Vijender Singh: Next boxing match in December

Most loved Indian boxer Vijender Singh during Ph.D. Annual Awards for Excellence 2017 revealed that his next professional bout is likely to take place on December 16.

“In amateur boxing, you have to go through certain levels there is the Sports Authority of India (SAI), government. In professional boxing my sponsors take care of it,” Vijender said.

“My next fight is on December 16 and it is going to be a big fight, the professional boxing has it’s own differences but otherwise it’s the same, I used to box earlier, I do the same now,” Vijender added.

The WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight and Oriental Super Middleweight Champion also said his fans respect him more as a boxer than an actor or model.

“As a fighter, you have to take hits from your opponents, that is part of your job. I have done other things like modeling and acting but I have seen my fans respect me more when I’m in the ring,” the Beijing Olympics bronze medallist said.
