Ningbo City (China), Nov 24: Rounding off yet another all-win day, three Indian pugilists advanced to the quarter-finals of the fifth World Women's Boxing Championship on Monday.

Haryana boxer Chhoto Laura (50kg), a bronze medallist from the last edition in New Delhi, eased past Vietnam's Ngu Thi Thuyet 17-4 in the second round after getting an opening round bye.

She will square off against Virginie Nave of France in the last-eight stage.

N Usha, a silver medallist in New Delhi, was equally dominating in her 12-1 win over Mongolian Burmaa Erdenegrel in the second round of the feather weight division after she too got a first-round bye.

Usha will now be up against England's Abel Lucy. Reigning national champion Sushma Yadav (54kg), however, had to fight hard in a low-scoring second-round bout against Sofija Sidorova of Latvia.

Sushma trailed by a point in the first two rounds but blanked Sofija 3-0 in the final round to secure a place in the last-eight stage where she will take on American Cynthia Marella Moreno.
