Olympic bronze medalist Lovlina outpunched the New Zealand pugilist Ariana Nicholson in the 70kg competition. The Indian used her long reach to good effect as she out tired out her opponent, who is 15 years her senior.

Lovlina's post on social media had stirred up a Hornet's nest and forced the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to take away the accreditation of the team's doctor and hand Sandhya Gurung the opportunity to be with her ward and help her prepare for her first bout.

Lovlina took to Twitter to accuse the federation. In her statement, which is written in Hindi, she alleged that her coaches who helped her win medals are being changed at regular intervals to hamper her training process.
