Six-time world champion boxer MC Mary Kom has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and will require a reconstructive surgery, scans revealed on Saturday. The veteran Indian boxer's bid to compete at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games ended in a heartbreak here on Friday as she was forced to withdraw midway from the selection trials due to a knee injury.
Her treating doctor has suggested a reconstruction surgery as it's a "complete tear of ACL".
For now, the Olympic bronze medallist has been advised "ice application and knee support" and has also been prescribed medication, including pain killer.
The 39-year-old legend twisted her left knee in the first few minutes in the opening round of the 48kg semifinals against Haryana's Nitu.
