Minakshi stuns World champion Nitu in women''s boxing National Championships
GREATER NOIDA: All India Police boxer Minakshi moved a step closer to defending her 48kg title as she stunned world champion Nitu Ghanghas of Haryana in the quarterfinals of the 8th Elite Women’s National Boxing Championship here on Monday.
The 24-year-old Minakshi, an Asian Championships silver medallist, dominated all through the three rounds to pick up a 4-1 split verdict win, defeating the biggest name in the ongoing competition.
Though known for her aggressive style, power and lightning-fast speed, Nitu, the 2022 Commonwealth Games champion and 2023 World's gold medallist, appeared out of sync, struggling to find her rhythm.
