Indian middleweight boxer Vijender Singh looks ahead to his second professional fight as he takes a tour of Britain's House of Commons on Wednesday (28th October). Singh is raising his profile in the build-up to his second fight as a professional, against Englishman Dean Gillen.

Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Vijender Singh:

(on his first fight as a professional, beating Sonny Whiting in three rounds in Manchester on October 10th)

"I've done so many things as an amateur, world championships, Olympic Games, other things, but it's a pro (professional) fight, right? Everyone is looking at me and saying 'Ok, how's it going to be? How's it going to be?'. Everything is going well and I got a technical knockout in the third round, so that's fine. I can say that. I enjoyed every moment, I enjoyed the environment and I just said, 'be in the ring, just win the fight'."

SOUNDBITE (English) Vijender Singh:

(on his confidence levels going into his second fight)

"Oh, pretty much confident right now. I'm in training, I'm working hard. My (second) fight is in Dublin now, that's on the 7th November, so that's going to be interesting. I've been there in Ireland and they are nice people, nice boxing leveL, I can say that and it's going to be amazing, nice."

SOUNDBITE (English) Vijender Singh:

(on boxing in India and the support he's getting from back home)

"Yeah, people like it, you know. Lots of people think India is all about cricket and cricket fans and cricket lovers, but like, other sports are getting high now, slowly, slowly. People love boxing, people love wrestling. It takes time to get sports in the limelight, so I'm just taking one step. It's a beginning, but it will take time to get to another level, it'll take time, yeah."
