Liverpool: Taiwan's Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Huang Hsiao-wen clinched the gold medal at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in the United Kingdom, defeating Yoseline Perez from the United States in the women's 54-kilogram final.
According to Focus Taiwan, Huang achieved a 4-1 victory over Perez across three rounds, with only one out of five judges scoring in favor of the American competitor. The 28-year-old's triumph took place in Liverpool, where more than 540 athletes from 66 national federations were competing.
