Chapter 298: Eye-catching award presenters
Al Haymon is a shrewd businessman, and he can see that although Wang Hao is very young, he is relatively old in character, and has a kind of stability that has experienced the world and does not change his face.
If other boxers were favored by the three major boxing organizations in the United States, they would definitely be happy, but Wang Hao was unfazed and calm, which made Al Haymon look at Wang Hao even more.
Wang Hao showed a steadiness that did not match his age, which made Al Haymon feel that it was definitely not an accident that Wang Hao could win the double boxing championship of the World Championships and the Olympics at a young age, and Al Haymon also felt that Wang Hao's future was limitless.
This made Al Haimon more determined to recruit Wang Hao into his command, and after Wang Hao took Al Haimon's business card, Al Haimon did not leave immediately, he tried to find a topic to chat with Wang Hao.
Al Haymon didn't talk about wanting Wang Hao to join his boxing club, and chatted with Wang Hao about the boxing match he had just ended and some boxing knowledge.
For his favorite fighters, Al Haymon will put a lot of thought into it, and the same is true for chatting with Wang Hao.
Al Haymon's chat was more like Wang Hao's thoughts, and after the two chatted warmly for more than ten minutes, because Wang Hao had other interviews, he was ready to end the chat.
At this time, Al Haymon also asked Wang Hao for a business card at the right time.
If Tang King's assistant and Arum's assistant asked Wang Hao for a business card just now, Wang Hao would not give it, but Wang Hao had a better impression of Al Haymon, and the other party was the owner of a top boxing club in the United States after all, Wang Hao left a business card for Al Haymon.
Al Haymon, who won Wang Hao's business card, also politely thanked him and left, followed by the blonde female reporter of the American HBO TV network walked up, according to the appointment arrangement, HBO TV network will interview Wang Hao after the game, Wang Hao himself and the Chinese national boxing team agreed.
This is the second time that Wang Hao has been interviewed by American TV media in this Olympic Games, and at the end of the semi-finals, Wang Hao also accepted an interview with the American entertainment and sports television EPSN.
The female reporter of the HBO television network in the United States was very happy to get the opportunity to be interviewed by Wang Hao, and she showed a bright smile and said: "Mr. Wang Hao! First of all, congratulations on winning the gold medal in the 64kg category of this Olympic Games! Can you tell us how you feel about it now? β
Wang Hao replied with a smile: "I feel very happy!" I am very happy to have won the Olympic gold medal and even happier to be able to bring this precious Olympic gold medal back to China. β
"You won the game today very well! Before the fight, a lot of people thought it was going to be a close match, and even a lot of people thought that Hernandez would be able to win the fight easily, but in the end you won the fight by knockout, and from the second round, Hernandez didn't get a single point from you, how did you do that? The blonde female reporter of the HBO television network continued to ask.
Wang Hao continued: "Hernandez is indeed a very good fighter, he has ruled the International Boxing Federation for seven or eight years, and during that time, he has not lost a fight, which is an outstanding record. Although, it is not surprising that there were more spectators favouring Hernandez to win before the final. β
"But I'm here to be a champion when I'm here to win the gold medal and whoever stands in my way will knock him out, whether it's Hernandez or another fighter. And not only do I have that ambition, I also have the ability to do that, and I didn't show all the tricks in my arsenal in the game before the final. Relying on some skills that I hadn't used in previous competitions, I won this final. That's one of the reasons why I'm able to win. β
"Another reason why I was able to win is that maybe other fighters in the 64kg class are afraid of Hernandez, but I have never been afraid and avoided Hernandez, and I don't have any mental burden when I fight Hernandez." Wang Hao finished his speech.
The blonde female reporter of HBO TV King listened to Wang Hao's speech, and also felt the strong confidence revealed by Wang Hao, she replied with a smile: "Your answer is very domineering, now you are the king of the sixty-four kilogram class, I think, when I compete with you again in the future, it will be Hernandez who has a psychological burden." β
Bian Fang reminded the female reporter of the HBO TV network that the question time was a bit long.
