Healthy competition behind boxers' rise: Bhatt
The New Indian Express|March 29, 2023
NIKHAT Zareen, Nitu Ghanghas, Lovlina Borgohain and Saweety Boora were the toast of the nation after the IBA Women's World Championships and rightly so. In their own unique style of boxing, they beat some giants of the game to corner glory in New Delhi.

Healthy competition behind boxers' rise: Bhatt

India women's team national chief coach Bhaskar Bhatt has been part of their journey for some time now, having worked with some of the pugilists, including Nitu, since their youth days. Expectedly, he's a delighted man and is intent on helping the boxers build on this period of success. Bhatt felt this fertile period in women's boxing is due to investment over the years. With youth boxers evolving and becoming more stronger at the senior level, the Indian team is in a better shape.

"Given that this championship was being conducted in India, I had tall hopes. Our boxers had been moving forward step-by-step for a few years now. Everyone, including the coaches and support staff, had joined hands and worked as a unit, helping the boxers push on. As many as six boxers from the 12member team were also part of the youth team," Bhatt noted.
