In boxing, Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas, and Jadumani Singh have assured India of medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Asian Games bronze medallist Preeti Pawar assured herself of a medal after advancing to the semifinals in the women's 54kg division.

Preeti outclassed Northern Ireland's Nicole Clyde 5-0 by unanimous decision to book her place in the last four and guarantee herself at least a bronze medal.

The medal will be the first Commonwealth Games podium finish of Preeti's career. The Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medallist will next face Zambia's Catherine Mwape in the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Priya Ghanghas, who won gold at the Asian Championships in April in Ulaanbaatar, also entered the semifinals after overcoming local favourite Niamh Mitchell of Scotland by a 4-1 split decision in the women's 60kg quarterfinal.

Having received a first-round bye, the 20-year-old Indian recovered brilliantly after dropping the opening round. Mitchell edged the first round 4-1 on the judges' scorecards, but Priya responded with greater aggression and cleaner punching to claim the second round by the identical 4-1 margin.

In the men's boxing event, Jadumani Singh also confirmed a third medal of the day after defeating Zambia's Mwengo Mwale 5-0 by unanimous decision in the men's 55kg quarterfinal.

The boxer from Manipur controlled the pace right from the opening bell, mixing up his combinations and consistently landing the cleaner shots.

Mwale never really found his rhythm, and Jadumani completed a clean 5-0 sweep across all judges' scorecards to keep India's strong boxing run alive.
