Women Lead India to Record Worlds Haul in Liverpool as Men Draw Blank

Medalists now pivot to LA28 with November's home World Cup a key waypoint.

Overview

  • Jaismine Lamboria won 57kg gold over Paris silver medallist Julia Szeremeta and Minakshi Hooda took 48kg gold over Nazym Kyzaibay, while Nupur Sheoran earned silver after a 3:2 final loss to Agata Kaczmarska and Pooja Rani claimed 80kg bronze.
  • All four medals were won by women, delivering India’s best-ever overseas World Championships tally and a third-place finish behind Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
  • Several medalists hail from Haryana, with Bhiwani and Rohtak underlining their status as key hubs in India’s boxing pipeline and hosting jubilant homecomings.
  • The men’s team finished without a medal for the first time since 2013, with analyses linking the slide to limited international exposure after Paris due to event-selection decisions during the shift to the World Boxing era.
  • Jaismine, Minakshi, Nupur and Pooja said their training now targets the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, identifying the India-hosted World Cup in November as an immediate benchmark.
