Chen Nianqin, who trained on behalf of the competition, warmed up quickly, and faced Turkey's Kochijit in the top 4 at the beginning, and she quickly showed an overwhelming advantage, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, Kochijit frequently fell into being beaten passively, and the referee stopped the game early in the last 10 seconds of the second round, allowing Chen Nianqin to advance to the championship match, and the opponent was Konstantinidoo of Greece.

"This time it's just for her to feel the strength of the 70-kilogram class." Coach Ke Wenming said that Chen Nianqin came prepared and showed excellent condition in the ring, hoping to continue this vigorous momentum and prepare for the international competition held by the World Boxing Federation (World Boxing) in Brazil at the end of March, "In fact, today's opponent is okay, Nianqin does not give her the opportunity to punch in the middle distance, and as soon as the opponent hesitates, Nianqin seizes the opportunity to attack fiercely in order to win in advance." ”
