It looks like there is no stopping for Indian boxer Vijendra Singh. He registered his sixth straight win in the professional arena by outpunching Andrzej Soldra of Poland by technical knockout in three brutal rounds in a Super Middleweight contest at the Macron Stadium here on Friday evening.
Vijender was in full form as he started the bout with attacking Andrzej and not letting him to hit a single punch.
He will now contest for the World Boxing Organisation’s (WBO) Asia title in front of his home crowd in New Delhi on June 11, for which he has reportedly invited Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
“I am thrilled to get my sixth professional victory and excited for my homecoming title fight. Soldra was a good opponent but my punches replied to him. I think this fight was a horror show for him. I am happy that before my title fight, I am able to have six knockout wins,” Vijender said after the fight.
“By winning first eight round fight, my confidence level has really gone up and this is a step forward heading towards title fight.
“The support I have received from everyone here in Britain and back home in India has been absolutely phenomenal. Now I will start preparing for my title fight in India. I am happy I will fight in front of my home crowd soon,” he added.
“He is a true talent of professional boxing. I am happy with his performance so far and he will go long way. He is very hard working boxer,” said Vijender’s trainer Lee Beard.
