Odisha CM Congratulates Boxer Nitu Ghanghas on Winning Gold at CWG 2022

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has congratulated boxer Nitu Ghanghas on winning gold medal for India in women’s 48kg category at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.


21-year-old Nitu beat England’s Demie-Jade Resztan 5-0 in the women’s over 45kg-48kg (minimum weight) category to clinch gold. This is her first CWG medal and she is also a two-time world youth champion.

Nitu, who was competing in her first CWG, looked completely in control throughout the whole bout. The Haryana pugilist’s accurate punches helped her in controlling the pace of the contest and eventually led to the podium finish.
