Asian Games bronze medallist Pawar (54kg), competing in her debut Games, will fight with Vietnam's Vo Thi Kim Anh in the first round.

The 20-year-old Pawar is the youngest member of the Indian boxing contingent.
Indian boxers have won three Olympic medals to date, but none have been better than a bronze. Vijender Singh was the first Indian to stand on an Olympic boxing podium, clinching the men's 75kg bronze at Beijing 2008. Mary Kom and Lovlina Borgohain then followed in their respective categories.
