Let Ernest do this trash talk, but i am working hard doing 10 rounds of sparring daily with different boxers”.
“My trainers Lee Beard and John Joyce are in India and we have watched videos of Ernest, my previous opponent was SouthPaw and now Ernest is Orthodox so i have worked alot on changing my technique according to this opponent. My coaches have worked out strategies against him in the ring.
I am almost prepared for this fight. I know Ernest is experienced than me in professional boxing with 25 fights and 23 wins but my amateur experience always helps me when i face opponents in the pro boxing ring. I think he should not take me lightly in the ring, i will knock him out in the early rounds
. This will be my last fight of 2017 and i would like to end my year on a winning note that too with a knockout win” added Vijender Singh.
