India's Jaismine Lamboria and Arundhati Chaudhary booked their places in the boxing finals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Friday. The duo secured at least silver medals with commanding semifinal victories. They will now fight for gold in their respective weight categories.
Jaismine produced a clinical display to outclass Lesotho's Maselela. After taking the opening round unanimously, the Indian dominated the second with sharp counter-attacks and clean combinations. The referee stopped the contest because of Jaismine's overwhelming superiority, sending her into the final.
The Indian boxer controlled the bout from the opening bell with accurate punches and solid defence. She repeatedly punished her opponent with crisp jabs while avoiding Maselela's attacks. Jaismine will now face Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh in the gold medal clash.
