NEW DELHI: It will be an irony that India's two best women boxers of current generation - Nitu Ghanghas and Nikhat Zareen - will come head-to-head one day to earn the bragging rights to represent the nation at the Hangzhou Asian Games and later at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
Their paths will cross, which both are aware of. And deep inside their hearts they know that it's an unfortunate scenario they can't avoid. Nitu competes in the minimum weight category (48kg) - a non-Olympic weight division - and Nikhat in the light flyweight (50kg), which is an Olympic category.
