India continued its impressive campaign at the Asian Boxing Championships 2026, with a total of eight boxers, six women and two men, storming into the finals. Minakshi and Jaismine led the charge in the women's semifinals on Tuesday, while Vishvanath Suresh and Sachin added to the tally with strong performances in the men's category, according to a release.

In the women's 48kg semifinal, Minakshi registered a confident 4:1 victory over Thailand's Thipsatcha Yodwaree to seal her spot in the gold medal bout. Joining her in the finals, Jaismine edged past Uzbekistan's Nigina Uktamova in a closely contested 3:2 decision in the women's 57kg category.

In the men's division, Vishvanath Suresh (50kg) delivered a dominant performance, outclassing Jordan's Huthaifa Eshish with a unanimous 5:0 win to advance to the final. Sachin (60kg) also impressed with a solid 4:1 victory over Thailand's Sakda Ruamtham in his semifinal clash.

Narender suffered a 1:4 defeat to China's Bayikewuzi Danabieke, with the bout being stopped in the first round due to a cut. Harsh Choudhary also lost 1:4 to Tajikistan's Parviz Karimov.

Vishvanath Suresh with a 5:0 unanimous win! That's the kind of dominance we love to see. The men's tally is a bit low though, only two finalists. We need to develop more depth in the men's categories.

So proud of our boxers! 🥊 The hard work is showing. A bit worried about the losses to Uzbekistan and China, but 8 finalists is a huge achievement. Let's support them all the way!

The future of Indian boxing is in safe hands, especially with the women. But we must address why our men lost so decisively to opponents from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The federation needs to analyze this.
