Description

Mary Kom: A Boxing Champion's Journey Discover the inspiring story of Mary Kom, one of the world's greatest boxers. Born in a village in north-east India, Mary grew up with limited resources and no toys to play with. Instead, she found entertainment in playing sports and running outside. When she discovered boxing, she knew it was her sport. Despite initial doubts from some, including her father, who thought boxing was just for boys, Mary persevered and proved herself as a talented boxer. She went on to win six world championships and became known as 'Magnificent Mary'. Her achievements extended beyond the ring, as she opened a boxing academy, became a member of parliament, and campaigned for animal welfare. This book features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Mary Kom's life.
