Women’s World Boxing Championships: Can Nikhat, Lovlina, Nitu and Saweety Take Gold?

It’s an exciting time for Indian boxing fans as Nikhat Zareen prepares to take on Nguyen Thi Tam in the final of the World Boxing Championships. With the chance to make history by becoming only the second Indian boxer to win the title more than once, Zareen’s determination and skill will be on full display as she steps into the ring. The pressure is undoubtedly high, but Zareen has proven time and time again that she has what it takes to rise to the occasion. With each punch, she’s fighting not only for herself, but for her country and the future of Indian boxing. All eyes will be on this epic showdown, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.

India’s hope for a gold medal is on the shoulders of three incredibly talented boxers: Nitu Ghanghas, Lovlina Borgohain, and Saweety Boora. Amongst them, Nitu is leading the way as the two-time World Youth champion who has already made a remarkable impact in the World Championships by recording three victories by Referee Stops Contest (RSC) verdicts. Her next match against Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg of Mongolia in the finals will be one to watch out for. Nitu’s impressive performance so far has undoubtedly set the tone for the rest of the Indian contingent to follow in her footsteps, and there is no doubt that Lovlina and Saweety will be just as determined to bring home the gold medal for India.

Nitu, the Indian boxer, has had a rollercoaster journey lately, facing both wins and losses. However, winning against Kazakhstan in her recent fight has been the most pressurizing yet. After her triumphant win, Nitu feels confident, especially because she can now see a lot of improvement in her game. She has learned to seamlessly change her techniques according to her opponent, instead of just playing a single kind of game. Nitu is determined to play like this further, and has already begun prepping for her upcoming bouts. Although she hasn’t seen the fight of her next opponent yet, she plans to prepare accordingly. With such an attitude towards the game, we have no doubt that Nitu will continue to surprise and thrill us with her skills in the ring.

Nikhat, a prominent boxer who recently shifted to the light flyweight category, has been delivering an outstanding performance at her latest competition. She has managed to dominate all of her opponents, including some of the best champions in the world. From the African champion Roumaysa Boualam of Algeria to the two-time Worlds bronze medallist Chuthamat Raksat of Thailand, Nikhat has faced some serious challenges. Yet, she remained undefeated, even when battling against the Rio Olympics bronze medallist Ingrit Valencia of Colombia. Despite having to fight six bouts back-to-back, Nikhat’s incredible talent has landed her a spot in the finals, where she is leaving no stone unturned to defend her hard-earned title. To quote her own words, “my game is improving, and I hope to give my best in the finals.” We are sure that she will deliver yet another breathtaking performance that will leave us all in awe.

Lovlina’s pursuit for gold in the World Championships has been nothing short of extraordinary. With two bronze medals already under her belt, she knows exactly what it takes to stand on the podium. Now, she’s determined to claim the ultimate prize and add a gold medal to her impressive collection. In her way stands Caitlin Parker, a formidable opponent and a two-time Commonwealth Games medallist. But Lovlina is no stranger to tough competition, and she’s been at the top of her game throughout the tournament. Her recent victory over Li Qian of China in the semi-finals is a testament to her extraordinary skills in the ring. Come Sunday, we can expect nothing short of a thrilling match as Lovlina gives it her all to bring home gold for India.

Lovlina, a talented boxer from India, has been setting the ring on fire with her incredible performances in the 75kg category. Her journey has been nothing short of impressive as she has won National games, National Championships, and even the Asian Championship. But what’s remarkable is how comfortable and at ease Lovlina feels in this category. She no longer has to control herself much and can box with her natural weight, which makes her performances all the more effortless. Lovlina is gearing up for her next final, which undoubtedly will be tough, but she’s determined to follow her coaches’ advice and execute her strategies to perfection. Her ultimate goal is to win gold for India, and she’s ready to give it her all. With her unwavering dedication, Lovlina is an inspiration to all aspiring boxers out there.

Saweety from Haryana is set to contest for her second World Championships final, but this time it’s against the 2018 World champion from China, Wang Lina. Saweety knows the pressure is on and this is her golden chance to change the silver medal she received in 2014 to a gold. Back then, she also faced off against a Chinese opponent and had to settle for second place. Saweety is confident in her scoring and is determined to make her country proud. “I have worked day and night for this,” she said. With her determination and hard work, will Saweety be able to clinch the gold this time and make history? We’ll have to wait and see on Saturday.

India has reason to celebrate following their fantastic performance at the Women’s World Championships in 2023, where they claimed four hard-earned medals. This achievement has seen them claim joint third place in the medals tally alongside Colombia, and it’s definitely a feat worth taking notice of. While China and Kazakhstan hold the top spots with seven and six medals respectively, India’s success is still something to be proud of. This amazing display of talent and hard work by India’s women’s team is sure to inspire many aspiring athletes across the country, and hopefully, continue to drive progress in women’s sports. Congratulations to everyone involved in this incredible achievement.
