India`s star professional boxer Vijender Singh is all set to return to the ring in August as he looks to re-start a winning streak, which was broken last March by Russian Ayrtsh Lopsan. Vijender will be facing an international boxer in Chhattisgarh’s capital city, Raipur, and has already begun training in Manchester.
A much younger Lopsan, then 26, ended the then 35-year-old Vijender’s 12-match winning run with a technical knockout in Round 5 of an eight-round contest atop the Majestic Pride Casino Ship in Panjim, and though that happened over a year back, the Indian is still hurting.
