Fatima Zahra Wins Historic Commonwealth Games Boxing Medal

22-year-old Fatima Zahra became the first Pakistani female boxer to win a Commonwealth Games medal, securing bronze in the 60kg event.

Zahra credited Indian boxing icon MC Mary Kom as her primary inspiration, citing the 2014 Bollywood biopic about Kom's life as a key motivator during her training.

The athlete overcame significant family opposition and financial hardship in Sargodha to achieve this milestone, hoping her success encourages more Pakistani girls to pursue sports.
