Mary Kom’s struggling knee led her back at CWG trails.

The six-time world champion twisted her left knee in the first few minutes in the opening round of the 48kg semi-finals against Haryana's Ritu Ghanghas.

Veteran Indian boxer MC Mary Kom failed to compete at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games which ended in a heartbreak manner in Delhi on Friday as she was forced to withdraw in the midway from the selection trials due to her uncertain knee injury.

Mary Kom will thus miss the prestigious CWG event, where she had become the first Indian woman boxer to claim a gold medal in the last edition in 2018.

The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) revealed that "Six-time world champion Mary Kom has withdrawn from the ongoing Women's Boxing Trials for the 2022 Commonwealth Games due to an injury she suffered on Friday."
