“Am I Trending On Twitter,” Nikhat Zareen Asks, After Winning Women’s World Boxing Championship Gold

Nikhat Zareen became the fifth Indian boxer who won a gold medal in the world world boxing championship when he defeated Jutpong Thailand in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday. Living according to expectations, Nikhat struggled Jutama without sweating in the 52kg final with judges who scored a battle 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, 30-27, 29-28 to support Indians. Nikhat is the only fifth Indian woman to secure a gold medal in the world boxing championship after the six-championship record Mary Kom (2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018), Sarita Devi (2006), Jenny RL (2006) and Lekha KC (2006).

After winning, Nikhat was survived on Twitter by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other top personalities. He was also very happy to know that he was trending on Twitter.Am I trending on Twitter? That is one of my dreams,” said a happy Nikhat to Mediapersons during virtual interaction.”When I won a gold medal, I first remembered my parents because they had done many things in making me a boxer.”

It was also India’s first gold medal since Boxing Great Mary Kom won it in 2018.Nikhat started the lively beginning and hit some sharp blows to quickly go up in three minutes of confidence against Jutama, who came to the match to defeat the world championship medalist three times, Kazakhstan, Zhaina Shekerbekova, Kazakhstan.

The 25-year-old Indian took full advantage of his long reach and defended his dominance of Thai boxers, which he had defeated in the 2019-Open Thai semifinals-the only meeting between the two, on his peep medal.However, Jutama tried to fight back in the second half with a counterattack but almost unable to cause problems for Nikhat who moved quickly, which appeared in full control.

Hitting straight and clear blows, strength proved to be a key factor because Nikhat was careful in the wind in the final round and continued to attack without stopping before securing gold quite comfortably.
