Chapter 228: The World Championships Begin
Wang Hao and Huang Yueying walked around the campus of China Sports University and enjoyed a rare weekend time for two.
Huang Yueying told Wang Hao that she might be going to study in Germany.
Going to study abroad is the meaning of Huang Yueying's father Huang Jianguo, on the one hand, and on the other hand, Huang Yueying herself has such a plan, she wants to go to university abroad more than to study in China.
But if she goes abroad, she will inevitably be far away from Wang Hao, this is what Huang Yueying is entangled in her heart, she cares about Wang Hao's opinion on this matter, and wants to see what Wang Hao's opinion is, if Wang Hao is more opposed, Huang Yueying will give up the opportunity to study abroad.
Wang Hao heard that Huang Yueying might go to Germany to study, his heart was also tight, Wang Hao and Huang Yueying have been in love for three years, and they met less before, more than a year ago, Wang Hao came to China Sports University and the national boxing team to study and train, and the number of times the two met began to increase.
If Huang Yueying goes to Germany to study, there will be a lot less chance for the two to meet, but Wang Hao still respects Huang Yueying's own opinion, after all, studying abroad is also a good opportunity.
Wang Hao said: "Studying in Germany is a good learning opportunity, if you really want to go, go there!" ”
Huang Yueying said: "My father wanted to arrange me to study business administration at the University of Munich in Germany, and I personally thought it was a good opportunity! It's just that I can't let you go, will you wait for me?"
Wang Hao said: "If you really want to go, go ahead!" I'm sticking with you! I'll wait for you to come back. And after the Olympics next year, I should go abroad to box! ”
Huang Yueying leaned on Wang Hao's arms and said, "Brother Hao! Are you going to Hamburg, Germany next month? Why don't you go to Germany to boxing after the Olympics next year, so we can be together a lot again! ”
Wang Hao nodded, he plans to enter the professional boxing world after next year's Olympics, and he can choose to start in Europe or the United States.
But for newcomers to professional boxing, there is no doubt that Europe is more suitable, and it will develop more smoothly if you first play a boxing title and then land in the United States.
For example, Wang Hao's world-famous boxing champions Golovkin and Vasily Lomachenko were also the first to debut from Europe and entered the United States after playing a certain number of results.
The countries with the best development of professional boxing in Europe are undoubtedly the United Kingdom and Germany, Britain is because there are many world-renowned boxing champions, such as Lewis, etc., and Germany is because it is the best economic country on the European continent, there are many boxing audiences, and after Klitschko became the world's heavyweight boxing champion, many important title defenses were fought in Germany.
However, it is undoubtedly too early to determine whether to start a professional boxing career in Europe or from the United States, Wang Hao has to think carefully, but now Huang Yueying has gone to Germany to study, which has become a factor for Wang Hao to consider.
Wang Hao said: "Let me think about this and make a decision!" ”
Huang Yueying said: "Brother Hao! I thought, before I go to Germany to study, you should come to my house, and I will go to your house too! ”
The two are going to be separated for a long time, although it is because of their studies, but Huang Yueying feels that before parting, she can make herself feel more at ease by meeting the parents of both parties.
Hearing Huang Yueying's suggestion, Wang Hao nodded, although both of them are still young, just reaching the age of graduating from high school, they have been together for three years, and they can also meet their parents.
Although meeting the parents this time does not mean talking about marriage, at least let the parents of both parties know that the two are already clear lovers, which paves the way for further development in the future.
Wang Hao said: "Okay! Wait until I get back from the World Championships in Hamburg! ”
Time flies quickly, more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is about to be the day when Wang Hao will leave for Hamburg to participate in this World Boxing Championship.
In the past half a month, Wang Hao also suspended his studies at China Sports University and devoted almost all of his time to preparing for the World Championships.
Wang Hao learned the information and technical characteristics of the main fighters of this World Championships from Bian Fang and Atoli Lomachenko, and did pre-competition preparatory training.
A week before the start of the World Boxing Championships in Hamburg, Wang Hao, Bian Fang, Sun Zeyong, the national team's team doctor, nutritionist and a sparring partner flew to Hamburg by flight.
