#5 John Abraham as Vijender Singh
Trending
Vijender Singh became the first ever Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal when he won the bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He defeated Gongora of Ecuador in the quarter-finals to assure the bronze medal.
Hailing from a humble Jat family, Vijender’s father was a bus driver while his mother was a homemaker. His father worked extra hours just so Vijender and his elder brother could pursue their education. But Vijender found his calling in boxing and took to the sport.
He won several medals at the national level, before going stepping up to the international level. There as well, he earned several plaudits but the Olympic bronze remains the highlight of his career. He has now turned to professional boxing and is the reigning WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight champion.
Vijender, himself, has made a few appearances in movies but none have been successful and he could portray himself on the silver screen but given his boxing career, the chances are slim. John Abraham could be the ideal actor to play his role.
