Kumar believes Mary Kom is a “class athlete” and said she should follow rules. He suggests that the two boxers should get to play.
Earlier, BFI cancelled trials in Mary Kom’s category for the World Boxing Championships which led to a bigger controversy.
Giving the example of badminton, the 36-year-old and six-time world champion Kom said, “Other games don’t have trials. Have Saina Nehwal and P.V. SIndhu ever given trials? Sometimes it feels very strange to keep giving these trials.”
