England’s Isaac Okoh won gold in the men’s 90kg boxing, as England completed three first-place triumphs in the men’s 65kg, men’s 90kg and women’s 65kg on Saturday at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Okoh defeated Wales’ Connor Willmas by unanimous decision in the final, completing his unbeaten run to the title, after defeating Australia’s Lachlan Lawson in the quarter-finals and Scotland’s Robert McNulty in the semi-finals.

England clinched three boxing gold medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in the men’s 90kg, men’s 65kg and women’s 65kg, while claiming bronze in the women’s 54kg, women’s 60kg and women’s 75kg. 

The result meant England fell short of matching Australia’s 2018 record of six boxing gold medals at the Commonwealth Games.
