Mary Kom clinches Gold in President’s Cup

July 29, 2019

Six-time world champion MC Mary Kom defeated Australia’s April Franks 5-0 without breaking a sweat in the 23rd President’s Cup to clinch the gold medal in the 51kg category final in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia yesterday.

The 36-year-old Indian had also won a gold medal at the India Open Boxing Tournament in May, but skipped the Asian Championships as part of a larger plan to enhance her chances of Olympic qualification.

Mary Kom, who claimed her sixth world title last year in Delhi, will be looking to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the World Championships to be held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, from Sept.7 to 21.
