The celebrated MC Mary Kom yesterday became the most successful pugilist in the Women's World Championships history by assuring herself a seventh medal, while three more Indians reached the semi-finals to be assured of their maiden medals here. Mary Kom defeated China's Wu Yu 5-0 in the light flyweight (48kg) category quarter-finals to enter the last-four stage and be assured of at least a bronze.
