After winning his last bout with a knockout, Vijender Singh is set to face the toughest of his tests so far as he squares off against Poland’s Andrzej Soldra in a week at Bolton. The showdown on May 13 will be Vijender’s last before his highly anticipated WBO Asia Title fight to be held in Delhi.<\/p>\n
Vijender’s professional career so far has been a dream run with an unblemished record as he has slayed opponents in the ring with aplomb – all five of them have been knockouts and in just 14 rounds. Facing a tougher opponent than the previous ones in the last, Vijender took longer than usual but had his way against Matiouze Royer of France with a technical knockout in the fifth round.<\/p>\n
This time, he will be facing an opponent who has 11 more fights under his belt than him and an equal number of knockouts. Soldra comes in with a respectable record of 12 wins and 5 knockouts in his 16 fights. The Polish also has a great record in the amateur circuit with 82 wins off 98 fights.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the upcoming fight, Vijender said, “I have seen videos of Soldra he is a good opponent but I am preparing very hard to give him a tough time in the ring. He’s very experienced though and with 16 fights and 81 rounds he’s got the advantage over me in that department but I will stop him.”<\/p>\n
“I know this fight is very crucial for me and I need to continue my unbeaten record and it’s important that I put on a commanding performance against Soldra to keep on course for my title shot and my homecoming. I am really excited to finish off my sixth fight on a winning note and then compete for Asia title in front of my home crowd,” said Vijender according to media reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
