Kom became the first female pugilist to win six gold medals in the history of the World Boxing Championships in November 2018. She surpassed Irish Boxer Katie Tayor's record of five golds and a bronze in the competition. The Indian boxing legend scripted history at the World Boxing Championships after she won her record-equaling sixth gold medal at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi.

His 'hand-eye coordination', despite concentrating on sending the message, is unreal, to say the least. Along with the video, he posted a message which read.
