34-year-old former Olympic bronze-medallist, Vijender Singh claimed his 12th successive win in the professional circuit by demolishing Ghana’s former Commonwealth champion Charles Adamu. With this win the Indian Boxing star ensured that his four-year unbeaten streak in the professional circuit remained intact. He already holds the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight belts. 

Singh prevailed unanimously in an eight-round super middleweight contest against Adamu who looked intimidated  and was thrown off-balance more than once. “It was a good fight, Charles Adamu is a good fighter but I was fully prepared to tackle his punches and landed my punches perfectly on him. It’s great to be here in Dubai and to get this win. It was really exciting,” Vijender said after the bout.

Adamu came into this fight with an experience of 47 bouts, of which he had won 33. The Ghanian is also an Olympian and won a bronze medal for his country in the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. “I tried my best. I had made strategies after watching his videos but he was quite tough. I never expected him to be this good. I wish him the best for his coming bouts,” Adamu said.

Vijender, who is promoted by Hall of Famer Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions in the USA and IOS Boxing in India, is hoping to fight for a world title next year.
