Boxing is my only love: Vijender

September 17, 2008

Gudduorrahul asked, congrats u have done a great job for India.
Vijender Kumar, Thank you so much for your wishes.

Hey asked, how was the support provided to you by the staff, i am asking this question India does not spend money in developing the skills of sportsperson?
Vijender Kumar, Our boxing federation (IABF) has helped us a lot and gave us whatever we wanted while preparing for the Olympics. Without their help I dont think this would have been possible and I thank them.

Kishlay asked, Thanks Vijender, a very good answer. But I feel in the long run Boxing can hamper the health ,just like Mohammad Ali, so pls take care that you maintain your health as well. No doubt you are a motivation for Indians and now an emblem for killer skills.
Vijender Kumar, Thank you for your wishes. Dont worry I will take care of my health and fitness. Now the boxers wear headguards and teeth guards which Mohammad Ali never used. So there is a lot more safety now to the sport.

  • Kailash asked, Hi vijender, when are you fixing date with Bipasha? Vijender Kumar, I am very busy now. I don't have time for any dates with anyone.

    Girish C asked, Thanks for you reply Vijender. How much do you train in a week and what sort of activities does your training consist of? Do Indian boxers go abroad often for training or just to participate in events? Are foreign coaches technically superior to the Indian counterparts?
    Vijender Kumar, Training depends on schedule and we do go abroad for training. We went to Germany before the Olympics for training. Training consists of weight training, but in boxing skill training, footwork and endurance is also necessary. I think Indian coaches are also as capable as the foreign coaches.
