Four golds for GB Boxers on successful final day of Glasgow 2026

FOUR GB Boxers were crowned Commonwealth champions on the final day of action in Glasgow, with Sacha Hickey, Patris Mughalzai, Isaac Okoh and Damar Thomas all winning gold medals to cap off a superb Games for the team.

Ruby White, Chantelle Reid and Dimeji Shittu also added to the medal haul, each earning a silver medal after losing out in their respective finals.

It takes the team’s overall medal tally to 11 for the Games, with Lauren Mackie, Lucy Kings-Wheatley, Mary-Kate Smith and Sonny Kerr having earlier secured bronze medals at the semi-final stage.

The 10 medals won by English boxers is the highest total achieved since the 1986 Commonwealth Games, while Sonny Kerr’s bronze added a further medal for Scotland.

Damar Thomas’s gold in the men’s 90+kg also continues a remarkable run for England in the super-heavyweight division, with Thomas becoming the fourth English boxer in a row to win Commonwealth gold at the weight, following in the footsteps of Delicious Orie (2022), Frazer Clarke (2018) and Joe Joyce (2014).

Sacha Hickey got the day off to a golden start, producing a composed performance to see off Northern Ireland’s Kaci Rock via unanimous decision in the women’s 65kg final.

Patris Mughalzai followed with gold of his own, defeating Australia’s Jacob Cassar via unanimous decision in the men’s 65kg final in what was his fifth bout of the competition – the most of any GB Boxer.

Isaac Okoh continued the run of success, seeing off Wales’ Connor Williams via unanimous decision to claim gold in the men’s 90kg final.

Damar Thomas rounded off a golden day for the team, defeating India’s Narender Narender in the final boxing event of the 2026 Commonwealth Games via unanimous decision in the men’s 90+kg final.

Ruby White had to settle for silver, losing out to India’s Sakshi Sakshi via unanimous decision in the women’s 51kg final.

Chantelle Reid also finished with silver, beaten by India’s Arundhati Choudhary via unanimous decision in the women’s 70kg final.

Dimeji Shittu completed the day’s action, narrowly missing out on gold with a 4:1 split decision defeat to India’s Ankush Ankush in the men’s 80kg final.

GB Boxing’s Performance Director, Rob McCracken, said: “To secure 10 medals, including four golds, for England and one for Scotland is a fantastic return from the boxers in our squad and a well deserved reward for all of their hard work and efforts.

“The boxers have performed superbly over the last eight days, in which some of them have had three, four or five bouts, and have shown they have what it takes to deliver on the big stage in a good quality competition.

“It has been great for their development and provides a good staging post for us to be able to analyse where the boxers are at in terms of their progress and the journey to the next Olympics in Los Angeles which is now just two years away.”
