Parveen Hooda wins gold in the women’s 65kg boxing event at the Asian Games, defeating Chinese Taipei’s Chen Nien-Chen (also reported as Nien-Chin Chen) in a tightly contested final. Multiple outlets report the bout ends with a 3-2 split decision, with Hooda described as showing composure in the closing stages to edge the experienced opponent.
One outlet highlights Hooda’s comeback narrative as central to the result, while others focus on the narrow margin and the significance for India’s boxing campaign. Coverage also places the win within a broader moment for Indian women’s boxing at the Games, noting that Lovlina Borgohain earlier secures gold in a separate women’s boxing category, ending a previous drought for Indian women’s boxing golds at the Asian Games. Across reports, the shared emphasis is on the final’s close judges’ scoring and the addition of another boxing gold to India’s overall medal tally.
