Nikhat outclassed Nguyen Thi Tam of Vietnam 5-0 in the 50kg fly weight final to retain her World title.
With the win, Nikhat became only the second Indian to win multiple gold medals after legendary MC Mary Kom at the Women’s World Boxing Championships.
Mary Kom won six World Championships gold in her illustrious career (2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018)
Nikhat now has Worlds gold in 2022 and 2023 editions.
Earlier, on Saturday, Nitu Ghanghas (48kg) and Saweety Boora (81kg) were crowned world champions.
Hosts India are on course to match their best-ever performance in terms of gold medals won with Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain set to take the ring later in the day.
India had won the four golds in the 2006 edition at home which was also the country’s best ever display with a haul of eight medals, including a silver.
