Isaac Okoh Aims for Boxing Gold at Glasgow 2026

Isaac Okoh, a boxer representing England and of Nigerian ancestry, is striving to win boxing gold at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, emulating former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Okoh has gained attention alongside fellow boxer Ruby White, a four-time European champion.

He won the 90kg title at the 2025 World Boxing Cup Finals and expressed excitement about competing in major tournaments like the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. Okoh comes from a boxing family; his father, Chris Okoh, was a Commonwealth cruiserweight champion in 1995.

He described himself as a confident, tall, southpaw boxer, eager to bring home a medal. Boxing at the Commonwealth Games involves three rounds of three minutes, with ten points available each round, and athletes compete in various weight categories.
