TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Japan's Tsukimi Namiki won the bronze medal in the women's boxing flyweight division at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday.

       The 22-year-old from Chiba Prefecture took the bronze after losing to Stoyka Zhelyazkova Krasteva of Bulgaria in a unanimous decision in the semifinals at Kokugikan Arena.

       Namiki's medal was the second for Japan in women's boxing at these games following Sena Irie's golden triumph in the featherweight final on Tuesday.

       Krasteva, a two-time world silver medalist at bantamweight, will face Buse Naz Cakiroglu for the gold medal after the Turk beat Huang Hsiao-wen of Taiwan in an earlier semifinal.
