Manisha Moun (born 23 December 1997) is an Indian boxer who competes in the featherweight weight class. She won bronze at the 2019 Asian Amateur Boxing Championships.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Moun was born on 23 December 1997 in Matour village at Kaithal district, Haryana. She was the youngest of three children and her father worked as a tractor mechanic, before becoming bedridden after two heart attacks.[3][4]
Despite being disallowed by her parents from taking part in any sport,[5] Moun would sneak out of the house with her brother to play volleyball. She was soon noticed by a boxing coach and started her training at the age of 12, while keeping it a secret from her father. He discovered her participation two years later when he read a newspaper report of her winning a medal in a district-level competition.[2][4][6] Moun states that she used to fight in her locality and "beat up boys a lot" during her childhood.[4]
Career
[edit | edit source]2018
[edit | edit source]Moun won her first senior medal, when she came second at the 2018 National Championships.[2] In the 2018 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships, she made it to the quarterfinals in the bantamweight category; her wins over higher-ranked Christina Cruz and defending champion Dina Zholaman received praise.[2][5][7][8]
2019
[edit | edit source]She again won a silver medal at the 2019 National Championships[9] before going on to win a bronze medal at the 2019 Asian Amateur Boxing Championships, where she lost to Huang Hsiao-wen in a 2–3 split decision.[10]
After switching to the featherweight category,[11] Moun was not selected for the 2019 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships.[12]
