Star Indian boxer Vijender Singh
knocked out Dean Gillen of England in
the opening round to register his
second consecutive victory at the
professional level at the National
Stadium here on Saturday.
The bout turned out to be a total
mismatch as the Haryana pugilist
moved well in the ring, showcasing
some nice footwork and putting his
opponent under pressure right from
the start with powerful punches.
The Englishman was visibly struggling
to withstand Vijender’s blows and was
sent crashing to the canvas within the
first minute when the Indian caught
him on the jaw with a straight punch.
Vijender — who entered the ring to
loud drum beats, Punjabi music and
colourful dancing by a group of
bhangra dancers — continued his
brutal assault and even knocked over
the referee at one point when he
mistakenly caught the official with his
elbow.
