Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

Today we are hearing about a female boxer from India and learning the word fulfil.

M.C. Mary Kom is a wife, a mother and also a world champion in boxing.

Mary comes from Manipur in India and is one of her country's top athletes.

Let's hear from BBC reporter Emma Jane Kirby who has been to meet Mary ahead of this year's Olympics.

Listen for how many times Mary has won the World Women's boxing competition and listen for the word fulfil.

Clip

By anyone's standards Mary Kom is a winner, 5 times world women's boxing champion, she is now focused on the London Olympics. She hopes that winning a medal will not only raise her own profile but will also put her rather forgotten state of Manipur firmly on the Indian map. It's very difficult but I have to fulfil my dreams.
