Mary Kom, the face of boxing in India, says her defeat at the Olympics was manipulated and cheating.
She took to Twitter to question why she was asked to change her ring dress "just a minute before her pre-quarters" bout against Colombia's Ingrit Valencia on Thursday.
MC Mary Kom's bid for a second Olympic medal ended in a heartbreak on Thursday after she lost a close fight against Colombian Ingrit Valencia in the women's flyweight pre-quarterfinals at Tokyo 2020.
Upon her return to India on Saturday, Kom said, "I feel bad coming back with nothing. Wanted to return with a medal. I got support from the nation".
Mary Kom, after losing the pre-quarters bout, said that she had defeated the Colombian in the past and couldn't believe that the decision went in favour of the Rio bornze medallist.
