Nikhat Zareen of Telanagana breezed past
Anju Sabu
of Kerala while recently crowned gold medalist from the World Youth Boxing Championship
Shashi Chopra
of Haryana continued her good run of form as she defeated
Shamim Banu
of Manipur to advance to the next round of the second Elite Women’s National Boxing Championship on the third day, here at the National Boxing Academy in Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.
In the flyweight category, Nikhat, who was coming back to the ring after a year’s gap due to injury, looked to be in great form as she decimated her opponent and landed her jabs with great conviction from the first round itself.
Even though the bout went to the wire, Nikhat went away with the honors with a comprehensive 5-0 win.
“I’m happy to come back to the ring after a year’s gap due to injury and I felt in great touch as I returned to the ring for my first fight in one year and I would like to continue this form and challenge for the gold medal,” the 21-year-old Telangana lass said after her bout.
In another enticing clash of the Featherweight category, Shashi Chopra also advanced to the next round and will look to challenge for the crown as she beat Shameen Banu in a lop-sided affair which finished 5-0 in the Haryana lass’ favour.
