Nikhat Zareen continued her winning run to enter the semifinals as she assured India of a third medal at the Boxing World Championships after defeating Raksat Chutamat of Thailand in the 50 kg category.
Earlier, the 22-year-old Nitu Ghanghas notched a second-round RSC (referee stops contest) win over Madoka Wada of Japan in her quarterfinal bout to assure herself and India of at least a bronze medal. The Indian played with aggression and landed a flurry of punches on her opponent, forcing the referee to stop the bout and rule in Nitu’s favour. Nitu has won all her three bouts in the tournament so far by RSC verdicts.
For India, however, it was a roller coaster day as four pugilists — Sakshi Choudhary (52kg), last edition’s bronze medallist Manisha Moun (57kg), CWG bronze medallist Jaismine Lamboria (60kg) and Nupur Sheoran (+81kg) failed to move to the last four stage.
While Sakshi lost to Yu Wu of China 0-5, Manisha was outplayed by a 1-4 margin by Amina Zidani of France. Like last year, Jaismine faltered in the quarterfinal stage once again, falling 0-5 to Colombia’s Paola Valdez. Nupur went down fighting to Lazzat Kungeibayeva of Kazakhstan 3-4 after a bout review.
