BOXING

Boxer Sagar Ahlawat beat his Nigerian opponent 5-0 via a unanimous decision to enter the final of the men's over 92kg category. With that, he has assured at least a silver for himself.

However, Mohammed Hussamuddin and Rohit Tokas had to settle for a bronze each in the men's 57 kg featherweight and 67 kg categories respectively. While Hussamuddin lost his semifinal 1-4, Rohit went down 2-3 in quarters.

It was a tough outing for PV Sindhu as she had to grind it hard to advance to the semi-final. The 2-time Olympic medallist beat Malaysia's Goh Wei Jin 19-21, 21-14, 21-18 to stay alive. However, Aakarshi Kashyap's run came to an end in the quarterfinals.
