In one of the biggest upsets of the Olympic Games boxing competition, two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen (50kg) bowed out after a 0-5 loss to Asian Games gold medallist Wu Yu, completely outmaneuvered by the Chinese in a stunningly lopsided bout here on Thursday. 

Nikhat was unseeded for the Games as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is holding the boxing competition, doesn’t recognise the International Boxing Association (IBA), which conducts the world championship. One of India’s strongest medal contenders, she had been tasked to navigate a nightmarish draw.
