Five Indian boxers enter semifinals, assured of medal in U19 Asian Championships
Bangkok, Aug 7 (PTI) Five Indian male pugilists joined their seven women compatriots in the semi-finals of the U19 Asian Boxing Championships after registering convincing victories in their respective weight categories here on Thursday.
