India has made history in the world of boxing, as four of its female pugilists clinched gold medals at the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championship held in New Delhi. The nation erupted in jubilation as boxers Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain, Nitu Ghanghas, and Saweety Boora secured their victories in the ring.
Nikhat Zareen, the two-time gold medalist, defeated Vietnam’s Nguyen Thi Tam with an impressive 5-0 scoreline in the light flyweight category finals. Zareen’s win made her the second Indian female boxer to achieve multiple gold medals in the World Championships, following in the footsteps of the legendary Mary Kom.
