NEW DELHI: In a bold move after Jake Paul’s dominant victory over Mike Tyson, Indian boxing sensation Vijender Singh has issued a brutal challenge to Floyd Mayweather.
The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, who has become one of India’s most recognized boxing figures, took to social media with a playful tweet: “Let’s have a fight with Floyd Mayweather in INDIA.”

Vijender’s tweet comes after a night of mixed reactions from fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision in a highly anticipated but disappointing fight.
Tyson, 58, wrestled the entire eight-round match, landing just 18 punches out of 97 thrown. Paul, 27, used his superior speed and movement to dominate Tyson, who was clearly showing his age.
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Fight Highlights
Despite the hype leading up to the fight, Paul failed to deliver the knockout he had promised, but nevertheless emerged victorious with scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 on the judges’ cards.
Vijender, who is making waves both in India and internationally, could have been inspired by the spectacle of Tyson’s return to the ring.

Known for his sharp boxing technique and undefeated streak in his first twelve professional bouts, Vijender turned professional in 2015 after a stellar amateur career, including his Olympic bronze. He quickly claimed the WBO Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title and remains a key figure in Indian boxing.
Meanwhile, Mayweather, considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, has an unblemished record of 50-0, with wins over the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez.
