An incident that left an impression on me was the 1999 sub-junior national boxing championship held in Calcutta. I had trained extremely hard to get there but got kicked out in the first round itself. 'If others can win, why can't you?' I repeatedly asked myself.
From Vijender Singh
When I walk for a designer, I walk the ramp as Vijender Singh, the boxer. I believe that by doing so, boxing will at least, in some way, get promoted in our entertainment industry. Plus, if cricketers can, why can't I?
I'm a big fan of the 'Rocky' series. Given the chance, I'd love to meet Sylvester Stallone. But apart from boxing, I'm an ardent fan of tennis and football.
When you're representing a sport, people are more likely to judge and comment as, unlike other fields, sport permits every viewer to participate to a certain level.
I've grown up with Bollywood, and I continue to enjoy it. But boxing remains my passion.
I have never thought of a full-fledged career in Bollywood because boxing has never left my mind. But you never know.
I do a lot of yoga and meditation. It calms my nerves and helps me channelise my energy.
I eat healthy and don't go by a diet chart. The breakfast is usually heavy, complemented with short frequent meals. My dinner is high on proteins and low on carbohydrates.
I train for around 3-4 hours everyday. It can go up to 6-7 hours when a competition is approaching.
I love going to the spa; it rejuvenates me and leaves me happy.
