Mumbai [India], Aug. 5 (ANI): Boxer Vijender Singh on Saturday defeated China's Zulpikar Maimaitiali in the unified WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight title, maintaining his unbeaten streak. However, he returned the title saying "I don't want this title because I don't want tension at the border (between India and China)" Singh beat Maimaitiali by unanimous decision to win his second title and also his nine consecutive bout. Speaking about the much-awaited encounter, Vijender had earlier trolled his opponent and said that he would try to finish the bout as soon as possible as "Chinese product don't last long".
