It’s 10-0 For Indian Superstar Vijender Singh

New Delhi: Vijender Singh continued his unbeaten run after he defeated African champion Ernest Amuzu. The Indian boxer defended his both WBO Oriental and Asia Pacific Super middleweight titles in the pro circuit.

With this victory, Vijender has now won 10 pro bouts on the trot.

The 32-year-old Olympic bronze medallist has so far enjoyed a great run in the professional career, winning all his nine fights, and tonight was no different at a jam-packed Sawai Mansingh Stadium as he emerged as the king of ‘Rumble Rajasthan’.

It was very cautious first round from both, and barring a few jabs here and there, both tried to read each other’s styles.

Vijender seemed to have found his bearing only when the sixth round started.

He landed some real hard punches on Amuzu’s rib-cage to take control of the bout. Amuzu returned the favour with a few of his own, but the West African Boxing Union Middleweight champion could not sustain the tempo against his determined Indian opponent.

A confident Vijender then turned up with renewed vigour to unleash a flurry of punches on Amuzu. Two powerful jabs on Amuzu’s jawline must have hurt the African, but he retaliated with a hook aiming at Vijender’s head.

It was easy picking for Vijender thereafter as the Amuzu committed technical blunders by rushing to the corners.
