Look: Contender Vijender Singh meets Indian Prime Minister

Undefeated Singh demolished Alexander Horvath earlier this month to take his record to 4-0 with 4 knockouts and has returned home from a brief visit ahead of a busy forthcoming fight schedule.

Red-hot Singh will feature next on the big Copper Box Arena card on Saturday 30th April on the undercard of Billy Joe Saundersโ€™ WBO World Middleweight title defence against Max Bursak.

Then heโ€™s next up on the undercard of his stablemate Jack Catterallโ€™s WBO Intercontinental Super-Lightweight title defence on Friday 13th May in Bolton.

Whilst meeting Mr. Modi, Singh discussed his big Indian โ€˜homecomingโ€™ on Saturday 11th June in New Delhi and the present popularity of boxing in the country before presenting the premier with a pair of boxing gloves.

Singh said afterwards, “It was pleasure meeting the Prime Minister. I am happy that Modiji is following my pro bouts very closely and he discussed a lot with me about my previous bouts. I have invited him to my title bout scheduled in Delhi on 11 June and he assured me that he will attend it. He also discussed with me the present scenario of Indian boxing and asked me to send my inputs for the betterment of the sport in the country. He wished me goodluck for my next two bouts in the UK before coming back to India for title fight”.
