India’s Jaismine Lamboria created history by winning gold in the women’s 57kg category at the World Boxing Championships 2025 in Liverpool, defeating Poland’s Julia Szeremeta 4-1 via split decision. Szeremeta was the Paris Olympics 2024 silver medallist, making this victory particularly significant.
Jaismine Lamboria beats Paris Olympics 2024 silver medallist to win gold at World Boxing Championships. After losing the first round, the 24-year-old Commonwealth Games bronze medallist (2022) mounted a spectacular comeback to dominate the match.
