The Indian boxing contingent has scripted a monumental chapter in the history of the Commonwealth Games 2026 held in Glasgow.

Breaking the All-Time Medal Record

By securing 10 spots in the finals, the Indian pugilists have already shattered the previous all-time record for the most medals won by India in boxing at a single edition of the Commonwealth Games.
