Mary Kom has no intention to retie anytime soon

Thoughts of retirement, even at 35, are like a pack of lies for champion boxer MC Mary Kom, who says she is far from relinquishing the queendom she has carved out for herself in all these years.

The Olympic bronze medallist, five-time world champion and newly-crowned Commonwealth Games champion today swiftly put to rest speculations around possible retirement, which gained credence after she added the CWG gold to her glowing list of achievements.

The 35-year-old boxer said, "I have never talked about retirement, they were just rumours. Even I was shocked when I heard about my retirement, Mary Kom told reporters in the Capital as India's boxing team returned from the Gold Coast with three gold, three silver and three bronze medals.

She has won almost everything but not winning one Olympic gold rankles.

"An Olympic gold is what I am still dreaming. That remains an unfulfilled dream."
"This (age issue) should be taken out of the mind. I will know when my body will not allow me to carry on."
