Indian boxing superstar Vijender Singh is all set to take on Bulgarian Samet Hyuseinov in his third professional fight today at Manchester Arena.

The middleweight star from India has already won his first two fights, wiping off Sonny Whiting in three rounds in October (TKO) and then Dean Gillen inside one in November (KO). Bhiwani man is now ready to take on challenge from Samet Hyuseinov.

"I have seen Samet's record, it's not impressive. Out of 14 fights, he has won seven. I don't think it will be going to affect me. I have prepared hard this time and tried my new techniques. During three weeks of my training more focus was on sparring with some of my best fellow boxers. I am ready and confident of giving Samet a tough time in the ring," said Vijender.

"He speaks a lot in the media about me, but all I can say is I am excited to go in the ring tomorrow and it will be an interesting fight this time for all the fans. I will show him what I can do in the ring. Fans will enjoy and watch another knockout," he added.

"I am taking my professional career step by step. Fighting every month is good for me and it is helping me in getting more focused. I am settled now and use of the local conditions. Every day is a new learning for me and this learning process is really painful. I am excited to have my fight in India next year. I am sure that fight will be a huge boost for Indian boxing," he further said.
