Indian ONE Championship fighter Ritu Phogat is heading into married life after she and her partner Sachin Chikara got hitched this past week.
Phogat, who owns seven wins under ONE Championship, posted images of her wedding on Instagram with several personalities congratulating her on the milestone.
She wrote on Instagram:
“I’m so lucky to be called your wife now and I can’t wait to spend the rest of our life together. I love you 💋❤️. It was a very magical and special day that I loved absolutely every second of it.”
Ritu Phogat wrote in another post that she even trained during her wedding day and even went into her photoshoot wearing boxing gloves.
“We can not escape from the things that are in our DNA. Yes, I did my practice on my wedding day and got a photo session done in my gloves too!”
Phogat is one of the most influential Indian athletes of her generation, and she’s part of the famed Phogat sisters that captivated the Indian subcontinent after their wrestling success in the Commonwealth Games. ‘The Indian Tigress’ trained under the tutelage of her father, Mahavir Singh Phogat, and her athletic exploits with her sisters ultimately became the inspiration for the hit movie Dangal, which was released in 2016.
An intimidating wrestler, Phogat went on a tear at the start of her ONE Championship journey, going 4-0 in her first four fights and 7-1 in her first eight.
ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong and Angela Lee, among others to congratulate Ritu Phogat
A ton of good wishes went the way of Ritu Phogat and her husband, and it was certainly a celebration not just for them but also for their friends at ONE Championship.
ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong, ONE women’s atomweight world champion Angela Lee, and many others shared their joy with the couple.
“Congratulations Ritu! may you always be blessed with love and happiness!” wrote Sityodtong in the comments section of Phogat’s post.
“Beautiful! Congratulations Ritu 🍾❤️,” commented Lee.
Former two-division world champion Aung La N Sang, Jarred Brooks, and even Phogat’s last opponent, Tiffany Teo, gave their congratulations on the wedding.
