Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sakshi Chaudhary said that she has already shifted her attention to the Asian Games, with the Indian boxer determined to build on her impressive campaign in Glasgow and challenge for another major international title.
Sakshi produced a dominant performance in the women’s 51kg boxing category at the Commonwealth Games, defeating England’s Ruby White 5-0 in the final to claim the gold medal. The Indian remained unbeaten throughout the competition and maintained a perfect 5-0 unanimous-decision record from the pre-quarterfinals through to the final. Her gold medal-winning performance in Glasgow was built on sharp movement, composed defence, accurate combinations and intelligent tactical adjustments.
Against White in the final, Sakshi controlled the contest from the opening bell and secured a unanimous victory, with the judges’ scorecards reading 30-27, 29-28, 30-27, 30-26 and 30-27.
