The 16-year-old started in dominant fashion and grew in confidence as the bout went on, eventually taking what proved to be an historic victory for her nation.

It was also another excellent day of action for the American team as Ariel Arismendez claimed an enthralling win against Ireland’s Women’s Junior World Boxing Championships gold medallist Ciara Ginty in the youth light welterweight division.

Arismendez’s triumph saw her book a place in the last four of the competition, where she will face Russia's Ekaterina Nemtseva, which ensured she will leave the tournament with a minimum of bronze.

Team-mate Guadalupe Gutierrez, competing in her first bout of the event, sealed a spot in the semi-finals of the junior lightweight division thanks to a comprehensive victory over Nisha of India.

“In my opinion I had a good fight today in Taipei,” she said.

“I did not get sloppy or wild, and I stayed compact throughout the whole bout.

“My winning tactic was to try and stop my opponent as soon as I could, and I think it was successful.”

Elsewhere, America's 2014 Youth Olympic gold medallist Jajaira Gonzalez set-up a last four meeting with Kazkashtan's Nazym Ichshanova by virtue of a stoppage in her bout against Frenchwoman Marion Ensfelder in the youth flyweight category.

A successful day of competition for the United States was rounded off by youth middleweight star Iesha Kenney, who also reached the semi-final stage with an impressive win over Hungary’s Fanni Szokol.

There were also several surprises on day five, most notably when Kazakhstan’s Zhazira Urakbayeva ousted pinweight gold medal favourite Emi-Mari Todorova of Bulgaria, displaying dogged defence before eventually progressing to the next round.

Hungary's junior bantamweight Angela Nagy was also on the wrong side of an upset as she lost to India’s Mandeep Kaur Sandhu, who used her counter-punching style to perfection on her way to clinching a shock victory.

She will now go up against be France’s Johanna Wonyou in the semi-finals.

As a result of their excellent display on the fifth day in Taipei, India are now guaranteed six medals.
