Nikhat Zareen is the fifth Indian woman to win the World Boxing Championships, and she is aiming for qualifying for the Paris Olympics in 2024 after her win. The Indian team members Manisha Moun (57kg) and debutant Parveen Hooda (63kg) are returning with bronze medals.
Indian women have won 39 medals in total, with 10 golds, 8 silvers and 21 bronze medals till date.
Other than Mary Kom, India’s Lekha KC, Jenny RL and Laishram Sarita Devi are women’s world champions in their respective categories.
Till date none of the men boxers have won a gold at the world championship. That says a lot.
@smishdesigns, here is my ode to Nikhat, as you had asked for.
