The 2012 Olympic bronze medallist failed to qualify for the Rio Games, and her quiet year saw her slip down the rankings by 26 places. While she wanted to hang up her gloves after Rio, Kom has now said that she will continue to box and possibly participate in one more Olympics. She has also taken up a mentorship role by training and guiding kids at her Mary Kom-SAI Boxing Academy.
Fast Fact: The International Boxing Association (AIBA) is set to honour Kom with a 'Legends Award'.
