BIRMINGHAM: Nikhat Zareen not only won a gold for India on Sunday, but also showed what a sport she is.
Right after dominating Northern Ireland's Carly McNaul in the 50kg women's light flyweight final for a 5-0 unanimous verdict in her favour, Nikhat said, "Women's boxing is growing in India since Mary didi (Mary Kom) won a medal at the Olympics (London 2012). She has been a great inspiration for every boxer in India. I have always looked up to her and she has inspired me in so many ways. I want to enjoy this gold medal now, but Mary didi has set the path for all of us to follow."
