Boro hails from Assam, a state in north-east India that has produced a number of women boxers in recent years, supported by training programmes run by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Boxing Federation of India (BFI). She trained through the national youth and junior structures before competing on the international stage.
Boro represented India at the AIBA Women's Youth World Boxing Championships, where she won a gold medal in her weight category. The performance placed her among a group of young Indian women boxers who recorded podium finishes for India at the tournament. She has also competed in domestic national-level championships organised under the Boxing Federation of India.
Her success at the youth world level contributed to the growing visibility of women's boxing from Assam and the wider north-east region of India, following in the tradition established by boxers such as Mary Kom. Youth-level world titles are typically used as a pathway by Indian boxers towards senior international competition and selection for national camps.
