India’s Nikhat Zareen has won the Women’s World Boxing Championships in Turkey, becoming only the fifth Indian woman to be crowned world champion.
The boxer beat Thailand’s Jitpong Jutamas 5-0 in the flyweight division of the championship on Thursday.
“Am I trending on Twitter?” an elated Zareen asked at the press conference after her win.
This is India’s first gold medal at the championship since Olympic boxer Mary Kom won here in 2018.
