Indian boxer Jadumani Singh beats Pakistan's Sumama Rehman 5‑0 at Commonwealth Games
On July 26‑27, 2026, at the SEC Centre in Glasgow, Scotland, Indian boxer Jadumani Singh Mandengbam defeated Pakistan's Sumama Rehman 5‑0 by unanimous decision in the men’s 55 kg round‑of‑16 at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Three judges scored the bout 30‑27 and two scored it 29‑28 in Singh’s favour, sending him into the quarter‑finals. Singh, 22, dedicated the win to the heroes of the 1999 Kargil War on Kargil Vijay Diwas, saying, “I dedicate my win to the Kargil heroes. I felt great winning against Pakistan.”
The victory continues Singh’s strong form; he had already recorded a 5‑0 unanimous win over Scotland’s Aaron Cullen in the round of 32. He will face the winner of the Zambia‑South Africa round‑of‑16 clash (Zambia’s Mwengo Mwale) in the quarter‑finals, where a win guarantees at least a bronze medal, as both losing semifinalists receive bronze.
The bout highlighted the India‑Pakistan sporting rivalry and added to India’s medal prospects across the Games, which also saw other Indian athletes such as weightlifter Mirabai Chanu win gold on the same day.
