              According to BBC, Vijender Singh, an Olympic medallist, beat Zulpikar Maimaitiali on Saturday, winning the WBO Oriental Super Middleweight belt from him. But he dedicated his win to the "India-China friendship", and said he wanted to give the belt back. India and China have been feuding over a disputed border area since June. The row erupted when India opposed China's attempt to extend a border road through a plateau known as Doklam in India and Donglang in China. Mr Singh, 31, has been widely praised in India for his win in the much-anticipated fight in Mumbai. But some appear not to share his message of reconciliation. "Chinese met a grand defeat in Mumbai and same will happen in Doklam," a yoga guru and businessman called Baba Ramdev  tweeted . It is unclear if the Chinese competitor has responded to the offer, or if competition officials would allow the belt to be returned. The disputed plateau lies at a junction betw
