Tryagain Eyeing Gold After Securing Final Spot at Commonwealth 2026
Namibia’s medal haul at the 2026 Commonwealth Games is officially locked in, following a high-stakes showdown inside the ring.
By prevailing in a nail-biting semi-final bout against Northern Ireland’s J. Gallagher, Namibian boxer Tryagain Morning Ndevelo has advanced to the Men’s 60kg final, guaranteeing his nation at least a silver medal.
Inside the Judges’ Scorecards
The clash proved to be a razor-thin contest of tactical boxing, leaving the five-judge panel split down the middle before Ndevelo emerged victorious via a 3–2 split decision:
- In Ndevelo’s Favor: Judges from Japan (JPN), Morocco (MAR), and Kyrgyzstan (KGZ) all turned in 29–28 scorecards for the Namibian.
- In Gallagher’s Favor: Judges from Slovakia (SVK) (30–26) and Mexico (MEX) (30–27) favored the Northern Irish fighter.
Ndevelo’s poise and ring control in key moments proved decisive, earning him the crucial edge on three of the five cards.
With a medal already assured, Ndevelo now turns his attention to the ultimate prize. He stands just one win away from topping the podium and bringing home Commonwealth Gold for Namibia.
