Queen of the Indian boxing ring. The winner of five World Championships and an Olympic Bronze. Born to parents who were landless agricultural labor in the state of Manipur in northeast India, Mary's story is one of relentless struggle and unflagging passion for the sport of boxing. A childhood of hard labor prepared her body for the sport just as well as any fitness training might have. Her own will and aggression carried her through the minefield of politics that any sport in India is.
