Indian boxer Jadumani Singh committed to intensifying his training after securing a silver medal in the men’s 55kg boxing event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Speaking in Glasgow following the medal ceremony, the 22-year-old said he would learn from his errors and aim for gold at his next major competition.
“It feels really good; I’m very happy to have won a Silver medal in my first Commonwealth Games. Although I didn’t achieve exactly what I wanted, I will focus even harder for the next competition and bring home the Gold. The plan is to head back and resume our training camp; I’ll work on correcting the mistakes I made in this competition and improve further. I’d like to dedicate it to my uncle, the BFI, the SAI, and all of India, including our team coaches and the Army Sports Institute (ASI), where I’ve lived since childhood,” Jadumani told ANI.
Jadumani, from Manipur, lost to Australia’s Jye Dixon by unanimous decision in a closely contested final on Saturday. He won the opening round 3-2 but was outboxed in the second and third rounds as Dixon secured the gold.
Despite the defeat, Jadumani’s performance was among the strongest from Indian pugilists in Glasgow. He began with a 5-0 victory over Scotland’s Aaron Cullen and then defeated Pakistan’s Sumama Rehman by unanimous decision in the round of 16, dedicating the win to the heroes of the Kargil War.
He secured a medal with a 5-0 quarter-final win over Zambia’s Mwengo Mwale before outclassing Namibia’s Philip Haoseb with the same scoreline in the semi-finals to advance to the gold-medal bout.
Back in Imphal, Jadumani’s parents expressed pride in their son’s silver medal despite their hope for gold. His mother, Mandengbam Abem, said, “In today’s game, I felt that he was a little weak in some areas. We were aiming for gold, but he will continue to work hard and improve.”
His father, Mandengbam Milan Singh, added, “We do not feel any setback for not winning the gold medal. This silver medal in his first Commonwealth Games has made us satisfied, and it will give him an opportunity to work harder and prepare better for the future.”
Jadumani’s silver medal marked an impressive debut at the Commonwealth Games and contributed to India’s growing success in boxing at Glasgow.
