Olympics: Nikhat Zareen, a two-time world boxing champion from India, is poised to make her mark at the upcoming Paris Olympics, stepping out from the shadow of the legendary MC Mary Kom, according to coach Blas Iglesias Fernandez. Having inspired a nation and followed in the footsteps of Kom, who won bronze at the 2012 London Olympics and recently announced her retirement, Zareen is expected to shine in her Olympic debut in the 50kg category.

Additionally, Fernandez expresses hope for a women’s boxing medal from Lovlina Borgohain in the revised 75kg category and optimism for India's male boxers at the world qualifiers in Bangkok.
