Knockout king Vijender Singh’s maiden title defence is just a fortnight away and the champion is putting final touches to his training ahead of another mega show at home. The WBO Asia Pacific Super middleweight champion will be fighting Francis Cheka on 17 December at Thyagaraj Sports Complex in Delhi.
The 30-year old Haryana boy secured his maiden Asia Pacific title with a win against Australian Kerry Hope in July this year, and will be defending it for the first time since.
Vijender Singh, who has a record of seven out of seven wins with 6 KO’s, has been setting up the “perfect game plan” with his trainer Lee Beard.
Francis Cheka too is going through some grilling training sessions and following a regime of 40-round workout sessions, said reports. His trainer has put him on a routine to match up to Vijender’s punches.
Commenting on a recent statement that Francis Cheka made – regarding how he would teach the Haryana lad a boxing lesson – Vijender said:
Meanwhile, Singh’s trainer Lee Beard said: “I believe Vijender is going to perform very well on the night and produce another great display showing how smart he is as a fighter – and he will win in style.”
