Indian boxer Sachin Siwach continued his impressive run at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, defeating England’s William Hewitt to book his place in the men’s 60kg quarterfinals.
The world No. 5 delivered a composed performance against the fast-rising English boxer, winning by a 4-1 split decision to move within one victory of the medal rounds.

With two victories under his belt, Siwach has emerged as one of India’s leading boxing medal hopes at the Commonwealth Games and will now look to carry his momentum into the quarterfinals.
The Indian boxer has looked in control throughout the tournament, following up his Round of 32 victory over Canada’s Keoma Al-Ahmadieh with another assured display against Hewitt to reach the last eight.
