WBO Asia Pacific Title Bout: Vijender Singh to face Kerry Hope

Undefeated in what has been a fast-rising professional career, Indian boxing star Vijender Singh will take on Welsh-born Australian Kerry Hope in his maiden title bout for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific super middleweight belt in New Delhi today.The 30-year-old India, who has won all his six pro bouts after turning pro via knockouts, will be up against his most experienced and accomplished rival so far as Hope is a former WBCC European champion with 23-7 win-loss record.The fight night tomorrow will feature seven other undercard bouts, comprising boxers from the Indian Boxing Council's stable and two Thai invites. One of the seven fights will be a women's exhibition bout, featuring boxers from the celebrated MC Mary Kom's academy.Should he win tomorrow, Vijender would get a crack at the top-15 of WBO world rankings.
