19-year-old Naman Tanwar will make his Commonwealth Games debut when he takes on Tanzania's Haruna Mhando on Day 2 of the games. Tanwar will represent India in the 91 kg category and will look to move on to the next round.

The boxing match will be taking place in Oxenford Boxing Studios in Gold Coast. Naman's competitor Mhando hails from Tanzania and is 17 years older than him. At age 33, this is Mhando's second appearance at the CWG, his first coming in 2010 when the games were held in Delhi. 

The Tanzanian reached round-of-16 in that edition.

The 19-year-old Indian, on the other hand, was the youngest champion when the national trials were held in Patiala.

Boxing has been one of  India's strongest claims for a medal in past editions of the games as well. Naman will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of predecessors by winning a medal in Gold Coast.
