    Who will Ashish Kumar Chaudhary face?

    Ashish Kumar Chaudhary will face China's Touheta Erbieke in the Round of 32.  Erbieke finished fifth in the Men's middleweight at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta.

    He took up boxing at the age of just 10 years. Ashish, on the other hand, took up the box pretty late in life. 

    Erbieke qualified for the Tokyo Olympics back in March 2020 via his performance at the Asia and Ocenia Olympic Qualification Tournament in Jordan.

    Hola!

    The Indian men boxers have not really had a good time at the Kokogikan Arena in Tokyo. Both, Vikas Krishan and Manish Kaushik were knocked out in their respective first-round bouts in the previous two days.

    Up today is Ashish Kumar Chaudhary in Men's Middleweight Round of 32. With all the focus before the Olympics on Amit Panghal and Vikas Krishan, Ashish has mainly flown under the radar.

    Can he change it today? Stay tuned on this page to know that!
