TIL Desk Sports/ Following his 10th straight win on the pro circuit, Indian boxing’s poster boy Vijender Singh has set his eyes next on winning the Commonwealth and World Championship title.
The 32-year-old Vijender floored West African Boxing Union Middleweight champion Ernest Amuzu with an unanimous verdict to retain his WBO Oriental and Asia Pacific Super middleweight titles, in Jaipur on Saturday.
The Commonwealth Super Middleweight title is currently held by Great Britain’s Luke Blackledge, a very talented 27-year-old boxer with 23 wins, including eight knockouts, from 30 fights.
While Blackledge could prove to be his toughest opponent so far, for the time being India’s Olympic and World Championship bronze medallist was delighted to have signed off the year on a high.
“Happy to end this year on a winning note. Now I will look forward to play at least two titles next year — Commonwealth and World title. I would like to thank the people of Jaipur for making this show a big success and thanks to all my fans across India for their support,” Vijender said after his bout at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
