NEW DELHI: India’s flyweight world champion, Nikhat Zareen, says she will be under no pressure playing in front of her home crowd at the upcoming IBA women’s World Championships, scheduled to be held here from March 15 to 26.
In fact, she is confident about defending her World Championships crown in her newly-acquired Olympic weight class of 50kg, following the rejigging of divisions by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for the Paris Games 2024. Nikhat had won the world title in a non-Olympic weight category of 52kg last year in Istanbul, Turkey.
