Kosovo’s Donjeta Sadiku has won the gold medal at the 2026 Mediterranean Games after defeating Serbia’s Kristina Kulukhova in the women’s 60-kilogram boxing final.
Sadiku secured victory in a high-profile final, adding a gold medal to Kosovo’s growing success at the Taranto 2026 Mediterranean Games.
The victory marks a major achievement for the Kosovar boxer, who has represented Kosovo at the Olympic Games and previously won medals at major international competitions.
Sadiku had already secured Kosovo’s first medal in boxing at the Games after reaching the semifinals, where she defeated Turkey’s Esmanur Lok by a 4–1 split decision in the quarterfinals.
Her latest victory over Kulukhova completes her run to the top of the podium and gives Kosovo another significant sporting success on the international stage.
The result is particularly notable given the opponent, with Sadiku defeating a boxer representing Serbia in a final watched closely in both countries.
Sadiku’s gold medal further strengthens her status as one of Kosovo’s leading athletes and adds another major achievement to her international boxing career.
