Sarjubala Devi triumphs via stoppage in the second round. In her second professional fight, Sarjubala Devi (2-0) defeated Thai opponent Khwunchit Khunya (4-12) at flyweight via injury-forced stoppage in the second round.

The two seasoned boxers were preparing for an even contest when a close call ended with Khunya clutching her left shoulder and gasping in agony, pleading with the referee Ajay Salvi to call time on the fight.

\Sarjubala entered this match. "We both got off to a good start, and by the second round, I had warmed up and was finding my groove. I was beginning to gain ground, but boxing is a combat sport. Although I did want to win, I do feel bad for her "She spoke.
