Nikhat Zareen had a golden year in 2022. The 26-year old came through five fights to win the flyweight division at the World Boxing Championships in Istanbul. She went on to win gold at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in August, beating Northern Ireland's Carly McNaul in the final. Her father introduced her to the sport as he wanted his energetic daughter to channel her energy. She says she was questioned by some people for wearing shorts while boxing, but those same people were congratulating her once she started winning major medals.
Nikhat is one of the five nominees for the fourth edition of BBC Indian Sportswoman of the Year.
The award honours the contributions of Indian sportswomen in 2022 and celebrates the achievements of all women involved in sport in the country.
