World champion Nikhat Zareen — Breaking barriers and braving the odds

The Hindu  

The jubilation across the country over Nikhat Zareen’s maiden World boxing title in Istanbul, Turkey, matched that of Mary Kom’s record sixth crown at home in 2018. READ | It was dramatic justice for Nikhat, who always relied on her boxing skills and believed in her right to compete by breaking the barriers — including the conservative social hurdle of being a Muslim girl, switching from athletics to boxing to dismantle the stereotype of girls’ non-participation in a male-dominated sport, a career-threatening shoulder injury which robbed her of a year and an unwanted controversy involving her ‘idol’ Mary — from an early age. Former World champion Sarita Devi admires Nikhat’s ability to overcome the odds.“It is not easy for a Muslim girl to pursue a sport like boxing. Nikhat’s maturity got reflected in the results — beating two World champions at the Bosphorus tournament last year, winning the gold medal at the Strandja memorial event and then winning the World crown.
