Nikhat Zareen
Dominant efforts by two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Amit Panghal headlined Indian boxers’ march into six finals at the 75th Strandja Memorial Tournament here on Saturday.
Nikhat (50kg) started her bout cautiously against home girl Zlatislava Chukanova, taking some time to get into the rhythm but did not lose hold of the game as she won the round 3-2. Nikhat was clinical in the second round, giving no room to her Bulgarian opponent while delivering some accurate blows. The Indian continued her domination in the third round as well. Nikhat will square off against Uzbekistan’s Sabina Bobokulova in the gold medal match on Sunday.
