India advances multiple boxers to the finals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, with Ankush Panghal booking a spot in the men’s 80kg title bout. In the semifinal, Panghal defeats Canada’s Joshua Ofori by unanimous decision, with judges awarding him clear margins across the rounds. The reports describe Panghal controlling the pace with accurate combinations and maintaining composure as Ofori pushed more aggressively later in the contest. A point is also reported to be lost by Ofori for an illegal blow to the back of the head, widening Panghal’s advantage.
