She has just become the first Indian woman boxer to clinch an Olympic medal.
And now, MC Mary Kom looks set to take her association with the combat sport a step further.
Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra is in talks with Mary for his mixed martial arts reality show, Super Fight League Challengers (SFL).
The show is Kundra’s venture with actor Sanjay Dutt and airs on Neo Sports and Zoom.
Raj, it seems, wants Mary to join as a mentor to the female contestants on the show. “Raj wants to rope in Mary because she has emerged as an icon for students of combat sports, especially women,” says an insider.
When contacted, Raj confirms, “We’ve reached out to Mary Kom. We’re in talks with her agents and have invited her on to the show. We’re trying to work out a long-term association with Mary.” He adds, “It would be great (to have her onboard) because Mary is an inspiration to all the fighters being trained for our show.”
After winning a bronze in the just-concluded London Olympic Games, Mary arrived to a rousing welcome in Delhi on Wednesday.
According to Raj, India’s feat at the Olympics has also helped the SFL. “A lot of people are showing interest in it now,” he says, adding that the biggest problem he had so far was in getting sponsors.
