All eleven athletes are making their Commonwealth Games debuts, with the squad also marking Team Scotland’s largest ever representation of women in boxing at the event.

Five women have been selected, including Niamh Mitchell, who was the European Junior Boxing Champion in 2022, and the first Scottish female boxer to win a major international competition.

Niamh was subsequently named Young Athlete of the Year at the Scottish Sports Awards and has since stepped up to the senior ranks, winning the British title and competing at the 2025 World Championships.

Niamh also recently claimed Scotland’s first-ever senior female international gold at an overseas multi-nation event, winning the Bocskai Tournament in Hungary.

She is joined by another trailblazer, six-times Scottish champion Stephanie Kernachan, Scotland’s first female British champion and the first woman to box for Scotland at the elite women’s World Championships.

The women’s squad is completed by Caitlin Rainey, a bronze medallist at the European Under-23 Championships in 2024, four-time British and six-time Scottish champion Brooke Neely, and Lara Brown, who took home bronze at this year’s Gee Bee Tournament in Finland.

Perrie was also a medallist at the European Under-23 Championships in 2024.

Leo Church, who is from Drumchapel, comes in fine form, having recently retained his title at the prestigious Algirdas Socikas Tournament in Lithuania, while the form of two-time British senior champion Sonny Kerr and former European Schools medallist Nicholas Devlin has helped them earn a place in this summer’s Games.

Elinor Middlemiss MBE, Team Scotland’s Chef de Mission, said: “I am delighted to welcome this talented boxing squad to Team Scotland for a home Games this summer.

“It’s particularly exciting to see a record female representation in the sport, amongst a group of boxers who have already achieved success on the international stage.”

The boxing competition will take place at the SEC Centre between July 24 and August 1.
