Mary Kom defeated Ukraine’s Hanna Okhota 5-0 to win her sixth World Championships gold. The previous record of the most number of gold medals in Women’s World Boxing Championships was held jointly by the Olympic bronze medallist and Ireland’s Katie Tylor, who had each won five gold medals.

This gold medal ensures Mary is now equal with Cuban legend Felix Savon, who too has six gold medals to his name.
The living legend showed no mercy towards her opponent who came a tad short despite her spirited performance. Later in the day, Sonia Chahal lost to Germany’s Ornella Gabriele Wahner to settle for a silver medal in the 57kg category.
The Twitteratis heaped praise on Mary Kom’s aggression and the gutsy performance of Sonia despite it being her debut major tournament.
MAGNIFICENT MARY!
CONGRATS to @MangteC for the GOLD in Women's World Boxing Championships in 48 kg category!
With this, she hs become the FIRST EVER female boxer to win 6 World Championships!

When was the last time we heard of any serving Member of Parliament inspiring like this in the Sports arena. I am not talking about retired stars becoming MP. And not just in India, but across the globe. Would be interesting to know. https://t.co/9Al9EICuQc
