NEW DELHI: Vijender Singh's management team IOS Boxing Promotions have been forced to find a new fighter for a planned April 1 title bout after the Indian star's scheduled opponent - China's Zulpikar Maimaitiali - on Friday informed them he would prefer a later date.
The Vijender-Zulpikar super middleweight contest was to be a double Asian title fight. The Indian's WBO Asia-Pacific belt and the Chinese boxer's WBO Oriental title were to be on the line in a winner-takes-all bout.
