Five months after he won his maiden professional boxing title in New Delhis Thyagaraj Stadium, Vijender Singh will defend it at the same venue. Singhs promoters announced on Tuesday, that Singh will fight to keep his WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight belt -- that he had won by beating Australian Kerry Hope -- on December 17.The contest, against a yet to be determined opponent, will be Vijenders second professional fight in India.The 2008 Olympics bronze-medalist had fought his first six professional bouts in the UK. It had been a straightforward decision when he had decided to end his amateur career last year. India didnt really have a professional boxing ecosystem to speak of as compared to the UK.The professional setup in India remains non-existent. Vijender is the face of the sport in India and yet despite his turbocharged push in the pro ranks, he is still a relatively inexperienced prizefighter, having fought just seven times in all. Indeed, there is a case for him to continue to develop as a fighter. However, pro boxing is a business first and foremost, and as such the decision for Vijender to fight in India has reasonable financial logic.In the UK, Vijender Singh had to fight early in the evening on the undercard of more established boxers not just because he was relatively unknown in that market, but also in an attempt to make prime time telecast on Indian TV. Vijenders first six fights in the UK earned a reported Rs. 18 crore, according to Infinity Optimal Solutions (IOS) CEO and managing director Neerav Tomar, which manages the boxer. In contrast, Tomar had expected Vijenders maiden professional bout in India to generate an estimated 12 crore.It has to make economic sense to promote professional boxing shows anywhere. Seeing the success of our Delhi show, it made sense to have another show in the city, says Tomar.Tomar isnt worried that Vijender, who last fought in the UK, nearly half a year back will fall out of the public eye in the country where he continues to train at coach Lee Beards academy in Manchester. While Tomar believes that Vijender is already an established fighter in England, he adds, Right now we need him more in India to promote professional boxing. We need to make pro boxing big in India, he adds.Vijender will return to the UK, says Tomar, but on his own terms. We dont want to send him to the UK as an under card fighter. He is someone who is boxing ten-round contests and has a title belt. Whenever he goes back to the UK he will be the main event or co-main event, he says.Indeed, Vijender, will likely be boxing a lot more judiciously from now on. Theres nothing stopping Vijender from fighting eight-round contests (non title bouts), but it makes little sense for him. He doesnt need to do that anymore. Our target is to set up bigger bouts for him. We are looking for Vijender to hold three or four more belts next year. He wont just be boxing in India or the UK but around the world, says Tomar.
