A professional boxer and IBF light-welterweight champion Amir Khan, who recently presented his own belt to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif has challenged Indian Boxer Vijender Singh and said that he is a little boy for him.
According to local media report, talking about a possible match with Vijender Singh, Amir said that a professional bout between a Pakistani and Indian boxer would be something everyone would love to watch. He hinted that it will be possible only after January next year as he is recovering from a hand operation.
Amir Khan said, “See, it is always amazing to see Pakistan versus India in cricket, everyone follows it. Imagine a Pakistan versus India in boxing. It will be something everybody would love. I am in talks at the moment with a couple of people, there is a boxer in India called Vijender Singh and there is a lot of talk about him and me fighting one day. It will be a great match. I had a hand operation, I had to fix my hand, I will be back in the ring in January and In May I will go for the title”.
He further said, “I think, I am couple of level above Vijender, I am a better fighter, I am more experienced and I am world champion while he is not at the world level yet and he called me for a fight to be fought which I thought was a little disrespectful, but it is okay, as boxing is a business and sometimes people want to fancy their chances.”
Earlier Vijender Singh was looking forward to have a one-on-one battle with Amir Khan. Khan earlier took to twitter, warned and congratulated him on his victory and said that to beware as he articulated his desire to face the Champion.
