Life
Nishant took up boxing in 2012, inspired by his uncle, who was a professional boxer. He used to train under coach Surendra Chauhan at the Karan Stadium. Nishant's father used to wake him up at 4 in the morning and accompany him to training and did the same in the evening to ensure that his son was trained well.[3][4]
