Dubai: Six-time world champion MC Marykom failed to win her sixth Asian Boxing Championship title as she lost 2-3 to Nazym Kyzaibay of Kazakhstan in the final of the 51kg category here on Sunday, and settled for silver.

Despite having huge experience, Marykom, 38, failed to tame Nazym, who is nearly 11 years younger to her.

In the third and final round, Marykom made desperate attempts to recover the lost ground, but Nazym proved a hard nut to crack
