New Delhi: Veteran Indian boxer MC Mary Kom’s bid to compete at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games ended in a heart-break here Friday. Mary Kom was forced to withdraw midway from the selection trials due to a knee injury. The six-time World Champion twisted her left knee in the first few minutes in the opening round of the 48kg semifinals against Haryana’s Nitu.

Mary Kom will thus miss the quadrennial event. She had become the first Indian woman boxer to claim a gold medal in the last edition in 2018.

“Six-time world champion Mary Kom has withdrawn from the ongoing Women’s Boxing Trials for the 2022 Commonwealth Games due to an injury she suffered Friday,” the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) said in a statement.

Mary Kom fell down in the very first round of the bout. The 39-year-old tried to keep going after receiving medical assistance but after a couple of punches, she  struggled to keep balance as she clutched her left knee and looked in a lot of pain. The Manipuri had to be carried out of the ring with Nitu being announced the winner via RSCI (Referee Stops Contest due to injury).

The London Olympics bronze medallist, whose left knee was heavily bandaged after the fall, was then taken to the hospital for scans.

The multiple-time Asian gold medallist had last competed in the Tokyo Olympics. However, she bowed out in the pre-quarterfinals.

Mary Kom, the most decorated Indian boxer, had decided to give the World Championships, that concluded last month, and the now-postponed Asian Games a miss to concentrate on the CWG, which is to be held in Birmingham next month.

Nitu, the two-time former youth World Champion, advanced to the final of the CWG trials in the minimum weight division at the Indira Gandhi International Stadium. The Haryana pugilist, who won the gold at the prestigious Stradja Memorial tournament earlier this year on debut, will now compete against Manju Rani for a CWG spot.

Nitu, who had represented India in 48kg in the world championships, is now primed to get a CWG spot in the category.

Nikhat, Lovlina on course for CWG berth

World Champion Nikhat Zareen and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain stayed on course for securing CWG spots. Both registered convincing win in their respective weight categories.

Nikhat (50kg) continued in her sublime form as she out-punched Anamika 7-0. On the other hand, Lovlina (70kg), who is coming off an underwhelming World Championship campaign, also notched a unanimous decision win over fellow Assamese boxer Ankushita Boro by an identical 7-0 margin.

The finals of the all four weight categories – 48kg, 50kg, 60kg and 70kg – will take place Saturday.
