U-19 Asian Boxing Championships: Suman Kumari wins, three others bow out
Bangkok, Aug 1 (PTI) Suman Kumari gave India a winning start even as three other boxers were knocked out of the U19 Asian Boxing Championships here on Friday. Competing in the women's 48kg category, Suman outclassed Chinese Taipei's Meng-Sin Cheng to record a commanding and unanimous decision win in the morning session and advance to the next round. However, the momentum did not continue for the rest of the Indian contingent. In the men's 50kg division, Aakash Badhwar went down 1:4 in a hard-fought bout against Uzbekistan's Odilshoh Khalimov. Sarthi Saini (70kg) was unable to get past Haosheng Zhang of China, suffering a defeat in his opening bout. view comments First Published: August 01, 2025, 19:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Women's Asian Cup 2026: India to face Japan, Vietnam, Taipei in Group C
India were on Tuesday drawn with powerhouse Japan, former champions Chinese Taipei and Vietnam in Group C of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, the continent's showpiece tournament, to be held in Australia next year. The draw ceremony for the 12-team tournament to be run from March 1 to 21, 2026 was held at the Sydney Town Hall with Indian midfielder Sangita Basfore being one of the three draw assistants. The 12 teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. The Blue Tigresses will begin their campaign with a match against Vietnam on March 4, 2026, at the Perth Rectangular Stadium. India will then face Japan on March 7 at the same venue, before squaring off against Chinese Taipei on March 10 at the Western Sydney Stadium. The top two teams from each group and the two best third-placed sides will advance to the quarter-finals. The four semi-finalists will book their tickets to the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, while the losing sides from the quarter-finals will advance to the playoffs, where two more spots at the global showpiece will be at stake. Women's World Cup winners in 2011, Japan are the highest-ranked Asian team in the FIFA chart at seventh. They won the Women's Asian Cup titles in 2014 and 2018 but were denied a hat-trick after losing to eventual champions China in the semi-finals in the 2022 edition held in India inside a COVID-19 bubble. Vietnam, ranked 37th, will be targeting a spot at the 2027 Women's World Cup after making their debut at the 2023 edition. They topped the play-off round among losing quarterfinalists in the 2022 Women's Asian Cup in India to make it to the 2023 Women's World Cup. Chinese Taipei, currently ranked 42nd, have won the last of their three AFC Women's Asian Cup titles in 1980 and they will also aim to qualify for the 2027 Women's World Cup. India are currently ranked 70th in the world, the lowest in the group. In Group A, hosts Australia were drawn alongside Korea Republic, Iran and Philippines. Group B consists of DPR Korea, China, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. China are the defending champions and they will be seeking a record-extending 10th title. The Indian women's team was forced to withdraw from its group match against Chinese Taipei at the 2022 Women's Asian Cup in Navi Mumbai after a number of players tested positive for COVID-19 even while staying inside the bio-secure bubble. India were unable to name a minimum 13-woman squad for the match and it was considered a withdrawal, according to the competition rules. India had originally named a 23-member squad. That was after India played out a 0-0 draw in their first match against Iran.
