The undefeated Indian ace - Vijender will take on Ghana's Ernest Amuzu in a double title fight in which his WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight belts will be on the line.
Vijender has fought nine bouts so far, winning all of them, and has collected the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight titles.
Unbeaten in nine fights so far Vijender was last seen in action in August when he defeated China's No.1 boxer Zulpikar Maimaitiali to claim the WBO Oriental title.
Fielding is far more experienced than WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight champion Vijender.
The WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight and Oriental Super Middleweight Champion said his fans respect him more as a boxer than an actor or model.
Vijender was the first Indian pugilist to win a bronze medal at the 15th World Championship in Milan in 2009. Later Vikas Krishan (2011) and Shiva Thapa (2015) repeated the heroics for India.
It was a sign of true gesture showcased by the Indian boxer because the countries have been involved in a lingering dispute for quite a while now.
It was double delight for the fans as Vijender also snatched the WBO Oriental Super Middleweight title from the Chinese, who is nine years younger to him.
The 31-year-old former Olympic bronze-medallist will be fighting his ninth professional fight against the Chinese opponent on Saturday with his WBO Asia Pacific super middleweight title on the line.
"As we know, World Super Champions are southpaws," he said. "Only by fighting with good boxers like Vijender I can know what is my true ability, so I chose Vijender this time," says Zulipikar.
The ace Indian pugilist will take on China's Zulpikar Maimaitiali for a double-title fight on Saturday in Mumbai.
WBO Oriental Super middleweight champion Maimaitiali said: "I will show Vijender what Chinese are capable of, we have shown India time and again what China is capable of, it's time that Vijender too learns his lesson."
Vijender Singh, who remained unbeaten since his debut in professional boxing, has fought eight bouts with the last one being against former world number one boxer Francis Cheka from Tanzania, where he defended his title.
The major men's boxing events hosted by India so far have been the 1990 World Cup in Mumbai and the 2010 Commonwealth Championships in New Delhi.
"Vijender will be surprised when I throw punches at him, he thinks I am a kid, but he has no idea who I am", says Maimaittiali.
Vijender, the reigning WBO Asia Pacific super middleweight champion will square off against China's Zulpikar Maimaitiali, the WBO Oriental super middleweight titleholder, in a winner-takes-all fight on August 5 in Mumbai.
