NEW DELHI: Indian boxing legend M C Mary Kom has expressed a desire to represent the country for one last time before the six-time world champion is forced to retire in November this year after attaining the upper age limit to compete in amateur events.
Mary Kom, a London Olympics bronze medallist, will turn 40 in November and won’t be eligible to compete thereafter in international championships, including the Paris Olympics in 2024. She has been targeting the Hangzhou Asian Games in September-October 2023 as her swansong. For that, she is eyeing a comeback to the national set-up in April. Her last international appearance was at the Tokyo Olympics.
