New Delhi: Legendary India boxer Mary Kom beat Ukraine’s Hanna Okhota in the final to win the gold medal in the 48Kg category at the Women’s World Boxing Championship in New Delhi on Saturday.
Mary thumped Okhota by unanimous verdict to win the title for an unprecedented sixth time. Cheered on by the partisan fans in the capital, Mary blew away her Ukrainian counterpart in three rounds to take the crown.
Mary now takes the top spot in the list of most World Championship title victories. Before this, Mary was tied with Ireland’s Katie Taylor with five titles each. But now, Mary is in the league of her own with six gold medals – 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018.
