Indian boxer Nikhat Zareen continued her brilliant forms to secure a medal at the 12th edition of the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships after registering contrasting win in the quarter-finals in Istanbul.
Confirming the first World Championships medal with a place in the semi-finals, Nikhat clinched a dominating 5-0 win against England's Charley-Sian Taylor Davison.
"My bout against England was so great. I only had one strategy that I was able to block her right hand and I was successful in that," said Nikhat Zareen.
"I am very happy that I have won the first medal for India. And I will continue to win for India I hope. My semi-final clash is with the Brazilian boxer. I haven't seen her game yet. I will practise with our coach and plan about it," she added.
