India's Commonwealth Games 2026 campaign can achieve further prominence on Tuesday as the boxing contingent looks to confirm five more medals in the 23rd edition of the competition. Five Indian boxers are set to participate in the quarter-finals, and progression to the last four in their respective categories will at least assure the country of a bronze medal. The day promises several medal opportunities in weightlifting and athletics.
