While the wins are impressive, I hope the organizers provide equal media coverage for the girls' matches too. Our female boxers deserve just as much attention and support!

That's my boy Hardik! Saw him train at our local academy last year - kid's got insane work ethic. 5-0 against Kyrgyzstan is no joke. Keep making us proud! 🇮🇳

The article could use more details about the actual matches - what was their strategy? Any standout moments? Still, great to see India starting strong in this new championship format.

Rudraksh Singh is from my hometown! His family runs a small grocery store and he trains at a basic gym. Shows you don't need fancy facilities to make it big if you have the talent and determination ✨
