India's MC Mary Kom won a historic sixth gold in the World Championships here on Saturday, the mother-of-three doing, without breaking a sweat, what no other woman boxer has done or known before. Moments after Mary Kom became the most successful boxer in the history of women's world championships by beating Ukraine's Hanna Okhota in an unanimous 5-0 verdict in the 48kg category summit bout, young Sonia Chahal settled for a silver medal after losing her final.

The feisty Manipuri now has an incredible six gold and one silver in the showpiece, the last yellow metal coming in 2010 at Bridgetown. The results read 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, 30-27, 30-27 in favour of Mary Kom who had beaten the opponent in a tournament in Poland this year.
