20 year-old Horvath is preparing for his clash with Singh in
his homeland and has added fresh snake blood to his strict diet in the hope it
will make him strong and powerful. Fresh snake blood is still popular in some
parts of Hungary
with many locals drinking it to harbour its supposed magical power.
“There is a long and proud tradition of drinking fresh snake
blood in my family that goes back many centuries. Like my forefathers before me
I am a true warrior and will stop at nothing to get my victory. Hungarian
soldiers drank snake blood to defeat the Turks all those years ago and now I’m
drinking it to beat Singh!” said Horvath.
He added: “The blood of these sacred animals makes me
powerful beyond words. With snake blood coursing through my veins there in no
way that Singh will defeat me. Since I’ve added snake blood to my diet I have
been able to train harder than ever before without tiring and I’m punching
harder than ever.”
Surprisingly, the Hungarian is not the only person in the
world with this unusual dietary choice. U.S. Marines, regarded as some of the
toughest soldiers in the world, have been known to drink Cobra blood as part of
their gruelling jungle survival training.
The Maasai people of Southern Kenya and Northern
Tanzania also enjoy to the odd glass of raw blood. Their
traditional diet is almost entirely made up of blood and milk from their
livestock which is rich in iron, protein and calcium; the perfect combination
for a boxer!
There are several snakes indigenous to Hungary but Horvath has acquired a
taste for the deadliest of them all; the viper! The Hungarian puncher will be
looking to pounce early when he takes on Indian hero Singh over six rounds.
Horvath, who has the edge in experience over Vijender Singh
with 31 rounds under his belt, holds a record of 5-1-1 (1) and plans on
spoiling the party when he makes his first appearance in England . The Hungarian has no fear
fighting abroad having fought in Slovakia
and France
and promises to give Singh the toughest night of his career.
He said: “I know there is a lot of hype around him and he’s
a bit of a celebrity back in India
but none of that will help him once he steps in the ring with me. I’m heading
over to England
to teach him a lesson in boxing and there’s only going to be one winner. On the
night I will be too strong and too quick for him.”
