New Delhi: Boxing star Vijender Singh will be back in action for the first time in over a year, his promoters announced on Monday.
“While the promoters finalise on the opponent, date, and venue, Vijender Singh will certainly be in action this March with an aim to extend his unbeaten streak 12-0 (8 Knockout wins) in professional boxing,” his promoters IOS Boxing Promotions said in a statement.
“A group of young and talented boxers will also go head-to-head as undercards for the fight.”
Vijender, the reigning WBO Oriental and WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight champion defeated Ghana’s former Commonwealth Champion Charles Adamu in Dubai to claim his 12th successive win in November 2019. He has not competed ever since.
This will be Vijender’s fifth fight in India, following successes in New Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur.
IOS Promotions’ Neerav Tomar said, “The COVID-19 pandemic gave us ample time to invest our thoughts on doing something different this time and increasing the level of professional boxing in India.
“We hope all the fans watching or present at the venue will thoroughly enjoy the event.”
