India finished at the top of the medal table at the 46th International Tammer Boxing Tournament in Tampere, Finland, collecting 14 medals across the men’s and women’s events. The Indian contingent won four gold, two silver and eight bronze medals as the competition concluded on November 1, 2026. Arundhati Chaudhary, Aarti Dhariyal, Ankushita Boro and Pawan Bartwal secured the gold medals, while Jaismine Lamboria and Mohammed Hussamuddin added silver.

The result placed India first in the overall standings at a tournament that has been held annually since 1977. The 14-member squad was selected to provide international exposure to boxers across the country’s Olympic weight-category bench strength, including athletes ranked third in the national depth chart.

Four gold medals across the weight categories

Arundhati Chaudhary won the women’s 70kg final, defeating Ireland’s Igharo Evelyn Ivi by a 3-2 decision. The close verdict gave the Commonwealth Games gold medallist another international title and contributed one of India’s four gold medals in Finland.

Aarti Dhariyal claimed the women’s 54kg gold with a 5-0 victory over Scotland’s Kernachan Stephen. Ankushita Boro also won by a 4-1 decision, overcoming England’s Ella Thompstone in the women’s 65kg final. The two results gave India further victories in the women’s competition.

Pawan Bartwal completed the gold-medal list in the men’s section. He defeated Ireland’s Louis Rooney 5-0 in the men’s 55kg final, giving the Indian team its fourth title of the tournament. India’s gold medals therefore came from three women’s divisions and one men’s division.

Jaismine and Hussamuddin take silver

Jaismine Lamboria finished with silver in the women’s 57kg category. The Commonwealth Games gold medallist was among the established names in the Indian contingent, and her runner-up finish added to the team’s medal count. Reports on the final identified Finland’s Vilma Viitanen as the opponent who beat Jaismine for the title.

Mohammed Hussamuddin secured the other silver medal, in the men’s 60kg category. The two second-place finishes meant India collected medals in multiple divisions beyond the four finals won by its gold medallists.

The eight bronze medallists were Vivek Meena in the men’s 65kg category, Hitesh in the men’s 70kg division, Akshay in the men’s 80kg category, Bobin Chauhan in the men’s 90kg division and Chetan Choudhary in the men’s 90-plus kg category. In the women’s events, Tanu won bronze in the 51kg division, Disha Patil in the 60kg category and Imroz Khan in the 75kg division.

A 14-member squad gains international exposure

India entered the tournament with a 14-member contingent, comprising seven men and seven women. The stated objective was to give international competition experience to boxers ranked third in the country’s Olympic weight-category bench strength, along with leading pugilists in Olympic divisions that are not part of the Asian Games programme.

Boxing Federation of India president Ajay Singh said the tournament was an opportunity to test the country’s bench strength and allow athletes to compete against quality opposition. He also linked the exposure to the broader effort to build depth across weight categories ahead of future Olympic qualifying events.

The tournament was organised by the Tampere Boxing Association and has been held every year since 1977. The 46th edition featured elite men’s and women’s weight categories and was conducted under World Boxing competition rules, according to reports ahead of the event.

What India’s medal spread shows

India’s 14 medals came from a broad spread of weight divisions rather than a single cluster. The four gold medals included both men’s and women’s champions, while the silver and bronze finishes extended the team’s podium presence across the programme.

The result also provided competitive experience to a mix of established boxers and athletes being developed as part of the country’s wider weight-category pool. The performances in Tampere give coaches and selectors results to assess as they continue to build depth for upcoming international assignments.

With the tournament complete, the Indian contingent returns from Finland having finished first in the overall medal standings. The final tally of four gold, two silver and eight bronze gives the team a clear record of its performance at the 46th edition, while individual results provide a basis for evaluating each boxer’s progress against international opposition.
