March 12 ------ IRISH Magno followed the path of Eumir Marcial by punching a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics after winning a box-off against Sumaiya Qosimova of Taijikistan on Wednesday in Amman, Jordan.

Magno won, 5-0, to clinch one of two remaining Olympic slots in the women's flyweight of the Asia-Oceania Boxing Qualification Tournament at the Prince Hamzah Sport Hall.
