070 Starting point

Huang Yifei finished the game, but the entire Asian Boxing Championship did not end because there were still major competitions that were still going on.

According to previous history, China was wiped out at the big level this time. Except for Zou Shimin's gold medal, he only won a few silver medals. However, with Huang Yifei's stimulation this time, all the Chinese team members were in agitation.

Although boxing is a decisive factor, it often depends on the state when they have a small difference in strength. Originally, they can win silver medals, which proves that the strength of the big level cannot be much worse.

As expected, with Zou Shimin and Huang Yifei laying the foundation, the Chinese team won the championship again. This time the gold medal was Zhang Xiaoping, who was in the 81kg class. As the Olympic champion next year, Zhang Xiaoping's strength is beyond doubt, so he won the gold medal was also expected by Huang Yifei.

However, the surprise has not yet ended. In the last game, Zhang Zhilei won the gold medal at the 91kg or above level. After all, he is also a silver medal at next year's Olympics, creating a history of China's super heavyweight class, and is also very strong. It just depends on the performance of the stadium.

In 11 levels of competition, the Chinese team won four levels of championships. This is something that has never happened before, and it also made the Chinese team's medal list top without any suspense. Many years later, when boxers recalled this history, they regarded this day as the starting point for the rise of Chinese boxing. From this day on, China has emerged from a large number of world boxing champions!

At the end of the game, everyone was very relaxed in the closing ceremony because this time it was already over-specified to achieve the goal. That night, Liang Feng did not train Huang Yifei as usual, but gave Huang Yifei a day off. He and Zou Shimin went out to drink.

I still remember when Liang Feng was playing tricks on Huang Yifei, he said that he used to be a coach for Zou Shimin, but Huang Yifei had never seen Liang Feng say anything to Zou Shimin these days. Now that everyone who won the championship was relaxed, they went to talk about the past.

Meng Fanlong and Zhou Yunxiang were also reminiscing about the past. Meng Fanlong naturally went with his senior brother Zhang Xiaoping, and Zhou Yunxiang celebrated with some other coaches. Faced with this situation, Huang Yifei was not embarrassed to make up the numbers, so he planned to have a good sleep in the hotel alone, but at this time a group of uninvited guests came.

The name of the leader is Bob Arum. Many people may feel unfamiliar with this name, but if you mention other names, such as heavyweight world boxing champion Ali, George Foreman, middleweight world boxing champion Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and even the first Asian boxing man Pacquiao, probably many people have heard of it. And this Arum is the agent of these boxing champions!

When the old man introduced his name, Huang Yifei was simply shocked. He never expected that this person, who was almost like Taishan Beidou in the field of boxing agents, would appear in front of him. This level of surprise was no less than seeing Don Jin appear directly.

The reason why Huang Yifei really knew this name was not because of these foreign boxing champions, but because six years later, in early 2013, Arum's "top" boxing promotion company will sign a boxing contract with Zou Shimin, the winner of the three World Championships and two Olympic gold medalist, and officially become Zou Shimin's boxing promoter.

Huang Yifei really couldn't remember that Arum had found Chinese boxers in recent years. The only thing that made him feel a little more vivid was that at the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, Tang Jin had watched Zou Shimin's competitions, and even bluntly said that he wanted to sign Zou Shimin to open up the Chinese market. But I don't know why Zou Shimin did not choose Don Jin, but Arum.

After thinking about it, this may also be related to Don Jin's weakness over the years. After all, in the future, it will basically be Arum's "top level" and equally matched the "Golden Boy" boxing promotion company founded by the later world boxing champion "Golden Boy" Dera Hoya.

Arum walked into Huang Yifei's room like an old friend, smiling and introducing himself to him first.

"Fei, I know that your Chinese name is in front of you, but I prefer the name Fei. In English, it is fly, which represents soaring and endless boundaries, just like I think your future will be. You won't mind if you call me like this?"

After Arum finished speaking, when his assistant was still preparing to translate, Huang Yifei stopped him and replied in fluent English: "I don't mind such a title at all, just like you said. When my parents named me, they also meant to soar to the sky."

Huang Yifei was a prestigious university in his previous life. After all, he passed the CET-6 English and later wrote codes as an otaku, which made him hone his English level again. Therefore, general English conversations have no problem with Huang Yifei.

Hearing Huang Yifei speak such fluent English, Arum's face appeared with a hint of surprise and replied with a smile: "Fei, your English level is much better than I thought. If I hadn't known your information, I would have suspected that you were Chinese American."

Arum's words undoubtedly told Huang Yifei that before he came here, he had already checked Huang Yifei's information in detail. Then the two of them politely said a few words, and Arum got to the point.

"Fei, I'm here to find you this time and I really appreciate your talent in boxing. Personally, I think there is no need for you to continue playing in amateur boxing, but you should switch to professional boxing, so that you will gain greater fame and benefits!"

"Now there has never been any professional boxing champion in China. As long as you sign a contract with my top boxing promotion company, we will tailor the best training plan for you and find the most suitable opponent. According to your strength, I am confident that within one to two years, you will create history and become China's first professional boxing champion!"

Arum spoke in a high tone, not like an old man in his seventies at all. Instead, he cooperated with the movements in his hands and really had a special infectiousness.

Seeing Arum's tone, Huang Yifei couldn't help but think of the alley a year ago. Liang Feng also used almost the same method and content to trick Huang Yifei into the boxing path. Is history going to repeat today?

(Today I say more, because I saw a reader asking yesterday, can amateur boxing be called a boxing champion? This question is very good. It is indeed generally called XX level champion and there is no habit of being called a boxing champion. Even if it is called a boxing champion, it is just an ordinary person.

Let me say a few more words here. The value of the top amateur boxing champion is actually not inferior to that of the professional boxing world. The number of boxing athletes in Cuba exceeds that of all professional boxing athletes, and the difficulty of winning gold medals every four years in the Olympics is far superior to that of professional boxing. After all, the four major boxing organizations, 17 levels, plus transitional gold belts, and special gold belts. In fact, boxing champions are flying all over the sky every year. If you are considered other small organizations, then... Moreover, the top three boxing players in previous Olympic boxing, basically all the boxing champion level levels are at the level of boxing champions. These two are just different rules and their strength is not as different as ordinary people imagine.

There were also people who had no heads in amateur boxing 84 years ago. Ali Foreman won the championship without heads. However, because of the death of South Korea's Kim Dejiu, the rules of professional boxing changed, and the rules of amateur boxing were also proposed by the American Medical Committee to change. Since then, there have been heads, but this year's Rio Olympics have been cancelled again.
