Six-time world champion Mary Kom will make her comeback to boxing at next month's Boxam International Tournament in Castellon, Spain. This is the first time that the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist would be competing in an event since qualifying for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics at the the Asian qualifiers, held in March last year.

Mary Kom, who will compete in the 51kg category, is one of 14 Indian boxers who will be competing in the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from March 1 to 7, the Boxing Federation of India said in a statement. The list includes Commonwealth Games silver medallist Manish Kaushik (63kg), who recently recovered from a knee injury. He also booked a place at the 2021 Olympics during the Asian qualifiers last year.
