Ghana’s Ernest Amuzu and India’s Vijender Singh have made their weight ahead of Saturday’s (December 23rd) blockbuster at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
At Friday’s weigh-in, Amuzu tipped the scales at 75.4kg, while Singh came in at 76kg.
On the said day, Singh will be defending his WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight belts against the hard-hitting Ghanaian.
Here is what the two boxers said ahead of the fight:
Vijender Singh
“After having rigorous training sessions for almost more than two months, I am fully prepared physically and mentally to defend my titles and want to end my year on a winning note in front of my own countrymen. No doubt Ernest is an experienced opponent, he will give me a few new tests, he has done more rounds than me and fought in title fights, but will that compete with the power that I have and when I start landing my shots I don’t believe he will be standing around too long, I am really excited for this fight.
“After getting lot of support during last three fights in Delhi and Mumbai, I am eagerly waiting for this double title defence wherein I am expecting a lot of support and cheer from the fans of the Pink City of Jaipur. I am sure fans will turnout in large numbers at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on 23rd December 2017 to cheer and motivate me” added Vijender Singh.”
Ernest Amuzu
“I am looking forward to the double title defence in India. Nine before me have tried and failed to beat Vijender so now I will finally end his hope of defending his two titles. Everyone who has gone into the ring with him seem like they are a rabbit in headlights. I have seen nothing from Vijender Singh that worries me or causes any sleepless nights, so I am fully confident going into the fight and ready to knock him out. I hope that his chin is ready for the punches that I will be landing on them because for once he will be put under a real test by me”.
