Mother Mary wins historic sixth World Championships title

NEW DELHI: India’s M C Mary Kom Saturday won a historic sixth gold in the Women’s World Championships, the mother-of-three doing, without breaking a sweat, what no other woman boxer has done or known before.

The 35-year-old Mary Kom out-classed Ukraine’s Hanna Okhota in an unanimous 5-0 verdict in the 48kg category summit bout.

The Olympic bronze medallist came into the all-important bout optimistic of adding to her five world championships titles, and, without an iota of doubt, she walked the talk against Okhota.

The feisty Manipuri now has an incredible six gold and one silver in the World Championships. The last time she won the top prize in the showpiece was in 2010, in Bridgetown, Barbados. (AGENCIES)
