New Delhi: Indian Olympian and five time world boxing champion, M C Mary Kom has been impressing everyone with her bouts in the ring since her debut in international boxing arena.
Mary is very tough against her rivals but beneath a tough exterior, lies a soft heart, which once tackled high tension drama from her parents.
Mary Kom admitted that she had to fight for her love Onler in her autobiography.
Mary in her autobiography revealed: “I was in Delhi during a training session in 2000 when Onler and a friend of his came to see me. He was then the president of the Kom-Rem Students' Union in Delhi and was pursuing a degree in Law. He was responsible for the welfare of Kom students in Delhi, one of the most popular destinations for students from the Northeast. Onler had been entrusted with the charge of looking me up and informing me about the union and its activities.”
She added, “I was quite surprised to hear that I had a visitor, because I didn't know anybody in Delhi. We shook hands and spoke a little. He was much older than me, and I thought of him almost as a concerned, older brother. Before he left, he told me that I must get in touch with him if I needed any help.”
Then she called him as a gesture before leaving for Manipur. She asked him if he needs anything from back home he asked her home cooked food and dry fish. It was then that the friendship between the two blossomed.
They got closer to one another and on the other hand women boxing was becoming more popular.
