Six-time world boxing champion and Olympic bronze medalist, Mary Kom, has swiftly shut down speculations about her imminent retirement. Following media reports stating otherwise, the iconic pugilist took to clarifying her remarks, emphasizing her ongoing dedication to the sport.
“I haven’t announced retirement yet,” Mary asserted, addressing the misinterpretations surrounding her recent comments. “Whenever I decide to hang up my gloves, I will personally inform everyone through the media.”
The clarification stems from Mary’s speech at a Dibrugarh school event on Wednesday. Motivating the young audience, she expressed her unwavering passion for achieving more in boxing, despite the age restrictions hindering her Olympic aspirations.
“I still have a hunger for success in sports,” she stated. “While the age limit prevents me from competing in the Olympics, I continue to focus on my fitness and training. Retirement will be announced by me, and only me, when the time comes.”
Mary Kom’s emphatic denial quells the premature retirement whispers and reiterates her unwavering commitment to her boxing career. The fighter’s insatiable thirst for victory promises to keep her in the ring for the foreseeable future, inspiring generations of athletes to come.
