Two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen is amongst the current crop of boxers to have flourished at the international stage. With her slew of wins as a teenager and a promising career to look forward to, she was soon struck by a tragedy. The 2011 world junior champion snapped her shoulder in 2017 during an Inter-University Championships bout, forcing her out of the ring for nearly a year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While the Nizamabad-based pugilist broke all barriers to become the first Muslim girl to take up boxing professionally and represent India, staying away from the ring for almost a year was the toughest phase of her life so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nikhat participated in two international tournaments in 2024 winning the silver medal in 75th Strandja Memorial Tournament and a gold medal in the Elorda Cup 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
