Goa is a place for good food and wine but not for India boxer Vijender Singh. Having checked in to Goa’s capital city here two days ago for his fight atop the Majestic Pride Casino ship on Friday against Russian Artysh Lopsan, the Indian hasn’t had a bite of food.
“When I checked my weight here on arrival it was 78.5 kg and I cannot be anything above 76.2 kg for this fight. I had to lose over two kilos in two days, so I’ve not been eating anything and only drinking water,” Vijender told mid-day at the official weigh-in on Wednesday.
