All Indian women boxers capable of winning gold at CWG: Head coach Nieva

Every Indian woman boxer heading to the Commonwealth Games has the ability to win gold, head coach Santiago Nieva said, expressing confidence that the team can better its medal haul from the previous edition in Birmingham.

The Indian women pugilists have enjoyed a successful run on the international circuit over the past year, winning medals at the World Cups, World Championships and Asian Championships.

“We know we have a strong team. And we have set a high bar with expectations to do our best,” Nieva said. “If we look at the results from this year, not only this year, even from the World Cup finals last year and onwards, most of our women boxers have won gold or maybe silver in the tournaments.
