2026

India topped the medal table at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games with seven golds and three silvers after a pulsating day of finals action over two sessions of boxing at the Scottish Event Centre (SEC) on the banks of the River Clyde.

The Indian team enjoyed victory in seven of the 10 finals it took part in, winning five of the seven women’s categories and two of the men’s.

England was the next best performing team, winning four golds on the day and equalling India’s overall count of 10 medals.

The other two nations that went home with gold medals were Australia with two and Northern Ireland with one.   

In the morning session, India was quick out of the traps with two victories as Preeti Preeti overcame Canada’s Scarlett Savannah Delgado at bantamweight (W54kg) and Jaismine Jaismine outpointed the defending champion, Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland, at featherweight (W57kg) to add the Commonwealth title to the World Boxing Championship she won in Liverpool in September 2025.

England’s first victory came in the women’s welterweight (W65kg) competition where Sacha Hickey used her speed and strength to good effect as she secured a unanimous victory over Northern Ireland’s Kaci Rock.

There was more success to follow for England in the men’s welterweight (M65kg) competition, where Patris Mughalzai, delivered a superb exhibition of counter punching to flummox Australia’s Jacob Cassar and win all three rounds on every judge’s card.

There was better news for Australia in the men’s bantamweight (M55kg) category where Jye Dixon broke India’s winning streak with a unanimous 5:0 victory over Jadumani Singh Mandengbam to land his country’s first gold medal of the boxing tournament.

After a series of unanimous wins, the men’s light-middleweight (M75kg) was a much tighter affair between Orlando Holley-Sotomi of Wales and Northern Ireland’s Jon McConnell.

The bout was finely poised after two rounds, but it was McConnell who made the most impact on the judges to take the last round on four cards and secure a 4:1 split decision to win Northern Ireland’s sole gold of the competition.

The final bout of the morning saw Isaac Okoh make it three wins from three for England with a classy display of backfoot boxing to outfox Connor Williams of Wales and secure a unanimous 5:0 win.

The afternoon session started in a similar vein to the morning with a string of victories by India’s women.

At flyweight (W51kg) Sakshi Sakshi used her size and reach advantage smartly to keep England’s Ruby White at bay and pick her off with long range shots to secure a unanimous victory.

A see-sawing lightweight (W60kg) contest between Priya Priya and Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh could have gone either way, but it was the Indian boxer that prevailed 4:1 thanks to a decisive final round.

The women’s light-middleweight (W70kg) final between India’s Arundhati Choudhary and Chantelle Reid of England was a tightly matched, cagey affair between two top-class boxers, ranked two and five in the world respectively. In the end, the judges favoured Choudhary’s work on the counter attack as she took the bout on all five cards.

Once again, it was Australia that halted the Indian juggernaut as Emma-Sue Greentree got the upper-hand in her middleweight bout with Lovlina Borgohain.  The bout swung both ways with Greentree making a strong start, only for the Indian to pin her back in the second. 

However, the Australian’s work rate and aggression made the difference as she took the final round on four of the cards, to win the bout on a 4:1 split.

The final three bouts of the Games featured India’s men in a series of closely fought contests.

At lightweight (M60kg), Sachin Sachin, appeared to be in trouble against Namibia’s Tryagain Morning Ndevelo but a strong final round by the Indian convinced four of the judges to score it in his favour and hand him the win on a 3:2 split.

England’s Dimeji Shittu started strongly in the light-heavyweight (M80kg) final taking the first round with all five judges, however India’s Ankush Ankush used all his experience to work his way back into the bout and take the win on a 4:1 split.

The 187^th and final bout of the Games, served up a mouthwatering clash between the two nations that had dominated the boxing competition as India’s Narender Narender took on Damar Thomas of England at super-heavyweight (M90kg).

After a day in which India had got the upper hand, Thomas managed to secure a degree of revenge for England, as he bossed all three rounds to secure a unanimous 5:0 victory and take home the final gold medal of the competition.

India enjoyed a triumphant semi-final day in the boxing competition at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games winning all 10 of its bouts on day of fantastic action at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) on the banks of the River Clyde.

It means India will have six women and four men in Saturday’s finals, when 14 gold medals will be handed out.

