The Vijender Singh juggernaut rolled on without a glitch as the Indian boxing star took less than 10 minutes to successfully defend his WBO Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title with an emphatic Technical Knockout win over Tanzania’s Francis Cheka here today.

Vijender landed the winning blow in the third round of what was to be a 10-round contest to leave on the former World Champion Cheka dazed and a packed Thyagraj Stadium delirious.

“I trained hard in Manchester for two months for this. I thank all my coaches for the effort they put in. Cheka talked so much, but I did not believe in verbal power, I believed in my punch power,” Vijender said after the bout.

Vijender dedicated the win to the army.

Here’s how his fans and well-wishers reacted to a mighty impressive win.
