Vijender Singh will make history at the Thaygraj Stadium in New Delhi because it is for the first time in his pro-career the star Indian pugilist will feature in a professional fight in India.

His opponent Kerry Hope is a former World No. 3 but Vijender Singh isn’t intimidated by his reputation.

Vijender Singh has been unstoppable ever since he plunged into pro-boxing over a year back. He has knocked out his opponents six times in a row and is storming towards his WBO Asia Pacific Super middleweight title. A win on Saturday will guarantee him the belt.

Australia’s Kerry Hope, who is a former WBC middleweight champion and a world No. 3, accepted the offer from Vijender’s promoters, and the Indian was on for his biggest date in professional boxing.
