"Congratulations Tau @boxervijender .

Cheka ka Theka le liya. Everybody should drink Chikoo Shake in honour of your win.

#NightOfTheChampions" – Sehwag tweeted.

Vijender sealed his 8th consecutive victory as a pro after landing the final knockout punch in 3rd round to Francis.

Cheka, despite being a veteran with 43 fights with 32 wins including 17 KO's, couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with Vijender despite insulting his Bronze medal in pre-fight talks.
