Prachi Tokas assures India of first medal at U-19 world boxing
The Story in Brief
Indian boxer Prachi Tokas has assured India of its first medal at the U-19 World Boxing Championships in Budva, Montenegro, after reaching the women's 80kg-plus semifinals. In her quarterfinal bout late on Tuesday, 20 October, she dominated Samoa's Kealey Perez across all three rounds. Prachi, an Asian U-19 silver medallist, will face Russia's Samira Itonieva in the semifinals.
Harshika and Lakshu also advanced in their pre-quarterfinal bouts, moving one win away from medal contention. Harshika defeated Australia's Tiana Rew 4-0 in the women's 65kg category, while Lakshu edged Turkey's Buse Nur Yahan 3-2 in the 70kg category. In the men's 90kg category, Dhruv lost 0-3 to Poland's Aleksander Sikora.
