The first boxer to win the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, Olympic bronze medallist Vijender Singh is aiming to add another first to his name by clinching India's maiden medal at the September 1-12 World Championships in Milan.
"We have achieved a lot of firsts in Indian boxing in the past couple of years and form and fitness permitting, I would get our first medal in World Championships this time," Vijender told PTI.
The Haryana boxer revealed even though he is not a cricket buff as such, he admires Sachin Tendulkar for the way the batting great has carried himself both on and off the field.
"I don't watch cricket much but I admire Sachin Tendulkar. I like the way he has conducted himself over the years. He has been such a huge star for so long but has not had a single controversy against his name," said Vijender.
"He is somebody you can look upto," he added.
