Less than two hours prior to the most anticipated boxing bout of the 2011 Arafura Games, Indian boxing superstar, Vijender Singh, is ringside at Arafura Central, to catch a glimpse of possible opponents in future encounters.
Singing along to Queen's 'We will rock you' the 25-year-old, who is tipped to win gold at the 2012 London Olympics, is casually mingeling with a crowd of hundreds of spectators in the second Arafura Games boxing night wearing a t-shirt that says "do some damage".
Indian team official Harpal Juneja said: "It's exciting for us to be here, Vijender is excited and everyone in India is excited."
