Boxer Ashish Kumar (75 kg) bowed out of the men's middleweight (69-75 kg) category event in the Tokyo Olympics after losing to China's Tuoheta Erbieke in the round of 32 at the Kokugikan Arena. Touheta defeated Ashish 5-0 in the round of 32 match.

China's Touheta took the first round 5-0, and Ashish was put on the back foot straight away. A similar fate was in store in the next round, and hence chances of progressing to the next round looked slim for the Indian pugilist. Ashish was not able to come back in the final round, and had to bow out of the Olympics.
