“I believe that Vijender has the talent and dedication to become a world champion. He has a great amateur background, a style that will give any super middleweight in the world problems and power in both hands,” Roach said.
When asked about this new association, Promoter of the IOS Boxing Promotions Neerav Tomar said, “We hope together with Freddie, Vijender Singh will be able to script history and we at IOS are thrilled with this association.”
