Indian boxer Jaismine Lamboria, the reigning 57kg world champion, is competing at the 2025 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a clear goal: to upgrade the bronze medal she won at the 2022 Birmingham Games to gold. The 24-year-old from Bhiwani (a city in Haryana state long regarded as the heartland of Indian boxing) has had a standout year, winning World Cup titles in Astana and Delhi before claiming the world championship in Liverpool. Lamboria also holds the distinction of being the first female boxer inducted into the Indian Army, a milestone she hopes will inspire a new generation of women athletes through the Army's recently launched Girls Sports Company programme.
