Parveen Hooda and Ankush Panghal won their Asian Games boxing finals on October 2, adding two more golds to India’s tally. Parveen beat Chinese Taipei’s Chen Nien-chin 3-2 in the women’s 65kg final. Ankush defeated South Korea’s Kim Minseong 4-0 in the men’s 80kg contest.
The results were reported by Akashvani at 3:47pm IST and by PTI in an NDTV report updated at 3:57pm. The two wins followed Lovlina Borgohain’s earlier women’s 75kg gold, already reported by Asal Sach. This update concerns the subsequent finals, not a second presentation of her result as new.
PTI reported that India ended the boxing competition with six medals, including three golds. That was the country’s highest gold count in Asian Games boxing. It is a different measure from the overall medal haul: the 2010 Guangzhou contingent won nine medals, including two golds.
Parveen’s split verdict reflected a close final against a Paris Olympic bronze medallist. Ankush became the first Indian male boxer to win Asian Games gold since Amit Panghal in 2018, according to PTI. These are completed bout results; no prediction about future rankings or Olympic qualification follows from them.
