India won 10 boxing medals, including seven golds and three silvers, at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing as the sport’s top nation for the first time, The Times of India reports. The women’s team claimed six golds. Lovlina Borgohain added a silver in the 75kg category, her first Commonwealth Games medal, after losing 4-1 to Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree in the final, according to NDTV. Lovlina said continuing after her 2024 Paris Olympics quarterfinal exit, despite injuries and self-doubt, was itself a major achievement. She now wants gold at the Asian Games. India’s boxing team will face a tougher test there against Asian powers such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and China. The Times of India notes that India won only two Asian Games golds and one bronze at the last three Olympics.
