In a frantic, hotly contested light-middleweight final, the bronze medalist from the 2021 Asian youth boxing championship Jaismine outpunched the 2022 world championship, bronze medalist, Parveen Hooda.
Amit Panghal, a boxer, ensured he advanced to the semifinals earlier in the day by winning the men’s flyweight division quarterfinals (51kg). He earned a unanimous decision victory over Lennon Mulligan of Scotland in the quarterfinals (5:0). Panghal eased into the fight after scoring several early huge lefts, but the Scotsman put up a resolute front and scored a handful of his own. In the second round, Mulligan started out strong and kept busy by forcing the Indian to the ropes. But in the second round, the more seasoned Panghal retaliated and punched his way free of the clinch.