England was the second-best performing nation on the day with seven wins, followed by 

Northern Ireland and Australia which have three boxers each in the finals.

The first session of the day featured eight bouts in the women’s bantamweight (W65kg), welterweight (W65kg) divisions and the men’s welterweight (M65kg) and light-heavyweight (80kg) categories.

At bantamweight (W54kg), Canada’s Scarlett Savannah Delgado secured a 4:1 victory over England’s Lauren Mackie, while the world number three, Preeti Preeti of India, defeated Zambia’s Catherine Mwape of Zambia 5:0.

In the welterweight competitions, England enjoyed victories for Patris Mughalzai in the men’s category and Sacha Hickey in the women’s. Mughalzai will meet Australia’s Jacob Cassar in the final, while Hickey will face Northern Ireland’s Kaci Rock, after she ended the competition of Scotland’s first ever female boxing medallist, Caitlin Rainey, on a razor thin 3:2 split.

Unanimous wins for England’s Dimeji Shittu and Sachin Sachin of India in the light-heavyweight (M80kg) category drew the first session to a close.

Session two began with Northern Ireland’s defending champion, Michaela Walsh, who used all of her experience to ease her way into her fourth consecutive Commonwealth Games final with a unanimous victory over Fiji’s Jasmine Daunakamakama. 

Walsh will meet the world champion Jaismine Jaismine of India in Saturday’s final after she defeated Rapelang Maselela who has made history this week by becoming the first women ever from Lesotho to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games in any sport.

At light-middleweight (W70kg), Chantelle Reid secured a unanimous win over Australia’s Lekeisha Pergoliti. 

However, for defending champion, Rosie Eccles, it was not the swansong she was hoping for as the Welsh woman lost on all five cards to the Indian world number two, Arundhati Choudhary. 

It means Eccles will finish her career with a bronze medal from Glasgow to go with the gold she won in Birmingham in 2022 and a silver from the Gold Coast in 2018. 

Wales enjoyed better fortunes in the men’s light-middleweight (M70kg) competition where Orlando Holley-Sotomi outpointed Merven Clair of Mauritius 5:0 to set-up a final with Jon McConnell of Northern Ireland, who put out home favourite, Sonny Kerr.

Welsh fortunes continued on an upward trajectory in the first heavyweight (M90kg) semi-final as Connor Williams secured a 5:0 win over Garyn McAllister of Northern Ireland.

The second session ended in raucous fashion as the noisy home crowd tried to urge on Scotland’s Robert McNulty in his heavyweight clash with England’s Isaac Okoh. However, Okoh was unphased by the atmosphere and showed superior boxing skills to build up a strong lead in the first two rounds and safely navigate his way through a scrappy third to take the bout 5:0. 

It means that the home nation will not have a representative in Saturday’s finals and will finish the boxing competition with three bronze medals.

The third and final session saw India and England continue their good form in the women’s flyweight (W51kg) category as Sakshi Sakshi racked-up a unanimous win against Canada’s Amber-Jane Wall while England’s self-styled ‘pocket rocket’, Ruby White, stopped Mischa Monique Araes of Namibia in round two.

Next up, the two leading nations in the competition met as England’s Lucy Kings-Wheatley and Priya Priya of India clashed at lightweight. 

The contest was balanced on a knife edge and level on all of the judges’ scorecards at the end of round two, but it was Priya that finished the stronger to win the final round and secure a place in Saturday’s final against Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh of Canada.

The final women’s action of the day came in the women’s middleweight (W75kg) class and saw world bronze medallist, Emma Sue Greentree of Australia, defeat England’s Mary-Kate Smith on a 3:2 split. The second semi saw more success for India as Lovlina Borgohain become their sixth finalist with a unanimous win over Tarona Khanum Badi Pasoni Taafaki of Tuvalu.

The final action of the night saw Indian world number six Sachin Sachin defeat Wales’ Owain Harris-Allan at lightweight (M60kg). He will face Tryagain Morning Ndevelo in the finals after the Namibian delivered a sensational performance to defeat Birmingham 2022 gold medallist, Jude Gallagher of Northern Ireland on a 3:2 split.

