Ready to dedicate title to China for regional peace, says Boxer Vijender Singh

 “Want to dedicate this victory towards peace and harmony between India and China! Jai hind,” Vijender Singh took to Twitter on late Saturday night.

Singh, earlier in the day, maintained his unbeaten streak by defeating Maimaitiali. He won his second title and ninth consecutive pro bout as he beat his Chinese opponent on points by a unanimous decision. He, however, returned the title saying, “I don’t want this title, because I don’t want tension at the border (between India and China).”

Speaking about the much-awaited encounter, Vijender had earlier trolled his opponent and said that he would try to finish the bout as soon as possible as “Chinese products don’t last long”. Vijender, who has remained unbeaten since his debut in professional boxing, has also fought eight bouts, last one being against former world number one boxer Francis Cheka from Tanzania where he defended his title.
