Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain, Nitu Ghanghas, and Saweety Boora will be buoyed by the home support as they fight hard to punch for gold at the Women's World Boxing Championships on Sunday. All four Indian boxers are assured of at least a silver after they pulled off commanding victories in their respective semi-final bouts on Thursday.

Nikhat has an opportunity to become only the second Indian to win the prestigious title more than once after the legendary MC Mary Kom, who has a record six titles to her name. She has lived up to her expectations in the light flyweight category after moving down to 50kg from 52kg as the latter was scrapped from the Paris Olympics.
