Fatima Zahra booked her place in the last four after defeating New Zealand's Jordan Wilson in the quarter-finals with a dominant unanimous 5-0 decision
GLASGOW: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 28th, 2026) Pakistan's campaign at the Commonwealth Games received a major lift on Tuesday as national boxer Fatima Zahra advanced to the women's 60kg semi-finals, securing at least a bronze medal for the country.
Fatima Zahra booked her place in the last four after defeating New Zealand's Jordan Wilson in the quarter-finals with a dominant unanimous 5-0 decision.
Competing at SEC Hall 5 in Glasgow, the Pakistani boxer controlled the contest from the opening bell, producing an impressive performance across all three rounds. All five judges awarded the bout in her favour, confirming her comprehensive victory.
Under Commonwealth Games boxing rules, all losing semi-finalists receive bronze medals. As a result, Fatima Zahra has guaranteed Pakistan its first medal of the Games by reaching the semi-finals.
The achievement adds another milestone to her international career. Fatima Zahra previously won a bronze medal for Pakistan at the Islamic Solidarity Games and now has the opportunity to improve on that success.
She will next compete in the semi-finals, where a victory would secure her a place in the final and put her in contention for either a gold or silver medal. Her qualification marks a strong start for Pakistan's boxing campaign and raises hopes for further success at the Games.
