"I have heard that he is a great fan of mine and I promise that I will go out on a date with him if he brings gold for India," Bipasha told Aaj Tak.

Vijender Kumar on Wednesday defeated Carlos Gongora of Ecuador in the boxing quarter-finals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing [Images]. He defeated Carlos with a 9-4 score. The victory has assured him at least a bronze medal.

Now, he needs two wins in the semi-finals to make it to the finals and to the date as promised.
