Ankush Panghal Seals India’s Seventh Gold
India’s final gold medal came through Ankush Panghal, who defeated England’s Dimeji Shittu by a 4-1 split decision in the men’s 80kg final. The victory ensured India finished the competition with seven boxing gold medals, the highest by the country at any edition of the Commonwealth Games.
Panghal remained composed throughout the contest and produced a disciplined tactical display to edge past his English opponent in a closely fought final.
Sachin Siwach Produces Stunning Comeback
One of the most dramatic victories of India’s campaign came in the men’s 60kg final, where Sachin Siwach overturned a difficult start against Namibia’s Tryagain Morning Ndevelo.
After trailing during the opening two rounds, Siwach mounted an impressive comeback in the final round. His aggressive approach forced a standing count before the judges awarded him a thrilling 3-2 split-decision victory, adding another gold medal to India’s tally.
Arundhati Choudhary Dominates Women’s 70kg Final
Arundhati Choudhary continued India’s remarkable run in Glasgow with a commanding performance in the women’s 70kg final. She outclassed England’s Chantelle Reid, securing a comprehensive 5-0 unanimous decision after controlling the bout from start to finish.
Her technical superiority, consistent scoring punches and disciplined defence left little room for her opponent to respond, earning India another well-deserved gold medal.
Preeti Pawar Delivers One-Sided Victory
Preeti Pawar produced one of the most dominant displays of the tournament in the women’s 54kg final. She defeated Canada’s Scarlett Delgado by a unanimous 5-0 decision, with all five judges awarding each of the three rounds 10-9 in her favour for a perfect 30-27 scoreline.
Preeti further underlined her dominance by registering a knockdown during the contest, capping off a memorable performance that strengthened India’s position at the top of the boxing standings.
Jaismine Lamboria Lives Up to World Champion Status
Reigning world champion Jaismine Lamboria showcased her class in the women’s 57kg final against Northern Ireland’s Michaela Walsh. After edging a closely contested opening round, the Indian boxer gradually took complete control with accurate combinations, superior movement and clean punching.
She eventually claimed a convincing 5-0 unanimous decision, adding another gold medal to India’s historic campaign.
Sakshi Chaudhary and Priya Ghanghas Extend India’s Golden Run
Sakshi Chaudhary delivered another clinical performance in the women’s 51kg final, defeating England’s Ruby White by a comprehensive 5-0 unanimous decision. Throughout the bout, Sakshi maintained control with quick footwork, disciplined defence and precise combinations that prevented her opponent from gaining momentum.
Priya Ghanghas also added to India’s medal tally after overcoming Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh in a closely fought women’s 60kg final. Priya secured a hard-earned 4-1 split-decision victory to complete India’s golden sweep in another weight category.
Silver Medals Complete Historic Campaign
While India celebrated a record number of gold medals, three more boxers contributed silver medals to complete the country’s best-ever Commonwealth Games boxing performance.
| Boxer | Category | Medal |
|---|---|---|
| Lovlina Borgohain | Women’s 75kg | Silver |
| Jadumani Singh | Men’s 55kg | Silver |
| Narender Berwal | Men’s 90+kg | Silver |
Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain narrowly missed out on the gold medal after suffering a 1-4 split-decision defeat to Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree in the women’s 75kg final.
Jadumani Singh settled for silver in the men’s 55kg category after losing 0-5 to Australia’s Jye Dixon. Despite making a strong start by edging the opening round, the Australian boxer recovered well to claim the remaining rounds.
The tournament concluded with Narender Berwal earning the silver medal in the men’s 90+kg division after his final against England’s Damar Thomas. Although he fell short of gold, his podium finish completed India’s record-breaking 10-medal boxing campaign.
India Surpasses Previous Commonwealth Games Record
The Glasgow campaign marked a significant improvement over India’s previous best boxing performance at the Commonwealth Games. At Birmingham 2022, India secured seven medals—three gold, one silver and three bronze—but finished behind Northern Ireland in the boxing standings because Northern Ireland claimed five gold medals.
This time, India not only equalled its previous overall medal tally but also raised the benchmark by winning seven gold medals, comfortably finishing as the most successful boxing nation at the Games.
