New Delhi: After seven wins in eight bouts, star boxer Vijender Singh on Monday said he was aiming for another impressive show when he faces WBO Oriental super middleweight champion Zulpikar Maimaitiali of China in Mumbai on Saturday.
“Just pray for me. I will try my 100 per cent for another knock-out. I will try to finish the bout as early as possible,” Vijender said here.
“But you never know with the Chinese. Chinese products are not known to last long,” the Beijing Olympics bronze medallist said in jest.
While Vijender is the current WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight champion, Zulpikar is the WBO Oriental Super Middleweight champion and whoever wins on Saturday will claim the twin titles.
Nine years younger to Vijender, the Chinese no.1 boxer has age on his side and he made his intentions clear when he said that he was training 10 hours a day to upset the Indian.
Asked about the age factor, Vijender said it will be experience which will matter in the professional circuit.
“I don’t think age matters because it’s all about experience. I still feel like 20 although I have crossed 30,” Vijender said.
“I don’t know much about Zulpikar. I searched his profile in wikipedia but didn’t get any significant results. I saw his fight on TV just once but now I
have asked my trainer to take that responsibility and train me accordingly.”
