MC Mary Kom, India’s famed boxer, may be on the mend, but the ace athlete has made it clear that she has no plans to “retire” and would make a comeback.
The six-time boxing world champion had surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and is now preparing to return to the ring as soon as she is fully recovered.
“I don’t want to retire at all, because of the age limit I’ve been not able to play. I want to make a comeback, I have got that guts. So many people love and support me. Why I shouldn’t make a comeback, I will make a comeback,” star boxer MC Mary Kom told reporters as she launched the PUMA Race Day Tee here on Friday.
“At least before retirement, I want to do something for the country again. According to the schedule, I will plan and think that which competition I should play. I want to compete in a major competition,” she added.
Mary Kom, the London Olympics bronze medalist, announced that she has begun training and would soon employ some novel tactics to return to the boxing ring.
“I have started my rehab and strength training, and I’m seeing progress in myself. I’ll do some special training when I recover fully. I’ll do my best to make a comeback,” Mary Kom said.
Meanwhile, enthusiasm and expectation for the world’s famous 17th Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon is rapidly increasing, with the much-loved running event celebrating the various hues of the capital city on October 16.
