It’s time to prove myself and show what I’m capable of.”

Singh’s commitment to his training is evident, as he continually pushes himself to excel in various martial arts disciplines. His relentless work ethic has garnered attention from international organizations eager to sign him, recognizing the potential he brings to the octagon.

“I’m grateful for the interest from international events. It’s a testament to the hard work I’ve put in, and I’m excited to seize the opportunities ahead,” Singh remarked.
