New Delhi, September 10: He has ensured India’s maiden World Boxing Championship medal but Vijender Singh today said the job is only half done and he would not settle for a bronze this time.
Talking to PTI ahead of his semifinal bout tomorrow, the middle weight (75kg) world number two said this time he is confident of bagging a medal whose colour is different from that he won at Beijing Olympics.
“The job is only half done because I am not going to settle for a bronze medal this time,” the top seed, who takes on Uzbekistan’s Abbos Atoev in the semifinals tomorrow after a rest day today, said from Milan.
The 23-year-old, who was awarded the Khel Ratna last month, said he is confident of a win tomorrow as he had beaten Atoev just a couple of months ago in the Asian Championships.
