Flyweight fighter, Nikhat Zareen gained respect among peers for winning a World Boxing Championship gold medal. The cash incentive for a champion in each weight category is $100,000 from the sport’s world body. For the Indian, the purse works out to a cool R75 lakh-plus for three rounds in the ring at Istanbul, where she defeated Thailand’s Jitpong Jutamas in the 52kg final.
