Great to see such strong performances from the women's team. However, the losses for Prachi and Priyansh show we need to work on consistency across all weight categories. The exposure at this level is priceless for their development.

Chandrika beating the USA boxer 5-0 is a massive statement! These young athletes are getting such valuable experience. Hope BFI continues to support them with good training and foreign exposure trips. Jai Hind!

Mixed day, but the wins are very promising. Radhamani Longjam from Manipur? Great to see talent coming from the Northeast as usual. Let's hope they all reach the finals! 🥊

Following this from Australia. The Futures Cup is a brilliant platform. The RSC win shows India's aggressive, dominant style. Good to see the article also mentions the earlier wins by Ambekar and Duhan. Keep the updates coming!

A respectful suggestion: while reporting wins is great, could we get more analysis? What worked for Radhamani? What did Prachi struggle with? This would help fans understand the sport better. But overall, proud of the team's effort!
