Boxing Federation of India (BFI) President Ajay Singh congratulated Nikhat Zareen on her gold medal at IBA Women's World Boxing Championships and said that it is important for the world of boxing that she wins a gold medal at 2024 Paris Olympics.
Hardened by the difficult circumstances in her career, newly-crowned World Champion boxer Nikhat Zareen said she has adopted a combative approach where "whatever happens I have to fight and give my best." Continuing her stellar run, Zareen out-punched Thailand's Jitpong Jutamas by unanimous 5-0 verdict to clinch the flyweight (52kg) gold in Istanbul on Thursday.
India's Nikhat Zareen made the country proud by winning a gold medal in the 52kg weight category on Thursday at the Women's World Boxing Championship. In the summit clash, the 25-year-old got the better of Thailand's Jitpong Jutamas and as a result, she has become the fifth Indian boxer after Mary Kom, Sarita Devi, Jenny RL and Lekha KC to win a gold at the World Championships. Speaking to NDTV after the win, Zareen said that it is a great matter of pride of her that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also tweeted to congratulate her.
Maybe I'll get more real sense of it all when I return to India and meet my family, says the country's new world championNikhat Zareen has taught our world, hindered by patriarchy and tradition seeking, that scraped knees, a broken tooth and the occasional black eye can take a girl places. That these are not chains that bind you back as society expects. Instead these are wings on which you fly to your own sun. To each her own. " Kitney questions hain aapke, batao?" It is a drowsy, sleepy Nikhat who calls back from Istanbul, all because she had quietly promised to, without actually consenting. "I haven't slept since last night, the excitement of the thing, thinking about what will happen when I return to India. Tell me, who can sleep in all this madness? The hazaar interviews since morning. I haven't found a moment with myself alone," Nikhat Zareen complained, not bothering to stifle a loud yawn on Friday evening.

Nikhat became the only fifth Indian woman to secure gold medal at the World Boxing Championships after record six-time champion Mary Kom (2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018), Sarita Devi (2006), Jenny RL (2006) and Lekha KC (2006).
