TIL Desk Sports/ After registering his 11th consecutive victory in professional boxing by outsmarting American Mike Snider in New Jersey recently, Vijender Singh on Thursday said that Pakistan-origin British pugilist Amir Khan has been playing with ‘kids’ so far. Amir had raised questions over Vijender’s abilities and skills when the Indian boxer started his proffessional career.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event where he was felicitated for his recent win in the US, Vijender said: “I am always ready, you should ask him (Amir). He has been playing with ‘kids’ all these time. He was supposed to fight Neeraj Goyat, but our boxer got injured.
Neeraj is junior to us. After that, he fought with some Australian boxer and won. As I said earlier, I maintain my stand that I’am any day ready to take him on… I just want to know when he will be ready.” Both Amir and Vijender compete in different weight categories. The Indian pugilist’s weight category is higher than Amir’s.
