Mary Kom Goes Public on 2023 Divorce, Alleges Financial Betrayal and Urges End to Slander

In a PTI interview, the boxing icon says she will not file a police complaint, with Onler Kom disputing her allegations.

Overview

  • Mary Kom says the marriage ended in 2023 after a pre-2022 Commonwealth Games injury left her bedridden and prompted a reassessment of her finances and trust.
  • She alleges her former spouse took loans, mortgaged and transferred properties in his name, and that land she bought in Churachandpur was seized by local groups recovering debts.
  • Onler Kom denies any wrongdoing, and the financial claims outlined in the interview have not been independently verified in the reporting reviewed.
  • Kom says a year of social-media attacks and tabloid coverage miscast her as greedy, prompting her to speak out and ask to be left alone.
  • The six-time world champion says she is rebuilding income through endorsements and IOA duties while caring for four children and dependent parents.
