Nikhat Zareen had last year demanded a fair Olympic selection trial and asked the national federation (BFI) to telecast her fight against MaryKom live.
The 37-year-old stated that it was hard to spot any fellow female boxer when she had taken her initial steps in her sporting journey.
Mary had earlier said in an interactive session hosted by the BFI how she became aware of the importance of working out smartly.
The pugilist is trying to keep herself fit for the Olympics which will now take place from July 23 to August 9, 2021.
