'We Will Win Medals, But I Don't Expect Gold': Mary Kom Backs India's Commonwealth Games Boxing Team, Questions BFI's Functioning · freepressjournal.in

Mary Kom, a famous boxer, is hopeful that India's boxing team will win medals at the Commonwealth Games but doesn't expect gold.

She supports the team and believes they will do well.

However, she is not happy with how the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) is working.

She says the BFI doesn't communicate well with past performers and has issues with how boxers are selected.

Mary Kom thinks she is unique and no one can match her achievements.

She believes today's young boxers lack the dedication to work hard after gaining fame.
