Indian boxing produced its finest Commonwealth Games campaign ever in Glasgow, finishing with ten medals from ten finals reached – seven gold and three silver.
India’s gold medallists
- Sakshi Chaudhary (Women’s 51kg) – beat several world champions on her way to gold.
- Preeti Pawar (Women’s 54kg) – defeated Canada’s Scarlett Delgado.
- Jaismine Lamboria (Women’s 57kg) – beat defending champion Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland, adding Commonwealth gold to her 2025 World Championship title.

- Arundhati Choudhary (Women’s 70kg)
- Sachin Siwach (Men’s 60kg) – won a razor-thin 3-2 split decision over Namibia’s Tryagain Morni Ndevelo.
- Ankush Panghal (Men’s 80kg) – beat England’s Dimeji Shittu 4-1 to seal India’s seventh gold.
India’s silver medallists
- Jadumani Singh Mandengbam (Men’s 55kg) – lost to Australia’s Jye Dixon, one of the biggest upsets of the Games.
- Lovlina Borgohain (Women’s 75kg) – the Olympic medallist and India’s baton-bearer at the opening ceremony came up short in her final.
- Narender Berwal – lost to England’s Damar Thomas.
Seven golds in a single Games is a Commonwealth Games boxing record, beating the previous best of six, held jointly by England (London 1934 and Gold Coast 2018) and Canada (Edinburgh 1986). It also comfortably surpassed India’s own previous best of three golds, set at Birmingham 2022. The performance was the single biggest contributor to India’s overall 39-medal haul in Glasgow and features prominently in our wider look at India’s best individual performers at these Games.
England were the next-most successful boxing nation on the day, winning four golds, while Australia and Northern Ireland picked up one gold apiece. For India, it was a campaign that instantly reshaped expectations heading into the more heavily-contested boxing programme likely to feature at Ahmedabad 2030, where a home crowd will expect this record to be defended.
