Vijender Singh calls for fight with Floyd Mayweather in India after Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight | Boxing news

NEW DELHI: In a bold move after Jake Paul’s dominant win over Mike Tyson, Indian boxing sensation Vijender Singh has issued a cheeky challenge to Floyd Mayweather.
The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, who has become one of India’s most recognized boxing figures, took to social media with a playful tweet: “Let’s fight Floyd Mayweather in INDIA.”

Vijender’s tweet comes after a night of mixed reactions from fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated but underwhelming fight.
The 58-year-old Tyson fought through the entire eight-round contest, landing just 18 punches from 97 thrown. Paul, 27, used his superior speed and movement to dominate Tyson, who clearly showed his age.
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Fight Highlights
Despite the hype leading up to the fight, Paul failed to deliver the knockout blow he had promised, but nonetheless won by scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 on the judges’ cards.
Vijender, who has been making waves both in India and internationally, could have been inspired by the spectacle of Tyson’s return to the ring.

Known for his sharp boxing technique and unbeaten streak in his first 12 professional fights, Vijender turned professional in 2015 after a stellar amateur career, including his Olympic bronze. He quickly claimed WBO Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title and remains a key figure in Indian boxing.
Meanwhile, Mayweather, considered to be one of the greatest boxers of all time, has an unblemished 50-0 record with wins over the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez.
