Games India : Vijender Singh inks multi-crore deal
After bringing laurels to the country in the Beijing Olympics and the World Boxing Championships, Indian boxer Vijender Singh has now inked a million-dollar sponsorship deal with the Percept Sports Management Co.
Vijender, the world number two, is the first boxer to have inked such kind of deal.
Top seed Vijender out-punched Ukrainian Sergiy Derevyanchenko 12-4 to become the first Indian to make the last-four stage of the prestigious World Championships.
Vijender is now up against former light heavy weight world champion Abbos Atoev, who returned to middle weight this year, but the Indian can draw confidence from the fact that he beat the Uzbek as recently as the Asian Championships in China.
