Reigning world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen stormed into the final of women's 48kg after outclassing England's Stubley Alfia Savannah, her exploits overshadowing even Amit Panghal's display in men's 51kg at the Commonwealth Games on Saturday.

As expected, the 26-year-old Indian was in lead after the opening round with all the five judges ruling it in her favour, and it went on similar lines in the ensuing two rounds.
