Chapter 312: Opponents and Venues for WBA Intercontinental Boxing Titles
After Wang Hao successfully won two professional boxing bouts, the next bout will be very important for Wang Hao, because it is time to fight for the intercontinental boxing gold belt.
In the third match, if Wang Hao can successfully obtain the intercontinental boxing championship belt, he will next qualify for the WBA super lightweight championship.
Therefore, the third game of the Intercontinental Boxing Championship will be a very important match for Wang Hao.
Therefore, William, the owner of the Rhine Boxing Club, took the initiative to find Wang Hao, and has also carefully helped Wang Hao find two opponents.
After the last match with Scherf, Wang Hao was looking forward to his next game and opponent, and the game with Scherf, Wang Hao consumed very little, even if he played the next game immediately within a month, it would be absolutely no problem for Wang Hao.
Hearing that William was going to introduce himself to the opponent of the next game, Wang Hao also listened carefully.
William said: "The two opponents I have sought for you are both undefeated fighters, and they are both ranked in the top 10 in the WBA world, and they are almost the strongest fighters in the European ultra-lightweight division. ”
"The first fighter is a British ultra-lightweight fighter named Fürch, 28 years old, who has been a professional boxer for seven or eight years, and currently has a professional record of 29 wins, including 19 knockout wins, and is ranked ninth in the WBA."
The second fighter is a Bulgarian fighter named Nirras, who is now 24 years old and has a professional record of 23 wins, 21 of which are knockouts, and is currently ranked seventh in the ultra-lightweight division. Compared to British fighter Phil Hera, Nirras can be said to be a rookie, but the intensity of the competition is high. ”
William finished a brief introduction to the two fighters.
Wang Hao listened carefully to William's introduction, two fighters, a British boxer, and a Bulgarian boxer, are both in their twenties, and the results of the game are very good, so far they have not lost the game, obviously the two boxers are step by step, step by step, to have the top ten in the WBA world rankings.
Looking at the two men's records, it is clear that Bulgarian fighter Nirras has a higher knockout rate, but Britain's Fürch fights a little more and has more experience.
"These two fighters are good!" Wang Hao continued to ask about the fighting style of his most concerned opponent, "What is the technique and fighting style of these two fighters?" ”
William said: "I have understood this, and I have communicated with Paul, the fighting style of the two fighters is relatively tough, but relatively speaking, the Bulgarian boxer Nirlas has a tougher fighting style, which belongs to the kind of fighter who can finish the opponent and win, and will never choose a fighter who is determined by points." ”
"There is a difference between the British fighter Fürch, although he is also physically strong and has an offensive style of play, and he will aim to knock out his opponent to win, but when he encounters difficult or particularly strong opponents, he will not force the knockout, solid wins are his first choice, and he will only try to finish his opponent when he has the opportunity."
"In short, judging from the style of the two fighters, Bulgarian fighters can take risks in pursuit of knockouts, but Fürch is relatively steady, and both fighters have a well-rounded technique, and they have both fought amateur boxing before entering the professional boxing field, and their boxing skills are solid. With his long arm span, Fürch is relatively good at long-distance fighting, while Bulgarian fighter Nirras is a long-range and close-range fighter, and I won't say which style of play he mainly uses. ”
William finished explaining what he knew about the two fighters' techniques and fighting styles.
Wang Hao listened carefully, and after William's introduction, Wang Hao knew that the two fighters, Filch and Nirras, were very good in terms of technique and physical fitness, but relatively speaking, Wang Hao preferred the fighting style of Bulgarian boxer Nierras.
Bulgarian fighter Nirlath pursues knockout rate and can make the fight more exciting, which is what Wang Hao likes, Wang Hao doesn't want his match to be dull, whether it is from personal preference or from the perspective of treating the audience, Wang Hao hopes that the fight he participates in can be intense and exciting.
