Boxer Vijender targets Alvarez fight

Indian

boxer Vijender Singh said he’s hoping for a world title fight with Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez at Madison Square Garden after signing a new deal with the legendary US promoter Bob Arum.

The 33-year-old Singh, a bronze medallist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has an unbeaten 10-0 record since he turned pro in 2015, but failed to get a single fight this year.

He has now turned to Arum’s Top Rank Promotions, where he will get a chance to train with leading coaches. (AFP)
