Vijender Singh records an unbeaten streak of 12-0

This was Vijender's second win in 2019 and 12th professional fight overall. Since turning professional in 2015, Vijender has now an unbeaten streak of 12-0 and the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super middleweight titles. Charles, who had won 33 of his 47 professional fights went professional in 2001 and had fought against the world’s top boxers in Ghana, UK, Canada, South Africa, Denmark, Latvia and more. While he entered the ring with a lot more experience, the 42-year old looked a pale shadow of himself.

Adamu came into this fight with an experience of 47 bouts, of which he had won 33 (26 knockouts). The Ghanian is also an Olympian and won a bronze medal for his country in the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur during his amateur days. But Adamu's wealth of experience didn't seem enough against an opponent, who was quicker and more powerful. "I tried my best. I had made strategies after watching his videos but he was quite tough. I never expected him to be this good. I wish him the best for his coming bouts," Adamu said. Vijender, who is promoted by Hall of Famer Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions in the USA and IOS Boxing in India, is hoping to fight for a world title next year.
