India achieved a historic boxing performance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing at the top of the medal standings with seven gold and three silver medals. This tally broke the previous record of six gold medals held by England and Canada.
Priya Ghanghas secured gold in the women’s 60kg category after defeating Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh with a 4–1 score. Ghanghas, who previously won gold at the 2026 Asian Boxing Championships, rose through the ranks from her training beginnings in Haryana.
