Women's World Boxing Championship: Nikhat Zareen wants to send parents to perform Umrah with prize money

New Delhi: Contrary to her earlier plans of buying a Mercedes, newly-crowned two-time world championship Nikhat Zareen now wants to send her parents to perform ‘Umrah’ with the prize money. Nikhat won her second world championship title with a 5-0 win over Nguyen Thi Tam of Vietnam on Sunday. With the title she also received $100,000 winner’s cheque and ‘Thar’ car gifted by sponsors Mahindra. She had earlier said she would buy a Mercedes car with the prize money. “I haven’t thought about it. Last time I said I will get a Mercedes but since I have got a Thar as a gift so now I’m thinking of not getting a Mercedes. “I want to send my parents for Umrah because Ramazan is going on. I will talk to them about this at home,” Nikhat, who belongs to a Nizamabad-based Muslim family, told reporters hours after her bout. ‘Umrah’ is a minor pilgrimage to the twin Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina. A believer in thinking positively, Nikhat said she manifests her two world titles and Commonwealth Games title. “Everyone has a success mantra. I visualise things. I like to think positive. I have written ‘champion’ and drew a gold medal on a sticky note and pasted it on my bed. “Every day when I wake up I see that, when I go to sleep I see that. It motivates me to do well. I did that for the last world championships, the CWG and this time too.” Nikhat has already qualified for the Asian Games , which is also an Olympic qualifier later this month. “My next target is Asian Games which is a qualifier. I hope to qualify for Paris Olympics.” Read all the Latest News , Trending News ,  Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
