Indian women’s boxers showed exemplary courage to win four medals at the World Boxing Cup Finals 2025 at the Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex Thursday.

India’s gold medal count was opened by Minakshi Hooda, who defeated Fozilova Farzona 5-0 in the women’s 48 kg final.

“I’m very happy. I want to thank my district coach, Vijay Hooda, for supporting me throughout. I also want to thank ITBP, SAI, OGQ and BFI for making me who I’m today. The home crowd also boosted my morale and it helped me to win the gold medal,” Minakshi told reporters after her match.

“I was nervous before the final but when I saw home supporters in large numbers, it motivated me and I won the bout 5-0. This is my best year and I want to continue working hard and make the country proud,” she added.
