A day after India’s Nitu Ghanghas and Saweety clinched gold medals in the Women’s World Boxing Championships on Saturday (March 25), Nikhat Zareen and Lovlina Borgohain will be eyeing to win two more gold medals for India on Sunday (March 26) at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in Delhi. Commonwealth Games 2022 medallist Nitu (48 kg) beat Mongolia’s Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg with a 5-0 scoreline to seal her first-ever World Championships medal before 3-time Asian medallist Saweety (81 kg) bagged another gold by defeating China’s Wang Lina.
“I am very happy after winning the gold medal. I fell short in my quest for the gold last year so we worked on the mistakes and won it this time round in front of the home support. Having discussed with my coaches yesterday I had decided to be aggressive since the first round today to get the scores in my favour. I have been working hard for many years and this medal means a lot to me,” said Nitu after her bout.
“I am thrilled after fulfilling my dream of becoming the World Champion. The bout went well and I was able execute our planning perfectly. My performances in the tournament got better as the bouts progressed with my body also responding well. I want to thank the fans for their constant love and support,” said Saweety after the bout.
On Sunday, Nikhat will take on two-time Asian champion Nguyen Thi Tam of Vietnam in the 50 kg final. If Nikhat wins, it will be her second consecutive gold in the World Championships. Lovlina, the Tokyo Olympics medallist, will square off against Australia’s Caitlin Parker, who has won two gold medals in Commonwealth Games.
