Ankush Seals India’s Seventh Gold

Ankush Panghal gave India its final gold medal of the tournament after beating England’s Dimeji Shittu in the men’s 80kg final.

After losing the opening round, Ankush raised his level in the remaining rounds and earned a 4-1 split decision to finish on top of the podium.

Sachin Scripts Memorable Comeback

One of India’s most exciting victories came in the men’s 60kg final, where Sachin Siwach produced a stunning comeback against Namibia’s Tryagain Morning Ndevelo.

Sachin was behind after the first two rounds but completely changed the contest in the final round. He forced a standing count on his opponent and edged the bout 3-2 on a split decision to win the gold medal.

Women Lead India’s Golden Run

India’s women boxers were the biggest contributors to the medal haul, winning five of the country’s seven gold medals.

Preeti Pawar opened the day with a dominant 5-0 victory over Canada’s Scarlett Delgado in the women’s 54kg final.

Jaismine Lamboria followed with another impressive display, defeating defending champion Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland by the same 5-0 score in the women’s 57kg final.

Sakshi Chaudhary then continued India’s winning streak with a comfortable 5-0 victory over England’s Ruby White in the women’s 51kg final.

Priya Ghanghas faced a tougher contest in the women’s 60kg final but stayed composed to beat Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh 4-1.

Arundhati Choudhary completed the women’s golden run with a dominant 5-0 win over England’s Chantelle Reid in the women’s 70kg final.

Lovlina and Jadumani Take Silver

Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain finished with a silver medal after losing 1-4 to Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree in the women’s 75kg final.

Jadumani Singh also settled for silver in the men’s 55kg event. He won the opening round, but Australia’s Jye Dixon fought back to take the next two rounds and claim the gold medal.

India’s record-breaking performance in Glasgow, featuring seven golds and three silvers, marked a new high for the country’s boxing programme and highlighted the depth of talent across both the men’s and women’s teams.
