Priya Ghanghas and Kapil Pokhariya won Asian Games boxing bronze medals after losing their semi-finals in Aichi on September 29, according to Olympics.com. In this competition, both losing semi-finalists receive bronze.

Priya lost the women's 60kg bout to China's Yang Chengyu by a 4-1 split decision. Kapil lost the men's 90kg semi-final to Uzbekistan's Turabek Khabibullaev, also by a 4-1 split decision. The decision numbers describe judges' verdicts, not goals or a boxing round score.

Lovlina Borgohain won her women's 75kg semi-final against Kazakhstan's Natalya Bogdanova by a 3-2 split decision. That victory earned a place in the gold-medal bout, but it does not make the final medal colour gold yet.

Olympics.com names China's Bao Ziyi as Lovlina's scheduled final opponent. This report separates confirmed bronze medals and a confirmed semi-final win from the still-pending final. It does not predict the winner or add athlete medal counts to an unverified live country total.
