Star Indian boxer Vijender Singh on Sunday announced that he will tie the knot with a Delhi girl on Tuesday.

The Olympic and World Championship bronze-medallist, who returned to the country on Sunday after winning a bronze in the Arafura Games, conceded that he will tie the knot on Tuesday in his native village Kaluwas in Bhiwani.

"I am getting married on May 17, my would-be bride's name is Archana and she is from Delhi and that's all I want to tell about her. It is a private occasion and I hope my privacy is respected," Vijender said after landing here on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Haryana-lad, who won a gold medal at the Asian Games last year, had earlier denied reports of the impending marriage which came out last week, saying that they were inaccurate.

"It's a new chapter of my life and I am obviously excited. It's a bout in which loss is victory," he chuckled.
