Boxer Mary Kom to return to 48kg category

Assam,Sports,Other Sports, Fri, 09 Dec 2016 IANS

Guwahati, Dec 9 (IANS) Five-time World Champion boxer M.C. Mary Kom asserted on Friday that she aims to return to the 48 kg weight category amid speculation that it could be included in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

The star boxer from Manipur had won all her world titles in women's 48kg division but had moved up to the women's 51kg category in order to compete at the Olympics.

She had taken a bronze in her new weight class at the 2012 London Olympics but went empty handed at the Rio Olympics earlier this year.

But with the International Boxing Federation (AIBA) reportedly thinking about including the 48kg division in the Tokyo Games, Mary is hoping to win an Olympic medal of a better hue.

"Yes, I am planning to go back to the 48kg weight category. I am back as this is my real and original weight (category) in which I am fit to," Mary told IANS on Friday.

The 33-year-old asserted that she is looking forward to recapturing her old form in the 48kg category and is aiming for glory at the Tokyo Olympics.

"I will see. I am still very much fit and will be in the camp very soon," she said.
