The art and my will to fight is drawn from a rich Sikh lineage of warriors, generals and martyrs that lead our people through what otherwise would have meant extinction.
– Sukhdeep Singh Chakria
The pride of Punjab, reigning IBF International junior middleweight champion Sukhdeep ‘Chakria’ Singh (18-0, 8 KO) is on the prowl for major opportunities in 2024.
Ranked No. 14 by the IBF, Singh has discovered a meanstreak of late in a pair of statement knockout victories against Yaser Yuksel and Gino Godoy — the latter a monstrous right-hand which sent Godoy into retirement.
Singh provided a further memorable night in May 2023, when he stopped Indian rival Sagar Narwat in an ethnic-soaked rivalry at Brampton’s CAA Centre to claim the IBO Asia Pacific super welterweight title.
As the pound-for-pound top Punjab fighter in the world, Singh is buoyed by a large fan base both in Toronto and abroad; soft-spoken and respectful beyond the boxing ring, he transforms into a confident tiger when the bell rings.
