Why I took up boxing.

I was into athletics first, but the boxing coach spotted me and asked me to give it a try. In the first year I won the state championship and that8217;s how boxing took off.

My favourite boxing champion.

Mohammed Ali

One thing that I want to change about boxing.

The attitude of Indian boxers towards boxing8230;we don8217;t go all out when we fight.

One way it has changed my life.

Now I am financially stable; also from being a simple girl, we have reached a stage where women8217;s boxing in India is equated to Marykom.
