Four women boxers from Bhiwani, Haryana, won gold medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, powering India's best-ever boxing haul of seven gold and three silver. Sakshi Chaudhary (51 kg) defeated England's unbeaten Ruby White to end her 68-fight streak. Preeti Sai Pawar, Jaismine Lamboria, and Priya Ghanghas also struck gold. Sakshi, now an Army havildar, started boxing at 12 after a state talent hunt. Her mother Sheila, a former kabaddi player who could not pursue wrestling, sees her own dream realised. The village of Dhanana is preparing grand homecoming processions with hundreds of motorcycles and tractors.
