Great to see Haryana boxers performing so well! Himanshu Sharma and Anmol are showing why our state is the powerhouse of Indian boxing. But I wish there were more women boxers representing India in such tournaments.

While the wins are impressive, I'm concerned about Kartik Dalal's loss. Our boxers sometimes struggle in close bouts - need better strategy for split decisions. Still, 6 finalists is outstanding!

UP and Haryana dominating as usual in boxing! These states are producing champions year after year. When will other states step up their game? Need more boxing academies across India.
