Overview
- Minakshi Hooda (48kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg), Ankush Phangal (80kg) and Narender Berwal (90+kg) won quarterfinals in Greater Noida to guarantee medals for the hosts.
- The inaugural Finals run November 16–20 at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex with compact eight‑boxer brackets that begin at the quarterfinal stage.
- Participation is uneven as China skipped and Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan sent second-string squads, and only 44 of 80 women’s slots were filled, leaving several Indians directly into medal bouts including Nikhat Zareen at 51kg.
- India fielded a full team across 20 weights, facing a field that still includes recent world medallists such as Huang Hsiao‑Wen, Sewonrets Okazawa and Agata Kaczmarska.
- A gold medal here is worth 300 ranking points, and all bouts are being streamed live on World Boxing’s official YouTube channel.
