Core point

Jaismine Lamboria, the reigning 57kg world champion boxer from India, is preparing for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She aims to improve on her previous bronze medal performance from the Birmingham 2022 Games. Lamboria draws inspiration from cricket legend MS Dhoni for his calm demeanor under pressure. She is also the first female boxer inducted into the Indian Army, where she trains under the Mission Olympics Wing.
