Background


Rani hails from Rithal Phogat village in the Rohtak district of Haryana. Her father was a Border Security Force officer who died of cancer in 2010.[4] The Rani had initially started playing kabaddi, but her coach advised her to switch to boxing. Inspired by Indian boxer MC Mary Kom's bronze-winning performance at the 2012 London Summer Olympics, Rani made a shift to boxing.[6][4]


Sports


Rani won a silver medal at the Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament 2019, Bulgaria in 48 kg category after losing finals against Josie Gabuco of Philippines.[7] She also won a silver medal at the 2019 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships after losing Light flyweight final to Russia's Ekaterina Paltceva.[8]

In 2019 Rani signed up with sports management firm Infinity Optimal Solutions (IOS) which will handle her endorsements and commercial interests.[9] In November 2020, Rani served a notice of termination of contract on IOS Sports and Entertainment for not fulfilling the sponsorship deal.[10]
