NEW DELHI: 10 days and six energy-sapping bouts. This would in a nutshell be Nikhat Zareen’s backbreaking journey at the boxing World Championships, if she manages to reach the final of her women’s 50kg category on Sunday.
The reigning flyweight champion has been spearheading a dreamy Indian challenge at the ongoing Worlds where eight of the country’s female boxers have made the cut for the quarterfinals and are a bout away from ensuring themselves of at least a bronze medal finish.
