Delivering a knockout: The story of India’s champion women boxers

Live Mint  

Nikhat Zareen likely didn’t want to sound like a 19th century British writer, but here it was. At the Women’s World Championship held in Delhi in March 2023, India won four gold medals: Nitu Ghanghas in minimum weight, Zareen in light flyweight, Lovlina Borgohain in middleweight and Saweety Boora in the light heavyweight category. The place is fondly called “Little Cuba” for producing a number of international boxers and came into the spotlight as one of its residents, Vijender Singh, won India’s first medal in boxing at the Olympics. In the final, she secured a 5-0 win over Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg to clinch India’s first gold at the 2023 World Championships. “The Delhi World Championships was the first time my mother was watching me live,” says Zareen, who won bronze at the 2022 Asian Games to qualify for Paris Olympics.
