Commonwealth Games boxing champions Preeti Pawar and Sachin Siwach have set their sights on Asian Games gold after India’s record boxing haul in Glasgow. Siwach won the men’s 60kg title, beating Namibia’s Tryagain Morning Ndevelo on a 3-2 split decision. Pawar took the women’s 54kg gold with a unanimous win over Canada’s Scarlett Delgado. Pawar, who won bronze at the 2023 Asian Games, said Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would pose tough competition. She will join India’s 11-member Asian Games boxing team at a national camp in Patiala from August 10. She also wants to win an Olympic medal at Los Angeles 2028. India’s boxers won seven golds and 10 medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, held in a format that excluded shooting, hockey, wrestling and badminton.
