After Narinder Batra suggested that the standards of CWG aren't high and that India should pull-out to improve its own quality, various Indian athletes including Vijender Singh and Jaspal Rana, have voiced their criticism.
Indian boxer Vijender Singh recently hinted that Amir Khan wasn't prepared to fight against him, and that he is instead taking on his junior boxers like Neeraj Goyat.
Amir has expressed a desire to lock horns with Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender a number of times but the bout has not materialised yet.
In what was to be an eight-round super middleweight contest on Saturday night (early Sunday morning in India), the 33-year-old from Haryana prevailed in four rounds for his 11th consecutive victory in the circuit.
Amir Khan has expressed a desire to lock horns with Olympic bronze medallist Vijender a number of times but the bout has not materialised as yet.
Vijender is so far unbeaten in his 10-bout pro career and claimed the WBO Asia Pacific super welterweight title during his stint with England.
Roach feels India's first Olympic medallist in boxing has what it takes to be a world champion in the highly competitive US circuit.
Star boxer Vijender Singh, who is employed with Haryana Police, is also donating a month's salary.
Vijender has won the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental super middleweight titles so far will be training with Freddie Roach, a long-time coach of Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao.
The 33-year-old boxer turned pro wrestler in 2015 following an extensive amateur career that made him a mainstream celebrity in India.
The 32-year-old, who is now fourth in the latest WBO rankings for the super middleweight category, was to fight for the Commonwealth title on July 13 against Lee Makhram which got cancelled.
The fight was scheduled for July 13 and would have given Vijender a shot at his third title after having claimed the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight titles.
The fight will be Vijender's first in six months since he successfully defended his twin titles in the clash against Ghana's Ernest Amuzu in Jaipur.
The most recent chapter of Mary Kom's extraordinary life journey was becoming a Rajya Sabha MP in 2016 and winning her fifth Asian Championships gold medal a year later.
He refuted the charge that the African was not a worthy opponent considering his low ranking.
The 32-year-old Olympic bronze medallist has so far enjoyed a great run in the professional career, winning all his nine fights, and tonight was no different at a jam-packed Sawai Mansingh Stadium as he emerged as the king of ‘Rumble Rajasthan’.
Vijender also spoke about being challenged by British star Amir Khan despite the fact that the two boxers are in altogether different weight categories.
In his last three title fights held in India, Vijender has won all three with two knockout wins and one unanimously.
The British boxing trainer said although Amuzu has a good record in pro boxing but the strategy to beat him has already been planned with the ace Indian boxer.
With an aim to make it 10-0 in the Pro boxing ring, Vijender is training hard and warned his rival to not take him lightly.
