The 2025 Boxing World Championships enter another decisive day with four Indian boxers ready to step into the ring.
With action spread across morning and evening sessions, India’s campaign will feature bouts in both men’s and women’s divisions.
Morning Session (Starting 3:30pm IST)
Pawan Bartwal – 55kg Men (Ring B, Bout 5 | ~4:30pm IST)
The day begins with Pawan Bartwal competing in the 55kg men’s category, scheduled as the fifth bout in Ring B. Assuming an average of 15 minutes per fight, Bartwal’s contest should begin around 4:30pm IST.
Bartwal, known for his swift footwork and sharp counters, faces a Brazilian opponent. The South American brings physicality and aggressive style, meaning Bartwal will need to rely on his mid-range control and precision combinations to make an early impact.
Evening Session (Starting 10:30 PM IST)
The evening promises a triple dose of Indian boxing action, with three fighters across different weight classes.
Sakshi – 54kg Women (Ring A, Bout 1 | 10:30 PM IST)
India’s evening campaign starts with Sakshi in the 54kg women’s category. She takes on Shkeul Victoria of Ukraine in the first fight on Ring A, expected at 10:30 PM IST sharp.
Sakshi has grown into one of India’s most consistent performers in the lower divisions. Against Victoria, a strong and resilient opponent, Sakshi will need to impose her speed and score early to tilt the bout in her favour.
Sanamcha Chanu – 70kg Women (Ring B, Bout 5 | ~11:30 PM IST)
Next up is Sanamcha Chanu in the 70kg women’s division, the fifth fight on Ring B, which should begin around 11:30 PM IST.
Sanamcha, transitioning strongly from youth to senior level, thrives on power and inside fighting. Her opponent, Frosthilm of Denmark, will likely rely on movement and defensive counters. For Chanu, the key will be closing the gap quickly and unleashing her heavy hooks.
Harsh Chaudhary – 90kg Men (Ring B, Bout 15 | ~1:30 AM IST, next day)
The final Indian bout of the day will feature Harsh Chaudhary in the 90kg men’s division. He faces Adam Tutak of Poland in the 15th fight on Ring B, expected to take place around 1:30 AM IST (early morning of the following day).
Chaudhary, competing in one of the heavier categories, carries the pressure of endurance and strength. Tutak, representing a strong European boxing culture, will test his patience and guard. For Harsh, keeping composure and landing decisive counters will be critical.
This packed day of competition will test India’s adaptability against varied international styles. With opponents from Brazil, Ukraine, Denmark, and Poland, the bouts present a broad spectrum of challenges.
Success here will not just push the boxers deeper into the tournament but also underline India’s growing presence on the global stage.
