Commonwealth Games: Indian boxer Priya stormed into the women’s 60kg semifinals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 after defeating Scotland’s Niamh Mitchell 4-1 on points in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. She joined fellow pugilist Preeti in assuring a medal for India.

Competing in front of a partisan home crowd, Priya showed remarkable composure after dropping the opening round on four of the five judges’ scorecards. She bounced back strongly to dominate the second and third rounds with sharp combinations, effective counter-attacks and superior ring control.

Four judges scored the contest 28-27 in Priya’s favour, while the fifth awarded her a commanding 29-26 verdict, sealing a convincing 4-1 split decision victory.
