Austeja Auciute wins seventh Lithuanian title

Austeja Auciute has her hand raised in victory.

Austeja Auciute won her seventh Lithuanian title at the weekend.

The former Finn Valley ABC star won the 66kgs crown in Panevėžys.

Auciute wasted no time in either semi-final or final – recorded first round stoppages in bot fights.

Auciute stopped Aiste Cesnaviciute in her semi-final on Friday.

In Saturday's final, Auciute swiftly disposed of Viktorija Strekaite to stay on top of the podium.

Earlier this year, Auciute lost to Ireland's Kaci Rock at the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships.

Last year, Auciute recovered from brain surgery, following the discovery of a tumor, to get back in the ring.

Only Jason Quigley and Steven O’Reilly have won more Irish crowns for a Donegal club than Auciute’s nine-title haul.

In 2011, she was a bronze medalist at the inaugural Women’s World Youth and Junior Championships in Turkey, while she also has multi nations gold and silver medals in her collection.
