Boxing career
Mary Kom, or MC Mary Kom, began her boxing career in 2000. In the following year she took part in the first world championships in the USA and surprisingly reached the final, where she lost to Julia Sahin and the silver medal (-48 kg) won. But already in 2002 she was able to secure her first gold medal (-45 kg) at the World Championships in Turkey , after defeating Svetlana Miroschnitschenko and Jang Song-ae, among others.
She won her first Asian Championships in India in 2003 (-46 kg) and in 2005 in the Republic of China (-46 kg). In addition, she won her second gold medal (-46 kg) at the World Cup in Russia in 2005 with a final victory against Jong Ok. In 2006 she won her third gold medal (-46 kg) at the World Cup in India. She had beaten Jong Ok again in the semifinals and Steluta Duta in the final.
At the 2008 Asian Championships in India she was defeated this time in the final against Jong Ok and won silver (-46 kg), but returned the favor at the 2008 World Championships in China with a semi-final victory against Jong Ok and again defeated Steluta in the final (-46 kg) Duta.
At the 2010 Asian Championships in Kazakhstan , she again defeated Jong Ok (-46 kg) in the final and also started in the first women's competitions of the 2010 Asian Games in China. Due to the limited weight classes, she had to start in the unfamiliar class -51 kg and was eliminated in the semifinals against Ren Cancan with a bronze medal. At the 2010 World Cup in Barbados she was unbeaten again and secured her fifth gold medal (-48 kg) with wins against Natalie Lungo, Jenny Smith, Lynsey Holdaway, Alice Aparri and Steluta Duta.
In 2011 she won the first Asian Cup for women in China (-48 kg) and in 2012 started in the -51 kg class at the Asian Championships in Mongolia , where this time she beat Ren Cancan in the final. At the 2012 World Cup in China, however, she lost to Nicola Adams in the quarterfinals (-51 kg) 11:13 and remained for the first time at a World Cup without winning a medal. However, with this placement she had already qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games in London , where women's boxing was held for the first time. In London she defeated Karolina Michalczuk and Maroua Rahali before losing again to Nicola Adams in the semi-finals and winning a bronze medal (-51 kg).
After winning the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea (-51 kg) and not taking part in the 2014 World Cup and the 2015 Asian Cup, she only started again at the 2016 World Cup in Kazakhstan. There she was surprisingly defeated in the second preliminary round against Azize Nimani, which meant that she was denied an appearance at the 2016 Olympic Games .
In 2017 Kom again won the Asian Championships in Vietnam (-48 kg) and started at the 2018 World Championships in India. There she reached first place (-48 kg) against Aigerim Kasenajewa, Wu Yu, Kim Hyang-mi and Anna Okhota and thus won her sixth gold medal, which made her the most successful female boxer in sports history. She also won the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2018 (-48 kg) in Australia .
At the 2019 World Championships in Russia, she won a bronze medal in the -51 kg weight class after being eliminated in the semifinals against Buse Naz Çakıroğlu .
