Nikhat Zareen wants to get Olympic quota by taking advantage of World Championship experience

New Delhi. Nikhat Zareen, after claiming the world championship title for the second time, said she wants to use the experience gained from the global competition that ended on Sunday to qualify for the 2024 Olympics from the Asian Games to be held later this year. The Asian Games is the first qualifying tournament for boxers from the continent for the Paris Olympics. Nikhat, who had won the world title in 52kg last year, has now become world champion for the second time in 50kg, which is an Olympic category.

Nikhat said, “This tournament was a good experience. Especially in the 50kg category, which is the Olympic category. I was not even seeded so I had to fight six matches. But in the end I won gold here, which makes me very happy. The World Championship was Nikhat’s second international tournament in the 50kg weight category. He had won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games last year in the same weight category. Nikhat said, “For me this is the big tournament after the Commonwealth Games in this weight category. There is not so much competition in the Commonwealth Games. “He said,” Here countries come from all over the world and I had consecutive matches, due to which I was a bit slow in some matches. I will learn from these experiences and try to be stronger. ,

Nikhat is the second Indian boxer after six-time world champion MC Mary Kom to win two world titles. He said, “I am happy that I have won consecutive gold medals and I am happy to continue this winning streak. The Asian Games are also coming up soon and people definitely have expectations but I will take this pressure in a positive way. Whatever be the result, it will be a good lesson for me.
