Vijender Does India Proud
World number one Vijender Singh (75kg) has added another feather to his cap! He’s just beat England’s Frank Buglioni 13-3, and bagged his first international gold medal in two years (the last one was at the Chemistry Cup in Germany in 2008). Twenty-four-year-old Vijender Singh was also titled ‘Best Boxer of the Tournament’.
Indians won the overall title as well, at the fifth Commonwealth Boxing Championships today. The other champions at the stage are Asian champion Suranjoy Singh (52kg), South Asian Games gold medalist Amandeep Singh (49kg), Asian silver medalist Jai Bhagwan (60kg) and Paramjeet Samota (+91kg).