"Mr. Wang Hao! Let me ask you one last question, which I think is of great interest to the TV viewers in front of the television! The blonde female reporter of the HBO TV network nodded at Bian Fang, signaling that her interview would end soon, "I saw that the three famous professional boxing promotion organizations in the United States have just contacted you, and even Al Hymon has personally come out!" β
"As we all know, boxing is divided into amateur boxing and professional boxing, and in terms of the spectacle of the game and the degree of popularity of the audience, professional boxing is far superior to amateur boxing. So I want to ask you, do you have any plans to come to the United States to fight professional boxing and bring more exciting boxing matches to fans around the world? The blonde female reporter of HBO TV King finished expressing her last question.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "I can't answer this question now!" But I can tell you that I will continue to fight for the sport of boxing, for the sake of the audience and for the sake of my own goals! β
"Thank you, Mr. Wang Hao! Thank you for your time! Thank you so much! After saying three thanks, the blonde female reporter of the HBO TV network showed a sweet smile and said goodbye to Wang Hao.
Bian Fang watched the contact between the three major professional boxing promotion organizations in the United States and Wang Hao, and his mood was complicated, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Wang Hao has won the boxing championship of the World Championships and the Olympic Games, is already a boxing Grand Slam boxer, and has also become the representative and banner of boxers in China and even Asia.
Wang Hao has not been in adult amateur boxing for a long time, but his results are shocking enough, and he has already accomplished things that most boxers cannot do in their lifetimes.
Now Wang Hao is famous and rich, and for the Chinese national boxing team, Wang Hao is still free.
Therefore, Bian Fang was not very happy when he saw the three major professional boxing promotion organizations in the United States in contact with Wang Hao just now, but in the national boxing team, Wang Hao enjoys full freedom, as long as Wang Hao is willing to meet, Bian Fang will not stop him.
However, as the head coach of the national boxing team, Bian Fang obviously does not want Wang Hao to play professional boxing, Bian Fang hopes that Wang Hao will play amateur boxing for at least eight more years, win two more Olympic gold medals, and even fight in the 67 kg and 70 kg classes in the future.
If Wang Hao has been playing in the Chinese national boxing team, the Chinese national boxing team will have a faΓ§ade and achievements, which is Bian Fang's expectation and idea.
However, Bian Fang obviously had no way to make a decision for Wang Hao, and Bian Fang could only subtly guide Wang Hao to continue to stay in the international boxing team and play amateur boxing.
But Bian Fang didn't know that in fact, Wang Hao had already paved the way for himself to enter the professional boxing world after the Olympics, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell Bian Fang yet.
Soon, all the finals of the Olympic Games from the below 48 kg class to the 91 kg above class, a total of 11 classes were over, Wang Hao sat in the athletes' seats on the scene, and enjoyed the wonderful finals of the remaining classes up close.
In the competition above 91 kilograms, Vladimir Klitschko won the gold medal with his super strength, and the victorious Vladimir Klitschko saw Wang Hao not far away in the ring, and also extended a thumbs up to Wang Hao.
After all the finals, it is time to award the Olympic boxing competition, and the champions, runners-up and runners-up in each category will be awarded in order from the lowest to the highest level.
Wang Hao and the champions, runners-up and runners-up of other classes gathered together and waited for the moment of awarding.
Although Wang Hao has won the gold medal in the World Youth Boxing Championships and the boxing gold medal in the World Championships, the Olympic gold medal is the first time Wang Hao has won, and it may be the only time.
While waiting for the award, Vladimir Klitschko also got together with Wang Hao and chatted.
Vladimir Klitschko patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and said, "I watched your game from beginning to end in the athletes' seat!" It's just wonderful! It's amazing! I thought you'd win the fight against Hernandez, but I didn't expect you to win by knockout! My brother Wang Haodi, you are too strong! β
Hearing Vladimir Klitschko say that he watched his final from beginning to end, Wang Hao also felt a little surprised, after all, after his own game, Vladimir Klitschko also had to play, it stands to reason that when he was playing, Vladimir Klitschko should have spent time preparing for the game, but he didn't expect Vladimir Klitschko to watch his game from beginning to end.
