NEW DELHI: Star Indian boxer Vijender Singh suffered his maiden defeat, in a 13-professional-bout career so far, when Russia's Artysh Lopsan defeated the 2008 Beijing Olympics medallist by technical knockout at the Majestic Pride Casino in Goa in March last year.
One of Indian boxing's biggest poster boys, who has an Olympic bronze medal to his name, is now geared up for this 14th professional bout and he doesn't want to carry the baggage of the maiden defeat of his pro career into his next bout. The Bhiwani star will face the reigning national West Africa Boxing Union champion Ghana's Eliasu Sulley on August 17 in Raipur.
