India began Saturday, August 1, with a remarkable chance to win 10 boxing gold medals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow. Every Indian who entered Friday’s semi-finals won, sending six women and four men into title bouts at the SEC Centre. By 4:00 PM IST, Preeti Pawar and Jaismine Lamboria had already won the first two finals, leaving eight more shots at gold. India’s overall tally had reached 27 medals, including seven golds, after the early session.
Key Highlights
- Ten Indian boxers reached the finals after India completed a perfect 10-out-of-10 semi-final run.
- Preeti Pawar won women’s 54kg gold, while Jaismine Lamboria claimed the women’s 57kg title.
- Eight more Indian boxing finals are scheduled from late afternoon through Saturday night in India.
- India has secured its best Commonwealth Games boxing haul, beating Birmingham 2022’s seven medals.
How Did All 10 Indian Boxers Reach The Finals?
India sent 14 boxers to Glasgow, and 10 are guaranteed at least silver. More strikingly, none of the Indian semi-finalists lost. The group handled close tactical bouts, physical exchanges and several convincing wins.
Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain led the experienced names, but the run was not built around one star. Jadumani Singh Mandengbam, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Panghal and Narender Berwal carried the men’s challenge. Sakshi Chaudhary, Preeti Pawar, Jaismine Lamboria, Priya Ghanghas, Arundhati Choudhary and Lovlina formed the six-woman line-up.
The line-up also brings different career stages together, from younger names chasing a first major senior crown to Lovlina, who already knows the pressure of Olympic podium bouts.
The official Olympics boxing report recorded India’s clean sweep, while Akashvani News called it the country’s best-ever boxing performance at the Games. That record was secured before the first final bell.
Which Indian Boxers Are Fighting For Gold?
Preeti opened against Canada’s Scarlett Delgado in the women’s 54kg final. She controlled the contest and earned a unanimous decision. Minutes later, Jaismine defeated defending champion Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland 5-0 in the women’s 57kg final.
Jadumani’s men’s 55kg final against Australia’s Jye Dixon follows in the afternoon session. The remaining finals begin at 9:00 PM IST, according to the updated Commonwealth Games boxing schedule.
Sakshi faces England’s Ruby White at 51kg. Priya meets Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh at 60kg, while Arundhati takes on England’s Chantelle Reid at 70kg. Lovlina boxes Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree at 75kg. Sachin meets Namibia’s Tryagain Ndevelo at 60kg, Ankush faces England’s Dimeji Shittu at 80kg, and Narender closes against England’s Damar Thomas in the +90kg final.
The official Team India update on X has also tracked the medal rush from Glasgow.
How Many Gold Medals Can India Win Today?
The direct answer is 10. India entered the day with 10 finalists, so a complete sweep was mathematically possible. Two gold medals are already confirmed, meaning the team can finish with anywhere between two and 10 boxing golds, depending on the eight remaining results.
A perfect sweep would be huge, but finals rarely follow a neat script. Several Indians face defending champions, experienced international boxers or strong English and Australian opponents. Split decisions can also turn on one round. India has created 10 genuine opportunities, not 10 guaranteed titles.
Still, the opening could hardly have been better. Preeti boxed cleanly, stayed ahead and did not leave the result open to debate. Jaismine then beat an accomplished rival with a unanimous verdict. Those wins remove early pressure and give the evening group something solid to follow.
The latest live Commonwealth Games updates confirmed India won its first two boxing finals and had eight remaining.
Why Is India’s Boxing Run Already Historic?
Whatever happens tonight, India will leave Glasgow with 10 boxing medals. That total has already gone past the seven won at Birmingham 2022. The finals are spread across ten weight divisions, showing depth rather than one isolated breakthrough.
The boxing surge has arrived during a lively Indian campaign. Neeraj Chopra won javelin silver, Yash Vir Singh added bronze, and Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh delivered India’s first Commonwealth Games judo gold medals. Praveen Chithravel and Selva Prabhu Thirumaran also produced a double podium in the men’s triple jump on Saturday.
For Indian boxing, Saturday is the big one. Ten finalists began the day. Two are champions already. Eight more bouts will decide whether Glasgow becomes a strong campaign or the most golden boxing night India has seen at the Commonwealth Games.
