Singh's on song Stateside
TERRY SINGH has set his sights on England Boxing Elite Championship success after flying the flag in America.
The North End boxing talent shone as he proudly stepped up to fight for England Universities as the squad travelled to Miami.
Singh found himself on the wrong end of a controversial points-decision loss to his American counterpart.
Just how debatable that called proved to be was shown as the 26-year-old was named the best boxer of the show. Singh savoured the experience, however, with hopes high of making an impact in the national championships at Poseidon ABC.
He was also given an insight into life in the pro ranks as part of his Stateside trip.
