Ruby White: Commonwealth Games silver medallist sends message to Sakshi Chaudhary after final defeat in Glasgow
Ruby White wants "revenge" on Sakshi Chaudhary after her defeat in the gold medal bout at the Commonwealth Games; White is targeting gold for Team GB at the 2028 Olympics

Teenage sensation Ruby White only joined the Great Britain Boxing academy in May - by August, she had taken the Commonwealth Games by storm.
The 19-year-old was unbeaten in 71 fights heading into the final, but couldn't extend her incredible streak and take the gold as a 5-0 defeat to Indian Sakshi Chaudhary saw her secure a silver medal in the women's 51kg category in Glasgow.
White's boxing career, though, is just beginning - and as far as she is concerned, the story between her and Chaudhary is far from over.

"When I'm a little bit more experienced in the senior ranks, I want to get my revenge!
"I was a little bit underprepared for the fight. I had a lot of pressure on me, first multi-sport games, first senior tournament. So I know I can get in there and win - I've just got to change the game plan a little bit more."
Despite her defeat in the final, White prefers to reflect on the positive moments from a tournament she had dreamt of fighting at during childhood.
"I had four very good fights and lost out on the finals. But to reflect back on it, being 19 and to go to the Commonwealth Games after only being selected for GB a couple of months prior, and to come back with silver in my first major tournament, it's amazing.
"I was very upset in the ring after I lost, but I'm on a good path and everything's been amazing ever since.
"It's all experience as an amateur until you get to the Olympics - that when it really matters - but the Commonwealth Games was such an amazing start.
"From seven years old, I worked it out: I always dreamt of going to the 2026 Commonwealth Games and then the 2028 Olympics.
"I'm on the right track to be at such a big tournament. To come away with silver is an achievement, and I'm happy."
White's success has caught the attention of many notable names across British boxing, but the one that stuck out most to her was that of Nicola Adams. The two-time Olympic gold medalist is an idol of White's - and she is hoping to emulate her success for Team GB in 2028.
"Nicola Adams - she surprised me on the radio, and she told me that I'm amazing and I'm on the right track and to keep focused.
"[An olympic gold medal] would be absolutely amazing. I'm just really going to keep training and living life like an athlete. Hopefully I can get to LA [in 2028] and I can bring that gold medal home."
