In delightful news for poker and boxing lovers, India’s most trusted poker site PokerBaazi today announced the signing of India’s boxing superstar, and one of India’s most popular youth icon`s Vijender Singh as its latest brand ambassador.

In August 2016, PokerBaazi signed its first brand ambassador in Bollywood actor Sunny Leone and as the contract with Leone was expiring, PokerBaazi chose to sign up a sportsperson to promote the brand.
