World Boxing Cup: India’s boxing contingent continued its impressive run at the World Boxing Cup – Astana 2025, with Minakshi (48kg) and Pooja Rani (80kg) delivering assured performances to guarantee the country two medals on Day 3 of the competition.

Minakshi was the first to make her mark, producing a dominant display against Guo Yi-Xuan of Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals. The Indian pugilist showcased sharp footwork, precision punching, and superb ring awareness to seal a comprehensive 5:0 unanimous decision win.

Her ability to dictate the pace of the bout and score cleanly from range left the judges in no doubt, as she booked her place in the semifinals and ensured herself at least a bronze.