This year's World Boxing Championships were held at Hamburg's well-equipped athletic center, and Bian Fang had already booked a hotel and training venue nearby.
In order to ensure Wang Hao's training and rest, Wang Hao was arranged in the most high-end single room, and Wang Hao's food standard in Hamburg was also the highest.
After a few days of acclimatization training, Wang Hao has basically adapted to the local climate in Hamburg, and has fully adapted to the jet lag.
The day before the official match, the day of the draw for the World Boxing Championships has also arrived.
The Hamburg Athletics Centre is home to the best fighters from all over the world, of all skin tones, and at all levels.
All of them are fighters within the top 50 of the International Boxing Federation rankings in each class, and there are 32 fighters in each division, and the 32 fighters are selected from the highest ranking to the bottom, and only when some of the current 32 fighters cannot participate for various reasons, they will be selected from the fighters outside the 32 in order.
Fighters compete in a pre-fight weigh-in and draw according to different weight classes.
Wang Hao's weight control has been very good, with a weight of 63.7 kilograms, he passed the weighing at one time, and then a lottery was drawn, and Wang Hao's lottery number was exactly "1".
After all the fighters drew lots, Wang Hao also looked at the draw results.
The fighter who drew the No. 2 turned out to be the Japanese boxer Kosuke Fuji.
Wang Hao already knows something about Kosuke Fuji, and is the only Asian boxer who is higher than Wang Hao in the International Boxing Federation 64kg fighter rankings.
Kosuke Fuji is a relatively old man, in his twenties, and has been fighting in adult international boxing competitions for six or seven years, and is the best amateur boxer in Japan at this level, and is currently ranked 19th among international boxers in the 64kg class of the International Boxing Federation.
And Wang Hao, who has just started playing adult boxing, is ranked twenty-third.
Although Fuji Kosuke is slightly higher than his ranking, Wang Hao feels that this is nothing, and through the results of the competition, Wang Hao can quickly improve his ranking.
Wang Hao took a closer look at the draw results of the other fighters, focusing on a few highly-ranked fighters, such as the Bulgarian "Cobra" Ichkov ranked third by the International Boxing Federation, the Russian Nagaev ranked fifth, the American Jill Watters ranked sixth, and the Cuban "Havana Ruffian" Latiz ranked eighth.
Of these boxers, Wang Hao only fought with Latiz at the World Junior Boxing Championships, and only Jill Vajes appeared in the same World Junior Boxing Championships as the other boxers, as for the Bulgarian "Cobra" Ichkov and the Russian Nagaev, they are ranked higher, but they are also older, so Wang Hao, who has just entered adult boxing, is participating in the same event with them for the first time this time.
Of those fighters, only Latiz "Havana Plankton" was also drawn in the top eight, Jill Vajes was drawn in numbers nine to sixteen, while Bulgarian Ichikov "Cobra" Ichkov, ranked third, and Russian Nagaev, ranked fifth, were both drawn in numbers 17 to 32.
This means that in the first half of the event, Wang Hao will not meet Ichkov or Nagaev, but will likely meet his old opponent "Havana Ruffian" Latiz or former American Golden Glove Champion and current No. 6 in the 64kg International Boxing Federation (FIB) 64kg category.
After the draw, Wang Hao used the time before the fight to learn something about Japanese boxer Kosuke Fuji.
As the head coach of the Chinese national team, before Wang Hao came, Bian Fang had always only focused on the Asian Games and Asian boxing competitions, and naturally knew a lot about the best boxer in Asia, Kosuke Fuji.
On the afternoon of the draw, Bian Fang also told Wang Hao some information about Fuji Yasuke.
"Kosuke Fuji is currently the best in the 64 division among Asian boxers!" "Of course, it's because you're still playing adult boxing, and I'm sure after tomorrow's fight, you'll be the best Asian fighter in the 64-kilogram class in place of Kosuke Fuji." ”
"The same Asian boxer, Fuji Kosuke has always been our great enemy, our national boxing team's 64 kg boxer, in the Asian or world-class competition trials, at least four times have met Fuji Kosuke, but without exception, all lost, and lost more completely, even if the points lost, it was a big score behind."
Bian Fang continued.
