After winning her first major title in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, Nitu Ghanghas, the 48kg champion boxer, does not mind taking on World champion Nikhat Zareen in case they clash for a 50kg spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Nitu may have to face Nikhat, who won the World title in 52kg and the Commonwealth Games crown in 50kg, in the selection trials for the Olympic qualifiers if the latter sticks to 50kg.
Nitu is driven by her self-belief. “She (Nikhat) is an experienced boxer and I will give my 100 percent. While fighting, I don’t see who is standing in front of me. I focus on my own performance,” Nitu told The Hindu.
