Mary Kom firstly was very afraid to show her interest in boxing openly and to hide the same she tried her level best to hide her boxing fascination from her family and relatives. After some days, her father found out about this secret adventure of Mary Kom from a newspaper article. But, the family didn’t oppose her interest in boxing.

Her career as a boxer got its gear when she won the Best Boxer title at the State Level Invitation women’s boxing championship in Manipur from there, till the Olympics her career passed through many achievements and accolades, which were not much celebrated though.
However, she was awarded the prestigious Arjuna Award and later Padmashree by the Indian government. Today she along with Saina Nehwal, APJ Abdul Kalam, and M.S.
