Boxing: Mary Kom wins gold medal at President's Cup in Indonesia, decimates Australia April Franks 5-0

New Delhi, July 28: Six-time world champion MC Mary Kom clinched a gold medal without breaking a sweat in a lop-sided 51kg bout final in the 23rd President's Cup in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia on Sunday.

Asserting her supremacy, the Olympic bronze medallist pugilist decimated Australian April Franks 5-0.

Fresh from winning the gold at the India Open two months ago, Indian boxing queen Mary participated in this prestigious tournament with the aim of testing herself and getting some much-needed bouts under the belt ahead of the World Championships in October.

Mary was made to sweat it out by Vietnam's Anh vo Thi Kim with the Indian eventually registering a 3-2 win in the semi-finals.

The 36-year-old Indian had also won a gold medal at the India Open boxing tournament in May, but skipped the Asian Championships as part of a larger plan to enhance her chances of Olympic qualification. The Asian Championship was held in Thailand in May.
