Day 4 of the World Boxing Cup Finals in Greater Noida was another landmark achievement for the host nation, as six more Indian boxers secured their spots in the gold medal matches. This outstanding effort brings the total number of Indian finalists to 15, making India the most successful team in the competition by far.

The excitement reached fever pitch for the home crowd as the men’s and women’s teams delivered clinical wins, often against tough opponents from powerhouse nations like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

Leading the charge and showcasing their world-class skills were India's two most decorated women boxers. Two-time World Champion Nikhat Zareen (51kg) entered the ring with confidence and used her swift movement and experience to control her bout against Ganieva Gulsevar of Uzbekistan, earning a clear 5-0 unanimous decision.

Following her example, reigning World Champion Jaismine Lamboria (57kg) also delivered a flawless performance, beating Kazakhstan's Ulzhan Sarsenbek with an equally dominant 5-0 scoreline.
