Hello and welcome back! We're here with another live blog as India's Parveen Hooda takes centre stage in the women's 65kg quarterfinal at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Stay with us for live updates, lift-by-lift action, results and all the key moments from Glasgow.

India's battle against the home nations in the boxing ring continues, shifting from Northern Ireland and Scotland to England as Parveen Hooda steps up for her 65kg quarterfinal clash against England's Sacha Hickey. Much like Priya Ghanghas before her, this marks Parveen's opening appearance of the Games after receiving a bye to the last eight.

Parveen appeared to land the cleaner scoring punches early on, but England's Sacha Hickey successfully turned the opening frame into a scrappy affair. The judges ultimately awarded the first round 4-1 to the English pugilist, leaving Parveen with work to do to shift the momentum.

Parveen struggled to generate the necessary turnaround in the second round, with Hickey taking it 4-1 to maintain her control. With Hickey holding a two-point lead on three scorecards and the other two dead level, Parveen faces a steep, uphill battle heading into the final round.

Parveen mounted a strong surge in the final frame, claiming the third round by a unanimous decision, but it proved to be too little, too late to erase Hickey's early advantage. Sacha Hickey secured a narrow 3-2 split decision victory, bringing Parveen Hooda's Commonwealth Games campaign to a close.
