His professional career off to a flying start with a knockout win, star Indian boxer Vijender Singh cannot wait for his second bout on October 30 and has promised to pump up the power in his punches by several folds in that contest.
“It’s just the beginning, wait and watch what else I do as I move forward. My next bout is on October 30, the opponent for that would be known this week or next week and I will continue to improve myself, hit harder and get better technically,” said Vijender from Manchester.
The strapping six-footer won via Technical Knockout after pummelling local favourite Sonny Whiting in a four-round contest, that could not be completed.
“I hardly ever get nervous but yes, I was very excited about the fact that so many people were watching me back in India and in Manchester too. I had to live up to lot of expectations but at the end of the day it’s about hitting and hitting hard, which I managed to do last night,” said the 29-year-old.
The bout was stopped in the third round after Vijender quite literally had his rival on the ropes. A flurry of jabs from the Indian had Whiting gasping for breath before the referee stepped in to end the misery for the Brit.
