India Wins Two Gold, Multiple Medals at World Boxing Championships

Indian boxing witnessed a historic performance at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool, with Jaismine Lamboria clinching the gold medal in the women's 57kg category by defeating Olympic silver medallist Julia Szeremeta of Poland. Jaismine's victory was marked by tactical adjustments and superior counterpunching, earning her a 4-1 split decision and making her the ninth Indian world boxing champion. Minakshi Hooda continued the triumph by winning gold in the 48kg category, while Nupur Sheoran and Pooja Rani secured silver and bronze respectively in heavyweight and non-Olympic weight categories. Nupur narrowly lost the +80kg final to Poland’s Agata Kaczmarska in a closely contested bout, and Pooja earned bronze after a semifinal defeat. This championship marked the first time three Indian women—Jaismine, Minakshi, and Nupur—reached the finals in the same edition, highlighting the growing strength and depth of Indian women's boxing on the world stage. The achievements were celebrated as some of the most memorable in Indian boxing history, reflecting a year of dedication and resilience following the Paris 2024 Olympics.
