Liverpool: Indian boxing sensation Vijender Singh blew away Hungary’s Alexander Horvath at the Liverpool Echo Arena to claim his fourth successive professional victory. Vijender Singh continued his red-hot winning streak by stopping Horvath in the third round with a big body shot.
“I’m thrilled to get my fourth professional victory and excited for what the future holds for me. I’m happy to get another knockout win and really want to push on from here with some big performances is 2016. I was better prepared for my fight this time because this fight was postponed for almost a month. I dedicate this win to the martyrs of Indian Armed Forces during Jammu & Pathankot Attacks” said Vijender Singh.
Talking about his opponent Vijender said “I have proved my hard work in the ring, I know in professional boxing your opponents always engage you in war of words and they give you a lot of challenges as Horvath did, but my punches replied to him. I am happy my professional career is progressing in a positive manner and all hard work I am doing with my trainers is giving positive results”
He added: “The support I have received from everyone here in Liverpool and back home in India has been absolutely phenomenal. My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing with messages of support from all around the world and I’m so grateful to all of my new fans. You can expect some big performances from me this year as I look to move up the ranks. Now immediate target will be my next fight to be played in Harrow on 2 April.”
Commenting on the fourth win in a row, Vijender’s trainer Lee Beard said “Vijender was in control of the fight from really early and enjoyed himself him there. He took his time because he wanted to get some rounds under his belt, we’ve also been working on getting his feet and distance right to try and get himself into a position to land meaningful shots. He’s also been practicing his defence and blocking punches to let him work on the inside, which he did tonight against Horvath. I’m very pleased with the job he’s done, but there is still much more to come.”
