Neeraj Goyat, Dilbag Singh in pro boxing action in Korea

Goyat, a WBC Asian welterweight winner, will take on Filipino Ronnel Esparas, a veteran of 30 pro bouts, while Singh, 2010 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist, will fight in the super lightweight against Indonesian Rocky Alap-Alap, who has fought 16 pro bouts.

“This will be my second pro bout and my first six-round bout and I am sure that I will win it. After my debut fight in Delhi, I was working really hard and especially worked on the endurance part as this will be my first longer version,” Singh said.

Goyat, who won the Asian title in a 12-round bout in Delhi earlier this year, is also confident of a good show. “For the last two years, I have been training to turn professional, so I am quite satisfied with my training for this bout,” said Goyat, who will be fighting his ninth pro bout on October 4.
