Mary Kom made a successful return to 51 kg category


Six-time world champion Mary Kom made a successful return to 51 kg
category by overwhelming her opponent Mala Rai of Nepal to reach the
semifinals and be assured of a medal as Indians continued to dominate
the India Open boxing tournament in Guwahati on Tuesday. The London
Olympic bronze medalist took little time in her 5-0 win.
"It's also a learning experience for me. The Nepal opponent was
experienced and quite strong. It's glad to be back in India. We all are
trying our best to make the country proud," Mary Kom, who made her
competitive debut at home in 51kg, said.
The celebrated Manipuri boxer had opted out of the Asian
Championships last month in order to prepare for the World
Championships. Mary will be up against fellow Indian and Asian
Championships bronze medallist Nikhat Zareen.
Strandja Cup gold medallist Nikhat was equally impressive with a flurry
of punches against compatriot Anamika in her 5-0 victory
"I was nervous last time but this time I'm well prepared and hope to give
my best," Nikhat said.
