World Boxing Cup Astana: India’s star boxer Nikhat Zareen announced her return on the international stage with a clinical win in the opening round of the women’s 51kg weight category at the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool on Saturday.

The 29-year-old, who was crowned world champion twice before, had not competed in any international event this year, but did not show any signs of rustiness as she was dominated the USA’s Jennifer Lozano from the first minute to get a 5-0 verdict.

However, it was not a very good outing for the other two Indians in action on Saturday.
