Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists his scary bloodshot eye is by no means hampering his performances.The Belgium number one sat on the bench for his countrys 1-1 friendly draw with the Netherlands on Wednesday after recovering from an illness that made him burst a blood vessel in his left eye.Courtois is expected to feature in their World Cup Qualifier against Estonia on Sunday and has described all the gory details of his Halloween ordeal exclusively to Sky Sports News HQ. After the Manchester United game I came home and got sick, he said. Courtois says he wants to win the Premier League title with Chelsea I had to vomit a few times and you force yourself, and it was just a vein that popped in my eye.It looks scary. It was the Halloween period so then it was okay but now its not going away. They said 10 days and its already been two and a half weeks but it doesnt affect me in the game. Courtois believs Chelsea can win the league if they avoid the complacency that affected them last season Some pictures look worse than it is. Theres nothing to do about it.Courtois has kept seven successive clean sheets for Chelsea and Belgium, failing to concede since the defeat to Liverpool in September, which has helped propel the Blues into the Premier League top four.His manager at Stamford Bridge, Antonio Conte, has recently played down talk of his side being in title contention but Courtois hopes they can be there or thereabouts come May.We could be title contenders but after last season we have to be careful about everything, he said. Courtois has been in superb form for Chelsea this season We cannot relax because maybe last year we went too easy into the season because we were champions the year before. We have to keep the focus, ambition and hunger to win and, if we keep that, then maybe in May we can lift that trophy.The clean sheets are nice but, apart from against Leicester and Manchester United, I didnt have too much work to do. Thats part of the teamwork. If you defend well you keep clean sheets and thats whats happening with Belgium and Chelsea.Also See:Kompany, Dembele out for BelgiumMartinez: No Kompany injuryBelgium held by NetherlandsSky Live: Sunday qualifiersArmani Watts Super Bowl Jersey .

Tyreek Hill Super Bowl Jersey . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal.Five months after he won his maiden professional boxing title in New Delhis Thyagaraj Stadium, Vijender Singh will defend it at the same venue. Singhs promoters announced on Tuesday, that Singh will fight to keep his WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight belt -- that he had won by beating Australian Kerry Hope -- on December 17.The contest, against a yet to be determined opponent, will be Vijenders second professional fight in India.The 2008 Olympics bronze-medalist had fought his first six professional bouts in the UK. It had been a straightforward decision when he had decided to end his amateur career last year. India didnt really have a professional boxing ecosystem to speak of as compared to the UK.The professional setup in India remains non-existent. Vijender is the face of the sport in India and yet despite his turbocharged push in the pro ranks, he is still a relatively inexperienced prizefighter, having fought just seven times in all. Indeed, there is a case for him to continue to develop as a fighter. However, pro boxing is a business first and foremost, and as such the decision for Vijender to fight in India has reasonable financial logic.In the UK, Vijender Singh had to fight early in the evening on the undercard of more established boxers not just because he was relatively unknown in that market, but also in an attempt to make prime time telecast on Indian TV. Vijenders first six fights in the UK earned a reported Rs. 18 crore, according to Infinity Optimal Solutions (IOS) CEO and managing director Neerav Tomar, which manaages the boxer.ddddddddddddIn contrast, Tomar had expected Vijenders maiden professional bout in India to generate an estimated 12 crore.It has to make economic sense to promote professional boxing shows anywhere. Seeing the success of our Delhi show, it made sense to have another show in the city, says Tomar.Tomar isnt worried that Vijender, who last fought in the UK, nearly half a year back will fall out of the public eye in the country where he continues to train at coach Lee Beards academy in Manchester. While Tomar believes that Vijender is already an established fighter in England, he adds, Right now we need him more in India to promote professional boxing. We need to make pro boxing big in India, he adds.Vijender will return to the UK, says Tomar, but on his own terms. We dont want to send him to the UK as an under card fighter. He is someone who is boxing ten-round contests and has a title belt. Whenever he goes back to the UK he will be the main event or co-main event, he says.Indeed, Vijender, will likely be boxing a lot more judiciously from now on. Theres nothing stopping Vijender from fighting eight-round contests (non title bouts), but it makes little sense for him. He doesnt need to do that anymore. Our target is to set up bigger bouts for him. We are looking for Vijender to hold three or four more belts next year. He wont just be boxing in India or the UK but around the world, says Tomar. ' ' '