In the last bout of the night, India’s team completed its clean sweep of 10 wins from 10 as super-heavyweight (M90kg+) Narender Narender secured a unanimous win over Nigel Paul of Trinidad and Tobago.

The Indian world number five will meet world ranked number nine, Damar Thomas of England, in what promises to be a titanic super-heavyweight final tomorrow after the Englishman progressed via a walkover due to his opponent, William McCartan of Northern Ireland, being withdrawn through injury.

All of today’s results, details of the draw, daily schedules and all other competition information is HERE.

Saturday 1 August 2026 is the final day of action in the boxing competition and will features two sessions of boxing and medal ceremonies starting at 11:00 and 16:30 local time.

The Executive Board of World Boxing met in Glasgow today to review progress across a wide range of strategic, sporting and governance matters as the International Federation continues its preparations for the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 and the further development of boxing worldwide.

A key focus of the meeting, hosted by President Gennadiy Golovkin and Secretary General Tom Dielen, was the allocation of major international competitions for the 2027–2029 cycle, including the Olympic qualification pathway for LA2028. 

The Executive Board reviewed the proposed hosts for the continental qualification tournaments in 2027 and the two World Qualification Tournaments in 2028, with hosting agreements now progressing for almost all qualifying events.

With the next World Championships taking place in Asia, the ExCo decided that the best bids for the two Olympic World Qualifier events came from Italy and Hungary.

The approved hosts are:

Continental Olympic Qualification Tournaments:

• Americas – United States

• Asia – China

• Europe – European Games, Istanbul

• Oceania – Samoa (pending delivery of key documents in the coming weeks)

• Africa – Nigeria (pending delivery of key documents in the coming weeks)

World Qualification Tournaments

• World Qualification Tournament 1 – Italy

• World Qualification Tournament 2 – Hungary

Final hosting agreements will be completed over the coming months.

The Executive Board also reviewed preparations for the 2027 World Boxing Championships in Astana and the wider international competition calendar through to the end of the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. 

Beyond competition matters, the Board continued its work to strengthen the governance and long-term development of World Boxing.

Members received an update on preparations for the World Boxing Congress, which will be held in Panama in November 2026, including proposed amendments to the Statutes, committee structure, and election procedures.

The Executive Committee also reviewed:

• Progress on the ASOIF Governance Review Action Plan, which is proceeding at pace and is designed to further strengthen transparency, integrity, and governance throughout the organisation.

• Proposals to establish new commissions covering Governance, Remuneration, Para Boxing, Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and Ambassadors & Global Impact.

• Applications from new National Federations and continued growth in World Boxing membership.

• The ExCo accepted that Russian athletes would now take part in World Boxing competitions like boxers from any other national federation. However, World Boxing will strictly monitor the behaviour of Russian delegations during events as well as compliance with anti-doping protocols. 

• Proposals for a new membership fee structure from 2027 onwards.

• Financial matters, including the audited 2025 accounts, the Finance and Audit Committee report, and the proposed budget for 2026–2029.

• Commercial and contractual developments, including procurement processes for future World Boxing events.

• Updates from the Medical Committee regarding athlete eligibility policies.

• Executive Committee calendar for the remainder of 2026.

Speaking after the meeting, World Boxing President Gennadiy Golovkin said: “Today’s discussions and decisions demonstrated the significant progress World Boxing continues to make both inside and outside the ring. From securing hosts for the Olympic qualification pathway to strengthening our governance, expanding our global membership and preparing for Congress, we are building an organisation that is stronger, more transparent and ready to deliver boxing’s successful future within the Olympic Movement.”

Speaking about the governance and eligibility work discussed at the meeting, Secretary General Tom Dielen added: “The ASOIF review confirmed what we had already flagged ourselves, and gave our working group some clear priorities to fix. As for Eligibility, we put a testing requirement in place before the IOC finalised its own approach, to remove uncertainty for our athletes. But having moved first, we want to continually review our process, which is why we are now collaborating closely with the IOC’s medical team.” 

England and India are joint top of the medal count table at the 2026 Commonwealth Games with 10 each after the second day of boxing quarter finals at the Scottish Exhibition Campus (SEC).

