Sakshi Chaudhary Highlights, CWG 2026: Indian Boxer Storms Into Semi-Finals, Assures India Of Another Medal

It’s official, Sakshi Chaudhary has guaranteed India a medal at the Commonwealth Games 2026! The Indian boxer produced a dominant 5-0 unanimous-decision victory over Caitlyn Fryers of Northern Ireland in the women’s 51kg quarterfinal.

Sakshi was in control throughout the contest, using her reach, sharp footwork, and cleaner combinations to keep Fryers under pressure across all three rounds. The unanimous scoreline reflects just how convincing the performance was.

With the quarterfinal win, Sakshi advances to the semifinals and secures at least a bronze medal for India at CWG 2026 in Glasgow.

This is turning into a serious statement performance from Sakshi Chaudhary. The Indian boxer has extended her lead after Round 2, and she does it in the most convincing way possible, all five judges score the round in her favour (5-0) against Northern Ireland’s Caitlin Fryers in the women’s 51kg quarter-final.

Sakshi looked much sharper in that round, using her footwork beautifully to stay out of trouble, picking her moments with crisp straight punches, and landing the cleaner combinations whenever Fryers tried to close the distance. The body-shot exchanges were intense, but Sakshi’s timing and composure stood out.

Three minutes now separate her from a guaranteed Commonwealth Games medal. Fryers needs something special in the final round, while Sakshi simply has to stay disciplined and finish the job in Glasgow.

We are underway in Sakshi Chaudhary vs Caitlyn Fryers! Fryers begins aggressively, throwing heavy punches from the opening bell and forcing the referee to separate the two boxers several times in the first 30 seconds.

Sakshi responds with a sharp jab to the head that draws a strong reaction from the crowd, and her cleaner punching earns her the opening round, with all five judges scoring it in her favour.

In the second round, Sakshi uses smart backfoot movement to avoid Fryers’ probing left hooks. The bout becomes increasingly physical as both fighters exchange hard body blows, while Sakshi lands a well-timed one-two combination to maintain control.

Both boxers briefly lose their balance and tumble to the canvas, but they are quickly back on their feet and the fight continues.

India’s Sakshi Chaudhary will face Northern Ireland’s Caitlyn Fryers in the women’s 51kg quarterfinal at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow on Wednesday, with a semifinal spot and a guaranteed medal on the line.

Sakshi comes into the bout after a dominant 5-0 unanimous-decision victory over Botswana’s Lethabo Modukanele, where she used her height and reach advantage effectively to control the contest.

The Indian boxer earned her place in the Commonwealth Games squad by defeating top domestic contenders, including Nikhat Zareen and Minakshi Hooda, during the selection trials in May.

Fryers, a European Championships silver medallist, will be Sakshi’s toughest test of the tournament so far, bringing strong international experience and an aggressive boxing style.

Sakshi will need to maintain distance, use her reach intelligently, and stay composed against the Northern Irish boxer’s pressure if she hopes to secure a place in the semifinals and continue India’s impressive boxing campaign in Glasgow.
