Telangana Boxing star and the reigning world champion, Nikhat Zareen, and Lovlina Borgohain, the bronze medalist from the Tokyo Olympics, both won gold medals in their separate finals in the Elite Women's National Boxing Championships on Monday. The Railway Sports Promotion Board won the team trophy with ten awards in the 6th Elite Women's National Boxing Championships in Bhopal on Monday.

Lovlina of Assam defeated Arundhati Choudhary of the Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) 5-0 in the 75kg final, while Nikhat endured a hard test from Anamika of the RSPB in the 50kg final before the 26-year-old Telangana pugilist won 4-1 to defend her championship.

"It was an incredible year for me, winning 3 consecutive international gold medals and topping it off by winning the Elite women's national boxing championship gold medal. It wouldn't have been possible to finish the year undefeated without the support of my coaches John Warburton, Bhaskar Bhatt and @GoSportsVoices, and more importantly my family," tweeted Nikhat Zareen.