"In every way, Kosuke Fuji is really strong, and his speed, power, and technical versatility are among the best in Asia."
"I believe that there is no fighter in Asia other than you who can win against Kosuke Fuji."
Bian Fang continued to speak his opinion.
"But because you're new to the adult world boxing tournament, from the perspective of experience, you must be a lot worse than Kosuke Fuji, so you still have to pay enough attention to win the fight. After all, Kosuke Fuji's strength is world-class, and if you are a little careless, you may also lose the game. ”
After listening to Bian Fang's narration, Wang Hao also nodded, since Wang Hao started boxing, whether it is a domestic competition or an international youth competition, he attaches great importance to every opponent, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Hao has been able to win all competitions along the way.
Although Wang Hao is confident that he can beat Kosuke Fuji, he will also try to get familiar with the opponent's style as much as possible before the match, so as to be foolproof.
On the afternoon of the end of the draw, Wang Hao, with the cooperation of Bian Fang and the sparring partner, did some low-intensity actual combat training and hand target practice.
Bian Fanghe has prepared for the Chinese national boxing team members and Fuji Kosuke many times, they are very familiar with Fuji Kosuke's ability and technical habits, fully cooperate with Wang Hao's pre-match adaptation training, and try to show all the technical characteristics of Fuji Kosuke in front of Wang Hao.
After several hours of adaptive combat and hand-target practice, Bian Fang and the sparring partner also discovered the difference between Wang Hao and the national team fighters who were preparing for Kosuke Fuji before.
Wang Hao's speed is too fast, and his strength is also unusually large, after a few hours of fighting, Bian Fang and the sparring partner took turns to play, but they were almost defeated by Wang Hao.
And Bian Fanghe also found that Wang Hao's technical system is too comprehensive and rich, and it takes a long time for the national team fighters who were preparing for the competition to be familiar with one of the movements of Fuji Kosukeji, but Wang Hao can deal with it calmly after just understanding it.
This made Bian Fang and the sparring partner more confident in Wang Hao's victory, Fuji Yasuke Fuji defeated the Chinese fighter several times in the qualifiers of Asian and world-class competitions, Bian Fang and the sparring partner were very depressed, but they had no choice but to be inferior to others for a long time.
But now Wang Hao's appearance and superb strength have given Bian Fang and the sparring partner hope, and they are looking forward to Wang Hao defeating Kosuke Fuji in tomorrow's game and sweeping away the long-term haze of the national team.
In another training facility near the Hamburg City Athletic Center, where the fighters of the Japanese national team are training.
There are not many fighters in the Japanese national team who can participate in the World Boxing Championships, and there are three or four fighters in each class combined, among which Kosuke Fuji is the strongest.
At this time, Kosuke Fuji had just finished a pre-fight adaptive combat match and stepped down from the ring.
He already knew that tomorrow's opponent would be a fighter from China named Wang Hao.
For a Chinese boxer, and a fighter who has never heard of a famous fighter before, participating in the 64kg World Boxing Championships, Fuji Kosuke is still quite surprised.
Because Fuji Kosuke has been fighting in the 64 kg class for seven or eight years, although he often participates in world boxing events, but the most played is in the Asian boxing competition, so Fuji Kosuke knows a lot about the fighters who have strength in the 64 kg class in Asia, including the fighters of the Chinese national team.
But the name Wang Hao, he heard it for the first time, Fuji Kosuke was able to fight the highest ranking of Asian fighters in the world, in addition to his extraordinary talent and hard training, the importance of the competition is also unusual.
After learning that Wang Hao was a very young boxer, he had just entered the International Boxing Federation 64 kg ranking, and was ranked 23rd, he was shocked, and he immediately asked the coach of the boxing team to learn about Wang Hao.
The coach who was entrusted by Fuji Kosuke to understand Wang Hao's information was already waiting for Fuji Kosuke under the ring at this time, and when he saw Fuji Kosuke walking down after the actual battle, Fuji Kosuke's coach immediately greeted him.
He said: "I have learned Wang Hao's information! He is very strong, he has just started to play adult boxing, and in his youth stage, he once won the gold medal in the World Junior Boxing Championships! ”
