Moroccans on social media celebrated widely her title win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FAMILY DEDICATION World champion Khadija Al-Mardi said in a statement for Al-Youm 24: \u201cI am very happy to be crowned finally with the gold medal in the World Women\u2019s Boxing Championship, I dedicate this coronation to my family, who\u2019s been my support system, King Mohammed VI and to all Moroccans.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TEAM MOROCCO FEMME The Moroccan team included four female boxers for this world championship: Khadija Al-Mardi (+81kg), Yasmine Motaki (-48kg), who was crowned with bronze, along with Wydad Bartal (-54kg) and Rabab Cheddar (-50kg), who were eliminated, respectively, in the second round and the quarter-finals, against the Mongolian Mongontseg Enkhergal and French Lakhaderi Wassila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBA SUPPORT PORGRAM 23 nations enjoyed the Financial Support Program, advanced by the International Boxing Association (IBA) to allow boxers take part in the World Boxing Championships in New Delhi\u2019s K.D.

Step by step after their debuts, countries that are here for the first time, will develop faster in boxing,\u201d IBA President Umar Kremlev said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIBA Women\u2019s World Boxing Championships is not only a major competition, but a great exchange of experience for nations, as they have opportunity to train together and organise sparring especially for