This shows how much Vladimir Klitschko cares about Wang Hao.
Wang Hao replied with a smile: "I'm in pretty good shape today, otherwise I wouldn't have won so easily!" β
Vladimir Klitschko stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Haodi, you are too modest!" β
"Have you heard of a piece of news? Regarding the top 10 best athletes of this Olympic Games, there may be one in the big category of boxing! Vladimir Klitschko continued.
Wang Hao has been focusing on the preparation for the competition with Hernandez recently, but he really hasn't grasped the news in this regard, but Wang Hao has heard Bian Fang say before that the top ten best athletes will be selected for this Olympic Games, and they will be received by US President Clinton at the White House.
Moreover, Wang Hao and Li Xiaoshuang have been selected to represent the Chinese delegation.
However, because there are more than 200 countries and regions participating in the Olympic Games, with tens of thousands of athletes and more than 20 major sports, in fact, only a very few countries and sports can produce the best athletes.
This percentage is very low.
But now I hear Vladimir Klitschko say that there will be a boxing sport, Wang Hao feels that it is quite good, after all, most sports do not select the best athletes, and it is really good to have one in boxing.
Wang Hao asked, "Who is this boxer?" β
Vladimir Klitschko shook his head and said: "I don't know either, I just heard some inside information that one of the boxers was selected, but who is not known yet." β
In fact, Vladimir Klitschko was also selected by the Ukrainian delegation to participate in the selection of the best athlete, so Vladimir Klitschko was more concerned about the selection results, he wanted to know if he was selected, so he asked Wang Hao if he understood, but he didn't expect that Wang Hao, who didn't pay too much attention to the selection of the best athletes, didn't know as much as Vladimir Klitschko.
In fact, the only important thing for Wang Hao in this Olympics is the Olympic boxing gold medal, and as for the best athlete, in Wang Hao's eyes, it is like an opportunity to visit the White House in the United States.
Of course, it is good to have the opportunity to be evaluated, and it is nothing if you can't be evaluated, this is Wang Hao's mentality, and he did not take the selection of the best athletes to heart.
The awards of the Olympic boxing competition began, and some local officials and some officials of the International Olympic Committee, as well as some famous fighters, appeared on the scene, and they began to present awards to the fighters.
And one of these award presenters, led by the president of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch.
Two or three hundred gold medals are awarded in an Olympic Games, and very few are actually awarded by Samaranch himself, and only a very few of the most eye-catching athletes or athletes who have achieved great results can receive the glory of Samaranch's awards.
The Olympic boxing medalists who were waiting to receive the awards, saw Samaranch appear, they were all talking, Samaranch came to the scene, he must have presented awards to the gold medalists, and looking at the scale of the award presenters, Samaranch estimated that he would only give awards to one champion boxer.
Who is this champion fighter?
Which fighter can ever win the favor and be awarded by Samaranch himself?
There was a lot of discussion among the award-winning fighters at the scene, some thought that the award should be given to David Reid, the only American fighter to win the gold medal, and some thought that the award should be given to the heavyweight champion Vladimir Klitschko.
At this time, Vladimir Klitschko also looked at Samaranch, he didn't know who Samaranch would give the award, but obviously the fighter who was awarded by Samaranch would also be the one who won the top ten best athletes of the Olympic Games.
The 48-kilogram class was awarded, and Samaranch stood still.
The 51-kilogram class was awarded, but Samaranch still didn't move.
The award was presented in the 54kg class, but Samaranch still did not move.
Mayweather Jr.'s 57kg class began to present the awards, and Mayweather Jr. took the stage to receive his bronze medal, but Samaranch still didn't move.
The 60-kilogram award ceremony began, and Samaranch remained unmoved.
It's time for the 64kg class to be awarded.
As the host announced that the 64-kilogram medals would begin to be awarded below, Samaranch moved.
The host of the International Olympic Committee, the great steward of the Olympic movement, walked to the podium of the 64kg boxing champion.
