One of the best female amateur boxers in the world, Olympic Bronze medalist Mary Kom has a new job; as the Super Fight League Brand Ambassador.
Kom, whose footwork and handwork wowed fans in London this summer, will serve as a mentor to the fighters in the SFL; both male and females. Kom has also recommended several fighters to join the SFL ranks.
The SFL is hoping for more females will start to train in combat sports like wrestling and boxing, and that those who are already training might try their hand in MMA.
