From Commonwealth Gold to Asian Games Quarterfinals: Pria’s Road Continues

On September 26, at the Nishio Gymnasium, Pria Ghanghas translated her Commonwealth Games gold‑medal success into another milestone at the Asian Games 2026. Facing South Korea’s Oh Yeon‑Ji, a two‑time world‑medallist, Pria secured a unanimous 5‑0 verdict in the women’s 60 kg round of 16.

The Indian boxer’s strategy combined razor‑sharp jabs with tight defence, forcing Oh into a standing count early on. Judges awarded three 30‑27 cards and two 29‑28 cards, reflecting Pria’s clear control across all three rounds. Her third‑round counter‑punches earned an additional three‑two edge, confirming the win.

Advancing to the quarter‑finals, Pria will battle Tajikistan’s Mizgona Samadova on Monday, keeping alive her quest for a medal and reinforcing India’s competitive edge in Asian women’s boxing.
