Unbeaten Vijender ready to take on Horvath in fourth professional bout

Indian superstar Vijender Singh is moving fast towards his first professional title shot this summer and must next dispose of dangerous Hungarian Alexander Horvath at the Liverpool Echo Arena on March 12 to stay on track.

The red-hot middleweight ace, who won Bronze at the 2008 Olympic Games, is undefeated in three fights with three knockouts in only six rounds of action since his pro debut last October and aims to take out Horvath in quick time.

Vijender will have no time to rest as he has another big fight lined up just three weeks' later at the Harrow Sports Centre, London, as he builds towards his ground-breaking title opportunity in India.

The 30-year-old, from Bhiwani, is an icon in his homeland and his summer hero's return will be a national homecoming event and he says there is no way that rival Horvath will upset that from happening.

"It's my absolute dream to fight back home in India in front of my countrymen and women so I won't let Horvath get in my way of that at all," Stated Vijender Singh.

"I need to continue my unbeaten record and it's important that I put on a commanding performance against Horvath and then next at Harrow to keep on course for my title shot and my homecoming,"

"Hovath is a good solid opponent for, maybe he will give me a few new tests, he has done more rounds than me and has a bit more experience, but will that compete with the power that I have and when I start landing my shots I don't believe that he'll be standing around for too long."

"I'm really excited as this is my first fight of the year and there are big plans ahead so I aim to make a very big statement of intent in Liverpool against Horvath that will show that I'm ready to fight for a title later this year."

Horvath, from Torokszentmiklos, comes into the fight against Singh with a record of five wins from seven fights. The 20-year-old has the edge in experience over Singh with 31 rounds under his belt and has no fear fighting abroad taking bouts in Slovakia and France.
