Sakshi’s Quarter‑Final Triumph Guarantees Bronze at CWG 2026

Glasgow – On 29 July, Sakshi cemented her place among the Commonwealth Games 2026 medal hopefuls after a flawless 5‑0 win over Northern Ireland’s Caitlin Fryers in the women’s 51 kg quarter‑final. The bout, contested in SEC Hall‑5, saw Sakshi impose an aggressive game plan, earning 29 points from each of the five judges, while Fryers’ scores ranged from 25 to 27 after a point deduction for a warning. The Indian boxer’s victory secures at least a bronze medal, as Commonwealth boxing rules award bronze to both losing semi‑finalists. Sakshi now aims to win her next bout and fight for gold, joining teammates Preeti, Priya and Jadhumani Singh, who have also reached the last four in their categories.
