On Monday, August 28, India's biggest medal hope Shiva Thapa, the winner of a bronze medal at 2015 Doha meet, bowed out without even stepping in the ring as she was forced to give a walkover due to food poisoning and fever.

An Indian team official told the Press Trust of India that efforts were made to get the 23-year-old to get going on Monday, but the Assam boxer had drained out due to fever and was too weak to fight.

Here is a look at the three quarter-final encounters.
