New Delhi: Bow to the Devil said the audiovisual clip seconds before India's boxing hero Vijender Singh made his grand entry from the tunnel at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex in Delhi on Saturday. And in the end, Vijender sure took a bow for a fine show in the ring against Kerry Hope en route to clinch the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight title belt with a unanimous 98-92, 98-92, 100-90 (3-0) judges' decision after a grueling 10-rounder.
