Tal Singh hopes to become the first Sikh world champion
After his amateur career led him tal Singh has pledged to become the first Sikh world champion.
Singh exceeded his early expectations since he triumphed at level an historic achievement for a Sikh boxer.
He readily acknowledges that boxing isnt a popular game in his community, but hopes widespread participation will be inspired by his name success.
It is enormous, Singh told Sky Sports. Not just to me personally, but to my family, and to essentially the Sikh community, particularly being the first Singh ever, with the long hair and beard, to perform this.
I was very stunned to be honest, to see in this era, theres still people becoming the first of X,Y and Z.
Ahead of his professional debut, Singh has been training at David Hayes fitness center in Vauxhall along with Derek Chisora as the heavyweight prepares to face David Price on October 26, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
The former strength and conditioning trainer Ruben Tabares of haye has been helping Singh, who has received aid from magician Dynamo and rapper Tinie Tempah.
Its amazing, said Singh. Youve got no choice except to get better and improve, particularly being about the people that I am around, theyre all winners and successful, like Dynamo and Tinie.
If youve got a buddy circle like this, you cant be a let-down, you have to rise to the event.
He is not calledWar Chisora for no reason, also at the gym watching his sparring sessionshes as volatile as it gets.
Singh expects to firstly target the light-flyweight division, even though his ambitions dont stop there, because he seeks to become a pioneering champion from the paid positions.
I wish to develop into a multi-weight world champion, thats the greatest objective. I want to set the bar so high that other Sikh fighters, also Asians generally, I need them to be more inspired.
Ive got the very best team , and I feel I definitely will achieve it. My entire life revolves around this and it will be a lifetime goal
