Commonwealth Games: Indian boxer Sakshi on Wednesday vowed to turn her assured Commonwealth Games medal into gold after storming into the Women’s 51kg semifinal with a commanding victory over Northern Ireland's Caitlin Fryers, a result that guaranteed India another boxing medal at the 2026 Games under the tournament's two-bronze format.
Delighted after sealing a place on the podium in her maiden Commonwealth Games appearance, Sakshi said the quarterfinal victory was a significant milestone but insisted her focus had already shifted to the title.
“This victory was very important for me because with this, my medal has been confirmed. This is my first Commonwealth Games so I am feeling very good. Because of the hard work I did and the support from everyone, I was able to confirm my medal today. Now I will try to do better and change the colour of the medal to gold,” Sakshi told IANS.
