Priya Ghanghas reaches Asian Games boxing semifinal

Indian boxer Priya Ghanghas stormed into the women’s 60kg semifinals at the Asian Games with a unanimous 5-0 win in her quarterfinal bout, assuring India of a medal.
Ghanghas dominated all three rounds, using sharp jabs and footwork to keep her opponent at bay. All five judges scored the contest in her favour, according to reports.
The result guarantees at least a bronze medal for India in the women’s lightweight category. Ghanghas is now one win away from a place in the final. In Olympic-style boxing, losing semifinalists both receive bronze medals, so her podium finish is secure.
Her run continues India’s strong showing in the boxing ring at the Games. The women’s squad has delivered consistent results across weight categories. The win adds to a strong boxing campaign for India at these Games.
What happens next: Ghanghas fights her semifinal on the coming day, with a shot at upgrading the assured bronze to silver or gold.
