Unbeaten Vijender Singh makes weight for Horvath clash

Undefeated Vijender looked in sensational shape weighing in at 11st 13lbs while Horvath came in at 11st 11lbs ahead of his UK debut.

Liverpool: Indian boxing sensation Vijender Singh hit the weight at Friday's weigh-in ahead of Saturday night's showdown with Alexander Horvath.

Undefeated Vijender looked in sensational shape weighing in at 11st 13lbs while Horvath came in at 11st 11lbs ahead of his UK debut.

Vijender, who has won all his three fights by knockout inside three rounds, is looking forward to his first appearance of the year at the Liverpool Echo Arena and is promising to put on another explosive performance for his fans.

"When I turned professional in England I hoped that I would one day fight in Liverpool. Now that time has come and I can't wait to get in the ring and show the people of Liverpool what I'm all about. I've trained hard for this fight and I'm going to put on an exciting show for everyone at the Echo Arena," said Vijender.

He added, "I ended last year in great style and now I'm looking to begin it in the same fashion by knocking out Horvath. This is an important year for me to continue developing and getting in ring experience but I'm also going to entertain fight fans."

Hungarian warrior Horvath, who has the edge in experience over Singh with 31 rounds under his belt, holds a record of 5-1-1 (1) and plans on spoiling the party when he makes his first appearance in England.

The tough super-middleweight has no fear fighting abroad having fought in Slovakia and France and promises to give Singh the toughest night of his career.
