Star boxer Nikhat Zareen and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain were on Thursday named in India’s team for the World Championships, scheduled to take place in Liverpool in September. The 20-member team was finalised after a week-long assessment at the National Institute of Sports in Patiala. The tournament, to be held from September 4 to 14, will be the first World Championships organised by the new governing body, World Boxing. It will feature competitions in 10 weight classes for men and women, marking the first time male and female boxers will compete in an Olympics-style event for the title of World Boxing Champion. Both Zareen and Borgohain missed the women’s nationals in March. The former, a two-time world champion, was injured at the time, while Borgohain wasn’t sent by the Assam state unit because of internal federation disputes. Nikhat and Lovlina returned to the national camp by competing in the Elite Women’s Boxing Tournament in Hyderabad earlier this month. However, they missed the recent World Cup in Astana. The men’s team includes Asian Games bronze medallist Narender Berwal (90+ kg) and two-time World Cup winners Hitesh Gulia (70kg) and Abhinash Jamwal (65kg), among others.
