In the women’s 48kg quarterfinals, Bhawna triumphed over Vietnam’s Ngoc Linh Chi Ngo, while Yatri showcased her skills with a commanding performance against Keerththana Uthayakumar of Sri Lanka in the women’s 57kg bout, both winning by unanimous decision.

Earlier in the U19 Asian Boxing Championships 2025, India’s Shivam and Mausam Suhag achieved contrasting victories to advance in their respective weight classes on Sunday.
In the men’s 55kg category, Shivam dominated all three rounds against Turkmenistan’s Bezirgen Annayev to secure a unanimous decision.
Later, Mausam demonstrated resilience under pressure from Kazakhstan’s Nurkabyluly Mukhit in the 65kg category to achieve a close 3:2 victory.