A day of top-class boxing saw 28 men and women guarantee at least a bronze medal with bouts in the women’s flyweight (W51kg), featherweight (W57kg) and light-middleweight categories and the men’s lightweight (M60kg), light-middleweight (M70kg), light-heavyweight (M80kg) and super-heavyweight (M90kg+) competitions.

The top performing nations on the second day of quarter finals were India with six winners followed by England and Wales with four each. It means that 16 countries have won a medal in boxing at the Games.

The afternoon session featured two defending female champions as Northern Ireland’s Michaela Walsh and Rosie Eccles of Wales made their first appearances in the competition.

At featherweight (W57kg), Walsh showed all her experience in a comfortable win over Lara Brown of Scotland winning every round on all five judges’ scorecards to guarantee a fourth Commonwealth Games medal. She will be looking to change the colour when she meets Fiji’s Jasmine Daunakamakama in their semi-final on Friday.

Rosie Eccles was equally untroubled in her light-middleweight (W70kg) contest which was brought to a halt by the referee in round two after the Welshwoman inflicted two knockdowns on Samukelisiwe Sinothile Ncube of South Africa.

The 2022 champion can expect a more taxing contest in Friday’s semi-final, when she faces the world number two, Arundhati Choudhary of India, who overcame New Zealand’s Morgan Henderson on a 3:1 split.

The other female winners in the early afternoon session were Amber-Jane Wall of Canada and India’s, Sakshi Sakshi, who will face-off in their flyweight (W51kg) semi-final on Friday.

The men’s weights saw more success for India with wins for Sachin Sachin (M60kg), Ankush Ankush (M80kg) and Narender Narender (90kg+) to finish the first session with five wins.

Not far behind were Wales who saw Owain Harris-Allan defeat Scotland Nicholas Devlin at lightweight (M60kg) while Orlando Holley-Sotomi delivered a stunning first round knockout to progress at light-middleweight (M70kg) and secure Wales’s third victory of the afternoon.

The other male winners in the afternoon session were Merven Clair of Mauritius (M70kg), Nigel Paul from Trinidad and Tobago (90kg+) and Canada’s Joshua Ofori, who received a walkover.

England did not have any boxers in the afternoon session but enjoyed another strong evening with four wins for Ruby White (W51kg), Chantelle Reid (W70kg), Dimeji Shittu (M80kg) and Damar Thomas (M90kg+).

The team’s only reverse came at featherweight (W57kg) where Elise Glynn lost out to Indian world champion Jaismine Jaismine who required a strong last round to edge past her English opponent on a 4:1 split.

The other featherweight semi-final featured another historic moment as Rapelang Maselela became the first women from Lesotho in history to win a Commonwealth Games medal in any discipline. She will join her teammate Pooana Khoahli in Friday’s semi-final after his victory in yesterday’s welterweight (M65kg) quarter final.

Other winners in the evening session included Northern Ireland’s 2022 gold medallist, Jude Gallagher, who defeated Albert Ngulube of Zambia on a split decision at lightweight, and home favourite Sonny Kerr, who secured Scotland’s third boxing medal of the Games with a comfortable win at light-middleweight (M70kg) over Marion Ah Tong of Samoa. 

At light-heavyweight (M80kg), Australia’s Paul Trainor delivered a gritty performance and a strong final round to overcome Daniel Pitt of Wales and set-up a semi-final with England’s Dimeji Shittu.

The night ended with two super heavyweight (M90kg+) bouts, Northern Ireland’s William John McCartan comfortably outpoint Ghana’s Daniel Plange and England’s Damar Thomas overcome Aziz Abdul of Uganda.

Thomas dealt well with the unorthodox style of the Ugandan and was well ahead on the cards when the referee stepped-in in round three to disqualify Abdul for use of the head, following two previous warnings. Thomas will meet McCartan in Friday’s super-heavyweight semi-final.

All of today’s results, details of the draw, daily schedules and all other competition information is HERE.

Tomorrow is a rest day in the boxing and the action will resume on Friday 31 July 2026 with 28 semi-finals across three sessions of boxing, starting at 10:30, 14:30 and 19:00 local time.

All the action will be televised live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.
