Greater Noida(Uttar Pradesh)[India] November 20: The stadium in Greater Noida felt alive. The lights were bright and the crowd was loud. Everyone wanted India to win.

Women Lead the Golden Charge

Nikhat’s Sharp Comeback at Home

Nikhat Zareen walked into the ring with pressure. She had not won international gold for almost 32 months. Her last big win also happened in India in 2023. She had lost at the World Championships in the quarter-final. People had questions. But Nikhat answered them in her own style. She fought Chinese Taipei’s young boxer Guo Yi Xuan. Nikhat took control from the first second. Her footwork looked light. Her eyes stayed alert. She used her reach well. She won 5–0 and the crowd cheered like never before.

Jaismine’s Strong Year Ends with Gold

Jaismine Lamboriya had a dream year. She won gold at World Cup Stage II. She won gold at the World Championships. She came to this final with confidence. She fought Wu Shih Yi, an Olympic medallist. Many thought it would be very tough. It was tough, but Jaismine stayed calm. She focused on strength. She focused on simple moves. She kept her mind steady. She won by a 4–1 split verdict. Her victory showed how young Indian boxers are growing with discipline and patience.

Men Put Up a Brave Fight

The men’s side also showed strong spirit. Sachin Siwach and Hitesh Gulia won gold medals. Many others reached the final. Some lost in close matches, but they fought with heart. India once had a stronger record in men’s boxing in the earlier years. Slowly, women took the lead. But this event showed balance again. The men punched hard. They defended with smart footwork. They brought hope for future championships.

New Training, New Confidence for the Future

Indian boxers trained differently this time. Nikhat sparred with girls from many weight categories. She even trained with 57kg boxers for the first time. This built speed and new strength. Jaismine worked on physical power. Nupur faced a tough rematch but kept her focus. Many boxers used lessons from past losses. Indian boxing has seen great days in history and quiet days too. This event felt like a new beginning. With 20 medals in total, India showed that preparation, belief, and support can bring strong results again.
