Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting won bronze at the Asian Boxing Elite Championships in Mongolia, her first competition since gender-eligibility disputes at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 30-year-old competed in the 60kg division after winning Olympic gold at 57kg. She lost to North Korea's Won Un Gyong in the semifinals. Lin was cleared to compete in the female category by World Boxing following Taiwan's federation appeal. Her coach stated she aims to compete at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, later this year.
