NEW DELHI: Like most other amateur women boxers globally, India's newly-crowned world flyweight champion Nikhat Zareen will also have to move to a new weight category for the Paris Olympics in 2024 following the rejigging of divisions by the International Boxing Association (IBA).
Nikhat, who competes in the non-Olympic 52kg category, will need to shift to 50kg or 54kg division for the Paris Games. While the Asian Championships bronze medallist has decided to participate in the 50kg category at the Birmingham CWG, she is yet to figure out her weight class for Paris.
