    As an Indian I assure you that this is definitely not the case. No one gives 2 ****s about that guy.

    Mary Kom, Canelo and Tyson are the most admired boxers in India. To a lesser extent Fury because he, as a gypsy is somewhat Indian ethnically.

      So you're telling me he's the 2nd biggest active pro boxer in India like its a bad thing?

      To be fair I do think he's gonna need some Zou Shiming type run up to a title to have the influence I'm talking about, but I believe its doable. From my understanding pro boxing in India is barely a thing so it gots a long way to go & it is possible Vijender is already too old to have the upside for his country admittedly.

        Just my opinion but I really believe without Robinson boxing would have have had less science and looked more ugly.

            Pro-boxing is a thing in India.

            It’s just people know Vijender isn’t exactly a superstar and so people have less respect for him than they have for some foreign fighters.

              Its a FACT its barely a thing. Idk wtf you are even going back n forth with me if you don't know that.

              There's over a billion people in India & France, 66M population, had over 250 boxing events last year. India had 14.

                Jack Dempsey ushered in $million gates and spectacle. July 4th, 1919, the Centennial Celebration of the worst beating ever witnessed when he took the title from Big Jess Willard who KTFO out of JJOHNSON!!!
