Indian boxing at Commonwealth Games 2026

Entities: Glasgow · Jadumani Singh Mandengbam · Mahendra Singh Dhoni · Indian Army · Kargil Vijay Diwas

Overview

On July 26 2026, Indian boxer Jadumani Singh advanced to the quarter‑finals of the men’s 55 kg event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, defeating Pakistan’s Sumama Rehman 5‑0 and dedicating his win to the heroes of the 1999 Kargil War. His victory followed an earlier 5‑0 win over Scotland’s Aaron Cullen and set up a quarter‑final bout that could secure at least a bronze medal for India.

Later the same day, attention turned to Jaismine Lamboria, the Indian Army’s first female boxer and reigning 57 kg world champion. Lamboria, a bronze‑medallist at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, entered Glasgow with a clear goal of winning gold. She highlighted the mental guidance she draws from former cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and noted her training under the Army Sports Institute. Her recent record includes World Cup titles and a world championship win in Liverpool. The two profiles illustrate India’s broader ambitions in Commonwealth boxing, with a male boxer already progressing in the tournament and a female contender poised to chase the top podium spot.
