New Delhi: Indian boxing star Vijender Singh knocked out Tanzania's Francis Cheka to successfully defend his WBO Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title in New Delhi on Saturday.

Vijender landed the winning blow in the third round of what was to be a 10-round contest to leave on the former World Champion Cheka dazed and a packed Thyagraj Stadium delirious.

"I trained hard in Manchester for two months for this. I thank all my coaches for the effort they put in. Cheka talked so much but I believed in my punch power, and I have done it," Vijender said after the bout.

Here’s how Twitter reacted after the champion’s victory.
