Mandeep Jangra after his first victory under Jones
“I have won my fourth professional bout by technical knockout as my opponent was not in a position to fight after I landed so many punches at him. I am delighted to start my stint with the great Roy Jones Jr., who was guiding me from the corner, with a victory,” Mandeep told PTI from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Being signed up by Roy Jones Jr. is a huge fillip for Mandeep Jangra, an Arjuna awardee, who beat USA’s Brandon Sandoval in the lightweight category in his third professional bout in Plant City, Florida last March.
Mandeep hails from Kharian in Haryana’s Sirsa district. Jangra, who is a silver medallist from the 2013 Asian Championship, dominated the bout and sealed the issue in his favour in the second round against his opponent. Ryan Rebar is known as ‘Square Ring’ in the pro boxing circles. Like Mandeep, Rebar also held a 3-0 win record heading into their latest bout. Mandeep leaves the bout still undefeated with 4-0 and great future under Jones for next three year and Rebar now holds a 3-1 win record.
