Indian Boxer Vijender Singh beats Bulgaria’s Samet Hyuseinov in Manchester on Saturday Dec 19,2015

 

Star Indian Boxer Vijender Singh continued his remarkably dominant run in the professional circuit, notching up a third successive knockout triumph by thrashing Bulgaria’s Samet Hyuseinov in less than two rounds in Manchester on Saturday Dec 19,2015

Barely 35 seconds into the second round of what was to be his maiden six-round contest, Vijender cornered Hyuseinov with a flurry of combination punches to force the referee into stopping the bout and give the Indian a win via Technical Knockout.

The former Olympic and World Championships bronze-medallist thus continues to remain unbeaten since making his debut in October, all three of his wins being knockouts in under three rounds.

“I practice a lot when I am sparring so that helps me finish it off early in actual contest,” Vijender said after the bout.

Vijender Singh had beaten Sonny Whiting and Dean Gillen in his previous two bouts, both of which were to be four-round contests but lasted barely over two round

Vijender Singh,the middleweight (75 kg) boxer from Haryana hardly faced any opposition from his stocky opponent, as he clinched victory just after the start of the second round. Vijender thus continued his superb start to his professional career, winning all his three fights so far.

Vijender Singh had registered a TKO win over English boxer Sony Whiting on his debut before knocking out another British pugilist Dean Gillen in the opening round of his second fight.

But while Vijender Singh's first two fights were four-round affairs involving fellow newcomers to the professional circuit, Sarurday’s match against the more experienced Samet was a six-round contest.

Samet Hyuseinov,the 29-year-old Bulgarian, who now has 15 fights under his belt, suffered the eighth defeat of his career. He had won seven of his first 14 fights.
