(JULY 26) As a core sport,
boxing has been a part of the Commonwealth Games since the very
first edition back in 1930. Competition returns at Birmingham in
2022 and the women’s section continues to develop.
Some of the amateurs on show will progress to become quality
professional fighters and here are some names to look out for
this year.
Sameenah Toussaint: England
English boxers dominate the overall medal table and, while their
male counterparts help to boost the tally, the women have
enjoyed more than their fair share of glory. In 2022, Sameenah
Toussaint is tipped for a productive tournament after being
involved with the sport for most of her young life.
It’s being widely reported that Toussaint was taken down to the
gym by her father after he was inspired by Nicola Adams’
breakthrough at the 2012 London Olympics. She was a reluctant
participant at first but has now embraced the sport to great
effect.
At the age of 19, Toussaint has a bronze medal in the flyweight
division from the 2022 Under 22 European Championships and she’s
aiming for an upgrade at the Commonwealth Games.
Lovlina Borgohain: India
India have been a competitive nation in women’s boxing and
female fighters have been picking up medals at the Summer
Olympics. Of the competitors taking part in the 2022
Commonwealth Games, Lovlina Borgohain could be worth considering
in terms of a gold medal.
In a much wider competition, she won a bronze medal from the
Tokyo Olympics last year. She’s only the second Indian female
boxer to achieve that feat behind Mary Kom.
Competing in the 70kg category, there is interest in Borgohain
from a betting point of view.
All women’s categories for Birmingham 2022 will be covered and
Lovlina Borgohain features very strongly in her event. As
competition gets underway, the odds will switch to the live
section of each sportsbook and they will remain in place until
the winners are decided.
Visitors to the Sbo.net website can take time to assess the
numbers. There will also be breaking news stories, blog posts
and reviews of each operator. Readers can also get directly
involved if they wish to do so. Each of the sportsbooks linking
into here will accept new customers and many publish generous
welcome promotions.
Once the sign up and verification process is complete, a range
of deposit options will be in place when it comes to the funding
stage. Customer services can assist at any point and there are
additional benefits moving forward.
Mobile betting via an app, ongoing promotions and live streaming
may also be accessible. It’s the one-stop shop for Commonwealth
Games boxing betting and there is a lot of interest in India’s
Lovlina Borgohain.
Caitlin Parker: Australia
Australian fighters showed strongly in their home, Gold Coast
Games of 2018. It’s a sport that is gaining solid momentum
across the country and Aussie athletes are expected to be in
contention once again.
In that 2018 competition, Caitlin Parker won a silver medal in
the 75kg category and she’ll be looking to go one better this
time around. She also competed at the Tokyo Olympics and, while
she didn’t make an impression in Japan, Parker should certainly
be among the medals in Birmingham.
Nikhat Zareen: India
There is real depth to this Indian Commonwealth Games squad and
Nikhat Zareen is another boxer hoping to add to the haul of
medals at Birmingham 2022. She is the reigning world champion in
the 50kg division and should come through in a weakened field in
the UK.
Despite a long career at international level, Zareen is still
only 26 and is coming into her prime years as a boxer. Victory
at the Istanbul World Championships will give her supreme
confidence and she is very much the fighter to beat in this
category.
There are many more contenders in what should be the most
competitive Commonwealth Games yet. It’s another great showcase
for women’s boxing and the four fighters on this list should be
looking to go deep into their respective categories.
