Mary Kom takes the top position in the list. Mary Kom is an Indian boxer, hailing from Manipur. She has had a great career and brought laurels to the country on countless occasions.

She has been claimed as the best ever women boxer by many. Pundits across the world and her performances at the world events like the World Championships and the Olympics certainly back that claim too.

World Championships:- Mary Kom has an impressive haul when it comes to winning medals at the World Championships. She has won a total of 6 Medals, which include an astonishing 5 gold medals and 1 silver medal.

This rich haul of 5 gold medals and 1 silver medal puts Mary Kom at the top of the all-time list in women's boxing, when it comes to winning the most number of medals at the World Championships.

Olympics:- She has 1 Olympic medal to her name. She became the first Indian female boxer to win a medal at the Olympics when she won a bronze medal in the 51kg category at the London 2012 Olympics and till date, she remains the one and only Indian female boxer to qualify for the Olympics, let alone win an Olympic medal.

With a total of 7 medals, which include 5 golds, 1 silver, and 1 bronze, Mary Kom, without any doubt, is a source of inspiration for any sportsperson not only in India, but also around the world. She is a true great of the game and her amazing performances in the ring for such a long time, makes her take the top spot in the list.
