India’s boxing contingent is assured of seven medals at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 after reaching the semi-finals in their respective weight categories.
Rohit Tokas’ spectacular performance earned him a comprehensive 5-0 win over Niue’s Xavier Mata’fa-Ikinofo in a men’s 67kg quarterfinal bout and fetched him a place in the semifinals at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham late on Thursday night.
It was a better-late-than-never moment for 29-year-old Tokas, who ensured his first medal in a major event and became the seventh Indian boxer to make it to the last-four.
