Nishio (Japan) | Indian boxer Priya Ghanghas signed off with a bronze medal after going down to former world champion China's Yang Chengyu in the 60kg semifinal here on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old Priya, making her Games debut, went down 1-4 to her far more experienced Chinese opponent.

Indian boxers have bettered their last edition's performance (one silver, three bronze) by ensuring a six-medal haul.

Parveen Hooda (65kg) and Ankush Panghal (80kg) have already booked their place in the final, scheduled for Friday.

While superheavy weight boxer Narender Berwal signed off with a bronze medal on Tuesday.

Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) and Kapil Pokhariya (90kg) will look to make the gold medal bout later in the day.
