Yuma nishinaka

World Boxing Championships: Two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen continued her march in the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool on Tuesday with a 5:0 win over Japan’s Yuma Nishinaka in the women’s 51kg pre-quarterfinals.

In fact, the Japanese even received two penalty points for excessive clinching as she tried to break Nikhat’s rhythm.

The 29-year-old faced a spirited fight from the Japanese in the opening round but there was no stopping the Indian, who is playing her first international event this year.
