Leading the charge was Jyoti in the women\u2019s 48kg category, who edged past Mexico\u2019s Fatima Herrera 3-2 in a closely contested bout. The victory was particularly noteworthy as Herrera had claimed a historic silver medal at the World Boxing Cup in Brazil earlier this year after moving to the 48kg division.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India\u2019s challenge gathered further momentum when Minakshi (51kg) delivered a dominant performance against Spain\u2019s Laura Fuertes Fernandez. The former world No. 1 in the 48kg division, now competing in a higher weight class, outclassed her opponent with a unanimous 5-0 verdict to book her place in the title clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Prachi (57kg) continued her impressive run in the tournament, defeating France\u2019s Amina Zidani 4-1 to progress to the final. Prachi has been among India\u2019s standout performers in Guiyang, having already knocked out a Paris Olympics bronze medallist in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the men\u2019s competition, Deepak (70kg) sealed India\u2019s fourth berth in the finals with a clinical 5-0 victory over France\u2019s Makan Traore. Deepak controlled the contest from the outset and will now have a chance to fight for gold on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India also collected two bronze medals through Jugnoo (85kg) and Nikhil (55kg), whose campaigns ended in the semi-finals. Jugnoo suffered a 0-5 defeat against France\u2019s Junior Tadah, while Nikhil went down by an identical margin to the USA\u2019s Lorenzo Patricio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the men\u2019s competition, Deepak (70kg) sealed India\u2019s fourth berth in the finals with a clinical 5-0 victory over France\u2019s Makan Traore. Deepak controlled the contest from the outset and will now have a chance to fight for gold on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With four boxers in contention for gold, India will look to finish the World Boxing Cup on a high and add more medals to an already impressive campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
