AMMAN, Jordan -- Four Chinese boxers sealed their places at the Tokyo Olympics as they moved into the semifinals of the Asian/Oceanian Olympic qualifiers here on Sunday.

Li Qian, the top seed in the women's 75kg division, was the first boxer of the qualifiers to book her Olympic spot after beating Mongolia's Myagmarjargal Munkhbat 5-0.

"I'm really happy that I was the first to box today because I felt fresh," Li said to the media after the match.

"I'm so happy to qualify for the Olympic games and now I'm going to focus on doing my best the rest of the tournament to get a better seeding in Tokyo," she added.

Li, the 2016 Rio Olympic bronze medalist, will next face Asian champion Pooja Rani of India in the semifinals.
