India's Boxers Eye Asian Games After Record Commonwealth Medal Haul
Boxers from India did an amazing job at a big sporting event called the Commonwealth Games.
They won seven gold medals and three silver medals.
That is the best record India's boxers have ever had at this event.
Because they did so well, people now expect them to win again.
Their next big challenge is the Asian Games.
The Asian Games will be held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
It starts on September 19 and ends on October 4.
Many people think the Asian Games is one of the hardest competitions in the world, after the Olympics.
That is because Asia has many very strong boxing countries.
The Indian boxers will have to train hard to show they can beat Asia's best.
India's boxing team won a record seven gold and three silver medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The historic haul has raised expectations for the team ahead of its next challenge.
The team is now gearing up for the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
The Asian Games are scheduled from September 19 to October 4.
