The 22-year-old earned bronze medals in the welterweight division at the 2018 and 2019 Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi and Ulan-Ude respectively. 

After achieving yet another bronze at the Asian and Oceania Olympic Boxing Qualifying Event in Amman this year, Borgohain booked a place at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, now postponed until 2021. 

India have reported more than 96,000 cases of coronavirus, resulting in more than 3,000 deaths.
