Jadumani Singh Mandengbam defeated Scotland's Aaron Cullen by unanimous decision (5-0) in the men's 55kg preliminary round at CWG 2026 in Glasgow.
Jadumani will face Pakistan's Sumama Rehman in the pre-quarterfinals, setting up an India vs Pakistan boxing clash on Sunday evening.
Sachin Siwach defeated Canada's Keoma Al-Ahmadieh via 4-1 split decision to advance to the pre-quarterfinals, where he will face England's William Hewitt.
Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain has secured at least a bronze medal after receiving a bye into the semifinals, as both losing semi-finalists in CWG boxing earn bronze.
