Agency
Rohtak: Five-time World Champion MC Mary Kom will be missing the Elite Women’s National Boxing Championship starting on Friday even as celebrated names like L Sarita Devi and Sarajubala Devi vie for top honours and berth in the Indian squad for this year’s Commonwealth and Asian Games. The reigning Asian Champion Mary Kom will be nursing a few niggles.
Over 300 top boxers will be stepping into the ring during the second edition with the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) indicating that the week-long tournament will be seen as selection trials for the CWG and the Asian Games.
