Don't do this, brother.

This isn't about us.

It's about women's boxing in India.

Of course! But it's also

about you and me, "brother".

- Dev please!

- Don't waste my time. Get out.

What do I have to do

to get Madhi to fight?

Dev, what must I do

so Madhi can fight?

What do you want

me to do Dev?

Resign!!

Let her fight.

Ad.!

Your ID.

Starting now, you will not

coach or box.

You'll steer clear

of the Association.

Enter the stadium today,

and I'll disqualify her.

Wow, man!

You've swallowed your pride,

arrogance, attitude..

..to lick my boots?

She must be smoking

hot in bed!

You're sick!

Should've asked me

to resign earlier.

You've wasted two

hours of training.

Make sure she fights.

Come, why are you sitting here?

Follow me.

- Come.. come on!

- Where's Master?

- Give me that paper!

- Where is my Master?

Where's my Master?

He's resigned and bolted.

Dev sir's your coach now.

Stop gawking. Get ready.

Please leave sir.

I sold fish, ate well, slept well.

A simple life, but I was happy.

You turned my world around.

Made me a champ.

And now, for the most

crucial match of my life..

..you desert me!

I'm sure you have a reason.

You've thought this through.

You're wise, I am the fool

ls this a new technique? Tell me.

Or my fault again?

What have I screwed up now?

Tell me!

- Go on, tell me!

- Madhi! Listen!

I resigned so that you could box.

Boxing is my life.

Don't make me regret it.

Go fight!

For me, for you,

and for women's boxing in India.

And fight like how

I know you can.

The rest can wait.

You've shut me up, as always.

I'll fight.

But Master, you gave up everything,

just for me.

If this isn't love,

what is?

If a few years ago, someone had said,

India will host the World Championship..

..and stand a chance of winning it,

I'd have laughed it off!

But today it's happening!!

Here's India's rookie boxer

E. Madhi, with coach Dev Khatri.

Facing three time World Champion,

Russia's Natalia Raiker.

The last time they fought..

..Natalia knocked out

Madhi in eight seconds flat.

Note Russia's master stroke.

Natalia made to lose weight

and fight in a lower category.

She's gotten here easily

knocking out top ranking boxers.

Women's World Boxing Championship..

..final bout in the

lightweight category.

In the Red corner,

E. Madhi representing India..

..and in the Blue corner,

Natalia Raiker representing Russia.

First round.

Box!

Never thought we'd quit

boxing together!

Me retired,

and your final round.

Point is she can win, but not

without you. That's frustrating.

Madhi's up on her feet again.

Natalia breaches

Madhi's defense.

This is no match

but a classic mismatch

- ..powerful punches from Natalia.

- Sir, go, please!

Another fantastic

upper cut and hook.

Madhi cowering

like a scared lamb.

Madhi's saved

by the bell!

Get closer. Her reach

is better than yours.

- Has my Master come?

- He won't.

With steady punches,

Natalia's leads by seven points.

Madhi's survived

the first round..

..but needs to deliver

scoring punches

(Speaks Russian)

She'll lose for sure.

Oh Lord, protect

my little girl.

Seconds out,

2nd round.

Box!

Natalia's raining

lightning punches.

Madhi's still struggling.

Another round like this

and we've had it.

A deadly hook

to the solar plexus..

..and a right hook

to Madhi's face.

Six!

Seven!

Eight!

Are you OK?

Box!

Stop!

Saved by the bell again.

End of second round.

Pain is visible on Madhi's face.

Can she go on?

Security, stand A!

Madhi!

- Has my Master come?

- Come.

Medical check's

in progress.

If she's declared unfit,

the match is over.

India waits with

bated breath.

Are you OK?

Madhi!

Madhi's back in the game!

Seconds out,

3rd round.

Box!

Fantastic right hook!

Genghis Khan knew

that the enemy's strength..

..lies in their weapons.

The enemy was a goner!

Weapons destroyed, he was helpless!

What's this?!

Madhi's hitting her arms.

There are no points in that!

Ridiculous! She keeps going

at her arms! No points there!

(Speaks Russian)

Natalia bags more points..

..with her straight punches

- Face! Face!

(Speaks Russian)

Stop! Stop!

Natalia's won five more points

in this round.

Why the arms?

Hit her face!

Go get her!

Seconds out,

4th Round.

Box!

Madhi, on her face!

In a huddle now,

both exhausted.

Oh no!

Madhi's lowered her guard

ls she throwing

in the towel?

Battered, weary, she seems

to have lost hope.

Very disappointing.

Knockout!!

The winner by a knockout..

..and the new world champion

in the lightweight category..

..is E. Madhi from India!

What a moment in history!

- My Madhi has won!!

- Unbelievable!

Madhi's given India

a fantastic victory!

A fishmonger from Chennai's slums

has achieved the impossible!

This is unprecedented!

Madhi's defeated a three

time World Champion by a knock-out..

..gifting India a gold medal

and the championship!

My goodness!

This is a historic moment! Amazing!

Forgive me!

You were right! Forgive me!

Like I always say,

separate politics from boxing..

..and champs will spring

from every street.

Today, my student's

done India proud!

Madhi! Madhi!

Madhi's won!

My student!

She's my student!

My Muhammad Ali!
