Unconquered since making his debut in the pro ranks, celebrated Indian boxer Vijender Singh is looking to compete for his third title in April and hopes to go for his maiden world title by the end of this year.
Vijender, who won a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, said he is targeting the Commonwealth title.
"We are planning the next bout for April-May but we have not decided anything right now. I am going for the Commonwealth title this season, so it will take time. It's not easy, I just have to go in there and win it. We are planning to have it in the UK," said Vijender.
The popular Indian boxer, who is the current WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight Champion and WBO Oriental Super Middleweight Champion, said he would like to add a world title to his list of career achievements.
"I have got two (belts) now, and I'll be going for a third one. Hopefully, at the end of this year we will go for a world title. My world ranking is six or seven right now, so I can challenge for a title even if I'm not the number 1 ranked fighter. But I need one more fight before the world title," he said.
The 32-year-old Haryana boxer said he is more comfortable competing in India for obvious reasons.
"It's very easy, very comfortable. I am the boss, I can do anything, if I want to fight in March I can do that or fight in December if I want to. I am the superstar. But in the amateur boxing, we have to schedule according to the world body's calendar. In the pro ranks, there is no schedule," Vijender said.
The tall and dashing boxer said he was not following the progress of other Indian boxers that much but he is sure they are "doing good right now."
