The 35 year old Indian boxer MC Mary Kom gears up for the sixth Women’s World Championship. Though she was not able to participate in the Asian Games due to a shoulder problem, she is expected to be back in action at the World Championships to be held in New Delhi in November. She is eyeing to win the championship crown for which she is been training hard.
Mary said, “One thing I am certain of is that if I don't get any injury and give 100 per cent in my training then I definitely I can say that I am going to win the World Championship. If something in between happens then I can't say. But I am healing well”.
She added, “I am training smartly for the World Championship. Six-seven years ago we would train for two-three hours but now it is not required. We are able to do everything in an hour of training. Staying fit is very important for a comeback so I would say one should be clever with the training”.
Speaking on the performance by young women boxes in CWG games, she said, “The girls are training well, working hard. I want them to perform well at the Asian Games and get medals. The federation is taking initiative to see what is better for the boxers”
On her come back, Mary said, “Winning for my country keeps me going. I don't ask myself if I can (perform) I ask why can't I?”
