Vijender will be one of the rivals that I beat, I know his traits and I am preparing accordingly. I am puttingA�in 10 hoursA�every day into training to make sure Vijender is knocked out in the first 2-3 rounds itself. On 5thA�August, Vijender will actually face the toughest opponent in his pro boxing careera�?.

Zulpikar feels that the training he is undergoing should not be revealed to everyone, he believes inA�surprising his opponent,A�a�?My team has watched all his bouts.

Zulpikar confident of handing Vijender his first pro-boxing loss

As I said, the pressure should be on his side, as it will be too old for him to suffer and recover from a loss, what will be worse is losing from someone as young as me. He is considered the king of boxing in India, so he has started feeling like a king, its time I get him down onto the ground.a�?
