The 26-year-old boxer from Bhiwani, Haryana, entered the final round trailing on the judges' scorecards. With the title slipping away, Siwach produced a remarkable late surge, relentlessly attacking his opponent in the closing moments of the contest.

The decisive moment came just before the final bell when Siwach landed a powerful punch that forced a standing count on Ndevelo. The dramatic finish convinced the judges, who awarded the bout to the Indian boxer by a 3-2 split decision, sealing another gold medal for India.
