Indian boxer Nikhat Zareen added a second world Championships title to her name, defeating Vietnam's Nguyen Thi Tam in the 50kg summit clash in New Delhi on Sunday. Nikhat upstaged Tam by a 5-0 verdict. Nikhat becomes only the second Indian after the legendary MC Mary Kom to win the prestigious title twice. On Saturday, Nitu Ghanghas (48kg) and Saweety Boora (81kg) were crowned world champions Hosts India are on course to match their best-ever performance in terms of gold medals won with Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain set to take the ring later in the day. India had won the four golds in the 2006 edition at home which was also the country's best ever display with a haul of eight medals, including a silver.

Nikhat Zareen will be buoyed by the home support as she fights the final bout to defend her world crown. And standing between her and the second world title is another fancied opponent -- two-time Asian champion Nguyen Thi Tam of Vietnam. For Nikhat, it's a chance to become only the second Indian to win the prestigious title more than once after the legendary MC Mary Kom, who has a record six titles to her name. Nikhat, who has moved down to 50kg from 52kg after the latter was scrapped from the Paris Olympics, has given a good account of herself in the light flyweight category. The 26-year-old arguably had the hardest path to the final among all Indian pugilists, having to fight strong opponents across five bouts in the highly-contested Olympic category.
