'They Do A Lot Of Sledging': Sangram Singh Braces For Pakistan's Mind Games In Asia Champion Title Clash
Commonwealth Heavyweight Wrestling Champion: Indian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and wrestling star Sangram Singh opened up about the intense mental and physical pressure of competing in his career's first-ever title bout, especially given the massive scale of an India-Pakistan clash.
Sangram is slated to square off against Pakistan's Abid Ali for the prestigious Asia Champion title in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 19. The India versus Pakistan contest has already generated excitement across the combat sports fraternity, with the winner set to be crowned the Asian Champion.
Noting the unique psychological warfare and emotions tied to the cross-border rivalry, Sangram stressed the need for maintaining composure and adhering strictly to the team's strategy rather than getting swayed by provocation.
