CWG 2026: Sachin Siwach Survives Stern Canadian Test To Book Pre-quarterfinal Berth
Scottish Event Campus: Indian boxer Sachin Siwach advanced to the pre-quarterfinals of the men's 60kg event at the Commonwealth Games 2026 after overcoming Canada's Keoma Al-Ahmadieh in a fiercely contested opening-round bout at the Scottish Event Campus on Saturday.
The 26-year-old former Commonwealth Youth Games champion prevailed by a 4-1 split decision, holding his nerve across three closely fought rounds to set up a last-16 clash against England's Will Hewitt on Monday.
The contest began at a high tempo with both southpaws exchanging punches in the centre of the ring. Sachin's sharper timing and cleaner connections proved decisive in the opening round, earning him a narrow edge as three of the five judges scored it 10-9 in his favour.
