Home nation boxers impress again on first day of semi-finals at World Boxing Cup Finals in India

November 18, 2025

The first day of semi-final action at World Boxing Cup Finals – Greater Noida 2025, saw the home nation reassert itself with eight wins on another action-packed day at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex.

After being slightly overshadowed by Uzbekistan on day two, the Indian team bounced back with a series of impressive performances which included a second unanimous victory for the reigning World Boxing Champion, Minakshi Minakshi, in the women’s 48kg division. She will meet Farzona Fozilova of Uzbekistan in the final later this week.

Another home nation boxer to impress was Arundhati Choudhary (W70kg) who earned the first stoppage of the tournament, when the referee stepped-in in the third round to halt her contest with Germany’s Leonie Müller. It sets up another India-Uzbekistan final following Aziza Zokirova’s 5:0 win against Anastasiia Chernokolenko of Ukraine.

Other eye-catching performances on the day included a 3:2 split decision victory for Japan’s Shion Nishiyama (M65kg) over Adkhamjon Mukhiddinov of Uzbekistan. The Japanese light-middleweight has medalled at three World Boxing Cups since the start of 2024 and will hope to add a second gold to that collection on Thursday when he meets India’s Abhinash Jamwal.

All of today’s results, daily schedules, the official draw and all event information can be found on the official competition website HERE.

The highlight of the afternoon session was an upset in the men’s 70kg as the home nation’s Hitesh Hitesh secured a 3:2 split decision victory over Japan’s World Boxing Championship silver medallist, Sewonrets Okazawa, in one of the best bouts of the competition so far.

Other nations that enjoyed success on the day included Poland, Chinese Taipei and England whose all boxers earned two wins. Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Australia were the other victorious nations on the day with one each.

All the winners on the day are now guaranteed a medal and a place in the semi-finals of the competition. Tuesday will see 20 more bouts across two sessions of boxing which will start at 14:00 (IST) and 18:00 (IST).
