Asian Games boxing gold: Redemption for Lovlina, Parveen, validation for Ankush

India achieved an unprecedented milestone at the Asian Games by securing three boxing gold medals and finishing atop the medal standings. Lovlina Borgohain, Parveen Hooda, and Ankush Panghal all delivered stellar performances to crown a six-medal campaign that outperformed regional powerhouses like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

Borgohain overcame a challenging period following previous tournament losses to defeat China's Bao Ziyi in the 75kg division, securing a split-decision victory despite a distinct height and reach test. Meanwhile, Hooda bounced back from prior setbacks to claim the 65kg gold medal by defeating Chen Nien-chin in a tight 3-2 verdict.
