In a remarkable display of skill, India clinched its fifth gold medal in boxing at the Commonwealth Games, thanks to Arundhati Choudhary's victory over England's Chantelle Reid in the women's 70kg final on Saturday.

Choudhary triumphed with a unanimous decision, winning 5-0.

Earlier in the competition, Indian boxers Jaismine Lamboria, Preeti Pawar, Sakshi Chaudhary, and Priya Ghanghas also secured gold medals in their respective weight categories, while Jadumani Singh earned a silver medal.

Preeti dominated her bout against Canada’s Scarlett Delgado, winning the women’s 54kg final with a convincing 5-0 scoreline. Meanwhile, reigning world champion Jaismine followed suit, defeating Northern Ireland’s Michaela Walsh, the defending champion in the women’s 57kg, also by 5-0.

Sakshi added to the gold tally by defeating Ruby White of England in the women’s 51kg final, again with a 5-0 victory.

Priya faced a tougher challenge but managed to secure a gold medal in the women’s 60kg category, winning 4-1 against Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh of Canada.

On the other hand, Jadumani Singh fought valiantly but lost 0-5 to Australia’s Jye Dixon in a closely contested match.

Despite initially leading the first round 3-2, Jadumani could not maintain his advantage as Dixon rallied back to win the second round unanimously.

Jadumani had reached the men’s 55kg final after a decisive 5-0 victory over Namibia’s Philip Haoseb on Friday.

In the women’s finals, Jaismine started strong, winning the first round by a split decision before dominating the second round with powerful punches.

Preeti, at just 22 years old, began her gold-medal bout with a commanding performance, winning the first round unanimously with all judges scoring it 10-8 in her favor.
