Jaismine Lamboria, India's 57kg world champion boxer, is competing at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games aiming for a gold medal after previously winning bronze at Birmingham 2022. Known for her composure, she draws inspiration from cricketer MS Dhoni. Lamboria, who trained at the Army Sports Institute in Pune, joined the Indian Army's Corps of Military Police in 2023, becoming the first female boxer inductee. She credits her Army mentors for both physical and mental development. The Indian Army also launched a program to train young female athletes in Olympic sports, including boxing, to create pathways to elite competition and military service.

Two boxers from Northern Ireland, Jon McConnell and Kaci Rock, initially considered participating in the reality television show Love Island but decided against it to focus on their athletic careers. They are part of Northern Ireland's top Commonwealth Games team and are competing in the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Rock emphasized her commitment to establishing herself in boxing rather than pursuing a career in reality TV. McConnell expressed openness to potentially joining Love Island in the future, possibly after winning a gold medal at the Games. The Commonwealth Games opened with a ceremony featuring the King and Queen, who made a dramatic entrance from a Tardis at the OVO Hydro arena.
