Turkish national athletes won a total of five gold medals at the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships Friday.

Turkish boxer Buse Naz Çakıroğlu won the gold medal in the 50 kilogram category.

Çakıroğlu beat Colombia's Ingrit Lorena Valencia Victoria 5-0 in the Women's Light Fly final.

The bronze medals were shared between Uzbek Aziza Yokubova and Spaniard Laura Fuertes Fernandez.

In the Women's Bantam (52-54 kilogram) category, Hatice Akbaş was awarded the gold on Friday after beating Lacramioara Perijoc of Romania 3-2 in the final.

The bronze medals were shared by Kazakh Dina Zholaman and Thai Preedakamon Tintabthai.

After passing the first round without a match, the Turkish boxer eliminated German Zeina Nassar in the second round, followed by Armenian Ekaterina Sycheva in the third, Bulgarian Stanimira Petrova in the quarterfinals, and Thai Tintabthai in the semifinals.

This marked the third gold medal for Turkey in the organization as Ayşe Çağırır had bagged another top prize in the women's 48 kilogram category on Thursday.

Sürmeneli, 23, beat her Canadian opponent Charlie Cavanagh in the welterweight, to become world champion for a second time.

Finally, Turkey's Şennur Demir won the gold medal in the 81+ kilograms category.
