India's Women Take Four Medals in Liverpool as Men Draw Blank

The performance refocuses attention on limited post‑Paris exposure, with Olympic‑weight success carrying extra significance.

Overview

  • Jaismine Lamboria won the 57kg title on a 4–1 split decision over Paris Olympic silver medallist Julia Szeremeta, and Minakshi Hooda took 48kg gold with a 4–1 win over Nazym Kyzaibay.
  • Nupur Sheoran claimed silver at 80+kg and Pooja Rani secured bronze at 80kg, completing a four‑medal haul by Indian women, all from Haryana.
  • India finished third on the medals table behind Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan at the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool.
  • The men’s team failed to win a medal for the first time since 2013, underscoring a sharp contrast with the women’s results.
  • Three of the four podiums were in non‑Olympic categories with smaller fields—for example, only 10 boxers in 80+kg—an outcome weighed against reduced international competition after Paris due to BFI’s event choices.
