Boxing: Lakshya Chahar eliminated in Round of 16

Indian boxer Lakshya Chahar faced a 4:1 defeat on points against Omurbek Bekzhigit Uulu of Kyrgyzstan in the men's 80kg round of 16 at Hangzhou during the Asian Games 2023. Despite competing in an Olympic weight category, Chahar couldn't secure a Paris 2024 quota for India.

In a disappointing turn of events, fellow boxers Arundhati Chaudhary (women's 66kg), Deepak Bhoria (men's 51kg), Shiva Thapa (men's 63.5kg), and Sanjeet (men's 92kg) also bowed out in the round of 16 at the 19th Asian Games.
