New Delhi: Indian-origin British boxer Sanjeev Singh Sahota will trade punches with Haryana boxer Vikas Lohan in one of the five undercard fights during WBO Asia Pacific Middleweight Champio-nship, featuring Vijender Singh against Kerry Hope on July 16.
Sahota, a professional super lightweight boxer from UK, recently turned professional and has played two bouts winning one by knockout. Early this month, Sahota defeated British boxer Silvije Kebet in a four-round contest to register his second win.
“I am very excited to be a part of a historical event and I am ready to fight. I’ve been training extremely hard and it’s not just a fight, I am also representing all the British Asian and British community in India as I am the only one that I know of at the moment fighting from the UK,” Sahota said.
“I am honoured that my promoter has given me this great opportunity and I will give 150% of me. (PTI)
