After record 6th world title, Mary Kom determined to win Olympic gold

TIL Desk Sports/ Having created history by claiming a record sixth title at the women’s World Championships, legendary boxer M.C Mary Kom is determined to fulfil a life long dream by winning a gold at the 2020 Olympics. “It has been my dream to win gold at Olympics ever since I started boxing. I have overcome many challenges in my life to become a world champion.

I have already won gold medals at Asian Games, Commonwealth and multiple other medals in other world championships but now my vision is set at winning the gold medal at Olympics,” Mary Kom told. There has been speculation that boxing may not feature at the 202 Tokyo Games since he International Olympic Committe (IOC) is reportedly unhappy with the way the spot is being run by the International Boxing Association (AIBA).

Mary however, brushed aside such concerns. “For the last two years, we have received immense support from BSI, SAI and the ministry. We have full faith in them and are sure that all the three bodies clubbed with AIBA will make the right decision for boxing,” the Manipuri icon asserted.
