Ex-Indian boxer hopes Vijender to remain 'unstoppable'

Expressing his views on Vijender Singh's fifth straight professional win, coach Dharmendra Singh Yadav on Sunday admitted the Indian boxing superstar has gained a lot of experience as well as confidence after his recent wins.

The 30-year-old boxer remained unbeaten as he hammered his French opponent Matiouze Royer in a six-round super middleweight contest at the Copper Box Arena to seal his fifth consecutive pro win.

Dharmendra believes Vijender has totally got into the pro style and would now work even harder in order to remain unstoppable.

"I hope he remains unstoppable. Vijender has totally got into the pro style now. He has gained experience as well as confidence after winning five pro bouts in a row. As he moves forward, there will be tougher bouts and he has to work harder for them. So it won't be easy for him, but he is confident to win the upcoming bouts," Dharmendra told ANI here.

"Vijender has medal in Olympics and he has not achieved that only with his technical skills. He possesses power as well. Vijender has the power and he will try to improve on that. I am sure he will win the upcoming fights as well," the former Indian boxer added.

The middleweight ace will return to action on May 13 in Bolton against a yet-to-be-named opponent before heading to India in June.
