Indian boxer Manisha Moun kick-started her campaign at the ongoing International Boxing Association (AIBA) Women's World Boxing Championship with a victory after defeating Christian Cruz of America in their opening encounter here at the Indira Gandhi Stadium Complex on Friday.

Showing a complete dominance, the Indian boxer thrashed her American opponent 5-0 in the women's 54kg boxing category.

Moun is among many young Indian boxers who are striving to get an identity for themselves through the ongoing prestigious tournament.

Having recently defeated former world champion Dina Zholaman in a boxing event in Poland, Moun is expected to come up with something special in the World Championship.

Later in the day, former world champion Sarita Devi will take on Daina Sandra Brugger of Switzerland in women's 60kg category.
