India enjoyed a landmark day at the World Boxing Cup Finals 2025 as women boxers Minakshi (48kg), Preeti (54kg), Arundhati Choudhary (70kg) and Nupur (80+kg) clinched gold at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex on Wednesday. Their victories come at a crucial moment, with several of these divisions set to feature in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, where boxing will achieve full gender parity.
Minakshi kicked off the golden run with a commanding 5:0 win over reigning Asian Champion Farzona Fozilova, displaying her signature aggression from the opening seconds. Her impeccable left–right combination in Round 1 set the tone as she dominated the bout through sharp counters and tight defence.
In the 54kg division, Preeti followed suit with another clinical 5:0 victory, overpowering Italy’s World Championship medallist Sirine Charrabi. Using clean face punches, superior footwork and relentless pressure, Preeti kept her opponent cornered through all three rounds.
Former Youth World Champion Arundhati Choudhary, returning after an 18-month break, showcased a flawless blend of offence and strategy as she dismantled Uzbekistan’s Aziza Zokirova in yet another 5:0 win. Her tactical discipline and precise jabs left no room for a comeback.
The fourth gold came through Nupur, who secured a tough 3:2 win against Uzbekistan’s Sotimboeva Oltinoy in a tense contest that tested both stamina and strategy.
India also secured four silver medals in the men’s finals. Jadumani Singh (50kg) fell 1:4 to Uzbekistan’s Asilbek Jalilov, Pawan Bartwal (55kg) lost to Samandar Olimov, Abhinash Jamwal (65kg) went down 1:4 against Japan’s Shion Nishiyama, and Ankush Phangal (80kg) was defeated by defending champion Shittu Oladimeji of England.
With seven more Indian boxers set to compete for gold in Session 7 — including World Champion Jaismine Lamboira, two-time World Champion Nikhat Zareen, and dual Cup medallist Hitesh Gulia — India’s medal tally is expected to rise even further.
