Founded by Olympian boxer M.C. Mary Kom, and her husband K. Onkholer Kom, the MKRBF, currently offers free world-class training, nutritional support, lodging, education, medical and competition-related expenses to over 87 talented underprivileged youth.

Through this partnership under the DSF Elite vertical - which aims to groom young talented athletes to compete nationally and internationally in different sports, complete  support will be given to select girls from underprivileged backgrounds aspiring to take up boxing as a competitive sport.

The support will include a year-round gold standard technical training, apparel, equipment, accommodation, tournament exposure, diet & nutrition, education & tuition among other extracurricular activities.

“We are grateful for Dream Sports Foundation to partner with us and help these young athletes during one of the most important stages in their lives. DSF has done some exceptional work through its young athlete development program, Stars of Tomorrow.”

“We are sure that this partnership  will support budding athletes in the field of boxing to achieve their true potential and realise their goals,” said Mary Kom.
