London, Oct 15: Pumped up for his second bout after a TKO professional debut, Vijender Singh said Thursday he is all set to deliver another explosive performance in his London debut, October 30 at the Harrow Leisure Centre. Vijju, as he is popularly known, won his first pro fight against Sonny Whiting in Manchester.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting in London as a professional for the first time and I can’t wait to meet my fans and give them some action,” stated Vijender. “Winning last Saturday was a very big moment for me. I had my whole country watching me on TV. I dedicate this win to them.”
Vijender said he has lots of support from fans in both India and the UK. “I’ve been overwhelmed with messages from fans congratulating me on the win…London is probably the most ‘happening’ place in the world, there is a big buzz and magnetism in the city with sport and entertainment, history and culture, so I can’t wait to bring more excitement when I fight there,” said the pugilist.
Vijender will feature on an action packed card headlined by hard-hitting WBO European Champion Jamie Cox who makes the first defence of his title.