Compared with Bulgarian fighter Nirlas, British fighter Fürch is also aggressive in his style of play, but he is less adventurous, and is only willing to pursue knockouts when he is sure, and devote himself to grinding points when he is not sure.
In terms of competition strategy as a fighter, it is obvious that British fighter Phil can adopt a better match strategy than Bulgarian fighter Nirras, but Wang Hao feels that when facing himself, British fighter Firmer Filler may play the match more conservatively, which will reduce the excitement of the fight.
Therefore, from Wang Hao's point of view, he prefers to choose Bulgarian fighter Nirras as the opponent for the next WBA Intercontinental Title title.
Wang Hao replied: "These two fighters are good opponents for my next fight, but I think the Bulgarian fighter Nirras is more suitable. ”
William nodded, he knew that from Wang Hao's point of view, he must prefer the Bulgarian fighter Nirras, after all, Nierras's style is more offensive and can bring Wang Hao the fight he wants.
However, in addition to the opponent, it is also a question of what stage to put Wang Hao's next fight on, which William has already considered, and continued: "Bulgarian fighter Nirras and British fighter Firmer are fighters belonging to different promotion companies, British boxer Phil is signed to Hearn Promotion Company in the United Kingdom, while Bulgarian fighter Nierras is signed to the promotion company in Arum in the United States. ”
"To achieve a fight with these two fighters, it is more necessary to negotiate with the two promotion companies, but because they are also optimistic about your market potential, and the relationship between the Rheinland Boxing Club and their two promotion companies is also very good, so there is no problem with the promotion of the fight, and the remaining problem is only the competition venue and the boxer's remuneration."
William continued.
"The British fighter Fürch is very well-known in the UK, and there are very few fans outside the UK who know about this fighter, so to fight Fürch, the best venue to fight is in the UK, and it is also possible on the European continent. We had an initial conversation with the other party's contracted company, Hearn Promotions, and if you can get a fight with Filler, they want to use it as a mat match for the rematch between British heavyweight champion Lewis and his old rival Mycall. And it may be used as the main mat game. ”
"Although the Bulgarian fighter Nirras is a European fighter, he is signed under the Arum banner, so most of the fights are fought in the United States, and he has a certain reputation in Eastern Europe and the United States. We've made initial conversations, and they've found a place for Nirlas in the rematch between Chavez and de la Hoya in two months' time, but they don't have an opponent yet. ”
"They also think you're a good opponent, but this game is going to Las Vegas, USA, and the referee there, I can't say if it will be biased."
William had told him all his thoughts and the information he had just spoken.
Wang Hao also analyzed carefully.
Wang Hao knew that British boxer Firmer was going to give Lewis a mat match, and Bulgarian boxer Nierras was going to give Chavez and de la Hoya a mat match, obviously choosing these two different opponents was equivalent to choosing a different arena and competition stage.
Of course, both of these matches have good chances, and the rematch between Lewis and McCall, although in the UK, is world-class thanks to Lewis's influence, and will attract far more than just a British audience.
In particular, Lewis's only defeat in his current career is a loss to McCall.
The fight between Lewis and McCall was the first time Lewis carelessly lost Jingzhou, and the fight only reached the second round, and Lewis, who was too relaxed, was knocked out by McCall's cold punch.
It was Lewis' first loss, and it cost Lewis the WBC Heavyweight Championship belt, but Lewis later earned the IBF Heavyweight Belt.
So the rematch between Lewis and McCall is not only a revenge fight for Lewis, but also a unification fight for heavyweight champions, which will attract the attention of fans around the world.
And the rematch between de la Hoya and Chavez, while not as influential around the world as the rematch between Lewis and McCall, is definitely no less appealing to fans in the United States and Mexico than the rematch between Lewis and McCall.
But the Las Vegas referee that William said is indeed a problem, it is common for Las Vegas referees to defend American fighters or big-name boxers, Wang Hao's last life, the fruit of Ggg Golovkin's victory against Alvarez was robbed by the Las Vegas referee.
