India's Boxing Sensation Vijender Singh is confident of his fourth knockout win on 12 March, when he takes on Hungarian Alexander Horvath during his fourth pro bout at Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Vijender's boxing workout and training routine is as intense as ever. The undefeated Indian boxer who is all set to take on slightly experienced Horvath later this week, is doing hard training for 10 hours a day to give tough time to his opponent.

His opponent Horvath has a decent record of winning 5 out of 7 fights.

Vijender who had his last fight in December 2015, will be making his first appearance in the ring for this year.

In his daily routine, Bhiwani boxer is following one of toughest training regimes which top professional boxers like Mayweather and Pacquiao have been following during the peak of their pro career.

The training includes shadow boxing, practicing footwork, practicing punching, movement, stance, speed and technique.

Commenting on his preparation ahead of next bout Vijender Singh said "The young Hungarian Alexander Horvath has an impressive record in his pro boxing career but I will leave no stone unturned. My target is to continue my winning streak in the fourth game and that's the reason I am going through the toughest training sessions of my career. My trainers Lee Beard and Hroon Headly are working really hard with me during each of the sessions and I am enjoying it".

"Due to the postponement of my fight for almost a month, I got enough time to better prepare myself and watch videos of my opponent. My strategy to knock him out is already in place and I am looking forward to see him on 12 March in the ring. I read in media reports that Horvath has made snake blood part of his diet but I don't care at all being about my opponents as Desi Ghee is part of my diet from the beginning of my career" added Vijender.
