Dominant Indian Performance Locks Six Medals in Asian Under-19 Boxing

India’s junior boxing team delivered a powerful statement at the Asian Under‑19 and Under‑23 Championships held in Jakarta. Six male pugilists advanced to the semi‑final stage, effectively securing six continental medals for the nation.

The athletes—competing across the 55 kg to 90 kg weight classes—won decisively. Notable victories include Sagar’s referee‑stopped contest in the second round against Indonesia’s Irnanda Firmandi and Shubham Rajput’s first‑round RSC over Indonesia’s Nawal.

Although a few boxers experienced narrow losses, the six secured medals demonstrate India’s rising competitiveness in age‑group boxing across Asia.
