24-year-old Indian boxer Jaismine Lamboria from Bhiwani, Haryana, has stormed into the finals of the Asian Boxing Elite Championships 2026 after a thrilling 3-2 semi-final victory over Uzbekistan’s Nigina Uktamova in the women’s 57kg category. The bout took place at ASA Arena in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Born on August 30, 2001, in Bhiwani India’s famed boxing nursery Lamboria comes from a rich sporting lineage. Her great-grand-uncle Hawa Singh was a two-time Asian Games gold medallist, and her uncles were national champions who inspired her to start boxing young. She represented India at the Paris 2024 Olympics and made history in 2025 by becoming the country’s first gold medallist at the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool (57kg). She also claimed multiple World Boxing Cup golds.
Lamboria first cruised past China’s Ziyi Chen 5-0 in the quarter-finals before delivering this gritty semi-final performance. The 3-2 win secures her at least a silver medal and places her one step away from gold in the 57kg division.
With this result, India’s women’s boxing contingent continues its strong showing on the continental stage. From Bhiwani’s rings to world champion and now Asian finalist, Lamboria’s journey highlights exceptional talent and determination. The final beckons and fans are hopeful for a golden finish.
