Summary
24-year-old Jaismine Lamboria enters Glasgow as one of India's strongest boxing gold hopes, aiming to upgrade the Commonwealth bronze she won at Birmingham 2022.
2025 made her a leading contender: Lamboria won World Cup golds in Astana and Delhi, then captured the 57kg world title in Liverpool after dropping back from 60kg.
Paris 2024 ended in a first-round loss to Nesthy Petecio, a setback Lamboria says drove physical and mental changes through training at the Army Sports Institute in Pune.
The Indian Army has become central to that rise—after her 2022 bronze, Lamboria became its first inducted female boxer and now trains under the Mission Olympics Wing.
Glasgow's boxing finals run on July 31 and Aug. 1, where Lamboria says she wants to hear India's anthem again after experiencing that moment at the 2025 World Championships.
