Asia title is no big deal for me: Vijender Singh

TIL Desk Sports/ It is the the biggest fight of his emergent professional career, but Indian boxing star Vijender Singh today said the WBO Asia title contest against Kerry Hope is no huge deal for him and he is taking it as just another stepping stone in the circuit.

The 30-year-old dasher, who is unbeaten in the professional arena, has won all his bouts via konckouts. Eyeing a seventh knockout in what is meant to be a 10-round contest, Vijender said his approach to the contest is no different from the one he had for his previous bouts.

“I won all my six bouts, the seventh is coming up one year into the circuit. So I am a pro now, I am feeling like a pro now,” Vijender said ahead of the Saturday night showdown, which will feature seven undercard bouts apart from the main event.
