Nikhat Zareen (Boxing)

Nikhat Zareen, 26, realised her true potential when she emerged as 52kg World champion in Istanbul. A World junior champion in 2011, Nikhat went through several ups and downs and overcame her conservative background and a serious shoulder injury (2017) to establish herself as one of the best in the world. Two gold medals at the Strandja event (2019 and 2022), an Asian championships bronze (2019) and the recent World title along with some stunning wins over World and Olympic medallists make Nikhat a medal prospect in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
