Earlier, an incident of theft had reportedly occurred at the residence of Indian boxer and Olympic bronze medalist Mary Kom in Faridabad, Haryana, on September 24.

On Saturday, India’s Olympic medal-winning boxer Mary Kom spoke about the theft that happened at her Faridabad house and stated that she has informed the police.

While peaking  on the theft reported at her residence in Faridabad, Kom said, “I am not at home. I will know exactly when I reach home. CCTV footage shows them (thieves) taking away the TV and other things. I was told by my neighbours that this happened on September 24. This happened at my Faridabad home… I have informed the police.”

Mary is the first female boxer in boxing history to have captured six world titles. The five-time Asian champion was the first female boxer from India to take home a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games.

After winning the 2012 Olympic medal, Mary took a break to care for her third child. She marked her return but sealed her place at the summit in the 2018 World Championships, which was held in Delhi. She dominated with a 5-0 win over Ukraine’s Hanna Okhota for her sixth world title. A year later, she went on to clinch her eighth world medal, the most by any male or female boxer. (ANI)
