INDIAN boxing will soon witness some high-profile bouts with marquee names like Nikhat Zareen and Lovlina Borgohain set to return to action.

- ANMOL GURUNG @Chennai

As reported by this newspaper last month, the two star pugilists, along with several other elite names including Paris Olympian Preeti Sai Pawar, will be taking part in the Elite Women Boxing Tournament, which is scheduled to begin from June 27 to July 1 in Hyderabad.

This will be Nikhat's first competitive action since the Paris Games. The double world champion, along with Preeti, had taken part in a 17-day exposure tour in Tashkent, Uzbekistan last month. Upon their return to the country, the duo have been training in Inspire Institute of Sport, Bellary and were expected to travel to Hyderabad for the aforementioned event, which holds quite a lot of significance.
