Vijender Singh Quotations

I have never thought of a full-fledged career in Bollywood because boxing has never left my mind. But you never know.

Achievements are precious and timeless, just like the precious metal platinum. And what better way to celebrate milestones in your life than with precious platinum.

I've grown up with Bollywood, and I continue to enjoy it. But boxing remains my passion.

I train for around 3-4 hours everyday. It can go up to 6-7 hours when a competition is approaching.

I do a lot of yoga and meditation. It calms my nerves and helps me channelise my energy.

I know my Beijing medal has been a watershed moment in the history of Indian boxing , but personally speaking, I would like to better it in London.

I knew very little or nothing about the Olympics. Having qualified was itself a big achievement for me, and then being there was quite overwhelming. Although I lost in the opening round, but the fact that I fought well was enough for me to take away from Athens.

I want to compete in the next Olympics. If I go to Rio, it will be my third time, which is a rare feat for an Indian athlete. For me, Olympics is important because it's the biggest event on earth for a sports person. I hope this time around I come back with a medal.

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.

Scrutiny has never scared me because I have had detractors all my life.