However, Wang Hao felt that this would not happen to him, because if he finally decided to fight the Bulgarian fighter Nirras, Wang Hao would not let his opponent stand until the end of the fight.
After a short period of thought, Wang Hao still decided to choose the match with the Bulgarian boxer Nirras, in addition to liking Nierras's style of play, this match, Wang Hao can also watch the rematch between Chavez and de la Hoya live.
Chavez and de la Hoya are both close opponents for Wang Hao, especially the current WBA super lightweight champion Chavez, once Wang Hao finishes the third fight, challenging the WBA super lightweight gold belt in Chavez's hand is the match that Wang Hao is about to fight.
Being able to watch the rematch between Chavez and de la Hoya on the spot will help Wang Hao prepare for the match with the two.
Wang Hao replied: "Let's give priority to the fight with Bulgarian fighter Nirras!" ”
William nodded, although he felt that the rematch between Lewis and McCall was more influential, but in fact, although there was a difference in influence between the two main events, it was not big, Wang Hao chose to fight Bulgarian boxer Neil Ras, and William would naturally do his best to promote the match.
After chatting about the opponent and location of the next game, the two chatted a little more, and William cared about Wang Hao's training and life.
For life, Wang Hao's requirements are not very high, and the living conditions provided by the Rheinland Boxing Club are superior enough, a three-bedroom apartment in the center of Berlin, and a food standard of 3,000 US dollars a month is enough for Wang Hao.
But for training, Wang Hao still has some ideas, in the era of amateur boxing, although Wang Hao also attaches great importance to the training of his strength and confrontation ability, but because the coach is Atoli Lomachenko, Wang Hao learned more about the essence of Soviet-style boxing, as well as techniques such as wrapping steps.
After coming to the Rhine Boxing Club, Paul brought Wang Hao some new things in technical details, as well as the improvement of his ability to resist strikes.
Although these skills are enough for Wang Hao to become a good boxing champion, Wang Hao still wants to go one step further and make his playing style and strength more destructive.
Wang Hao needs the same control as the middleweight hegemon Golovkin in his previous life, as well as penetrating jabs and heavy punches, and Wang Hao needs to make his fists, especially jabs, stick to his opponent.
Originally, Wang Hao wanted to wait until he got the first professional boxing title before mentioning it to William and Paul, but since William took the initiative to ask today, Wang Hao also mentioned it.
After hearing Wang Hao's idea of improving his skills, William immediately said that he would help Wang Hao find a suitable coach around the world.
Before leaving, William told Wang Hao that Wang Hao's appearance fee for the next game, whether he plays in the UK or the United States, will be doubled, and the ticket and TV broadcast income will be higher.
Hearing this information, Wang Hao was naturally very happy.
The last game between Hamburg and Scherf allowed Wang Hao to get an appearance fee of 250,000 US dollars, more than 600,000 US dollars in ticket and TV broadcast income, and the next game appearance fee doubled, and the ticket and TV broadcast income will be higher, which means that Wang Hao will receive at least 500,000 US dollars in appearance fees for the next game, plus ticket and TV broadcast revenue, it will easily exceed one million US dollars.
The income of a game is more than one million US dollars, which can be regarded as crossing a threshold of income for Wang Hao, this threshold, most fighters may not be able to cross it in their lifetime, and it only took Wang Hao a few months to reach this level.
Of course, Wang Hao knows that the rising income is all because the previous two games were wonderful enough, the market influence is steadily expanding, and the promotion company and TV station know that Wang Hao's game can attract audiences and be profitable, so that Wang Hao can get better game benefits.
After talking to William, Wang Hao devoted himself to intense and fulfilling training day after day, and waited for news from William.
A few days later, William finally got the news, and the negotiations with the promotion company and the Bulgarian fighter Nirras failed for some reason, and if Wang Hao wanted to fight as soon as possible, the best option was to fight the British fighter Firm, Lewis and McCall.
