Ichkov won the match against Russian boxer Nagaev, so that the two fighters in the 64kg final of this year's World Championships will be produced, Wang Hao from China and Ichikov from Bulgaria will compete on the same stage for the gold medal in the 64kg category at this year's World Championships.

Ichkov, ranked third in the 64kg category at the International Boxing Federation, is the highest-ranked fighter in the 64kg category at the World Boxing Championships, and it makes sense that he will make it to the final.

Wang Hao, on the other hand, ranked 23rd in the International Boxing Federation (FIF) rankings, has been riding high and knocking out Japanese boxer Kosuke Fuji and Nigerian boxer Borg, who are much higher than his ranking, as well as the top 10 Cuban boxer Latiz and American boxer Jill Varjes, who are ranked in the top 10 of the International Boxing Federation, and reached the finals and became the biggest dark horse of this event.

In particular, Wang Hao knocked out all the strong opponents he encountered, which is very shocking, because after all, for a boxing match, there is still a big difference between winning by points and winning by knockout.

Today's two semi-finals in the 64kg class can be said to be very exciting, and the audience at the scene is enjoying themselves at the same time, they also have infinite reverie for Wang Hao and Ichkov's next finals.

"Both fights were KO wins! Wang Hao and Ichkov seem to be both power-type fighters! An audience member at the scene said, "I don't know who can win in the end when the two meet!" ”

"I'm also looking forward to it, Chinese boxer Wang Hao can be said to have sprung up in this World Championships and made great progress all the way, but Ichkov is also the strongest fighter to participate in this tournament, especially he also knocked out the world's No. 5 Nagaev today, there is a big suspense about whether Wang Hao can continue the dark horse trend!" Another viewer said.

"In my opinion! Both men are power-type, high-knockout fighters, but it looks as if Ichkov has more power and more experience, while Wang Hao looks a little faster and more technically delicate! Another audience member next to him said, "The suspense of the final between the two is very high, and whoever wins is possible, but based on the high knockdown rate of both of them, I feel that the chance of the final decision of the game with points is not very large!" ”

With all kinds of predictions and ideas, the audience is looking forward to the final between Wang Hao and Ichkov in two days.

On the night of the semi-finals, Atoli Lomachenko discussed with Wang Hao and formulated a game strategy.

Atoli Lomachenko's strategy for Wang Hao was to move back and forth more, allowing Wang Hao to use his speed advantage to land more straight punches in the middle.

"Ichkov has a lot of power, and he has a good hook, a lot of power and a lot of speed, and Nagaev lost today because he got too many hooks from Ichkov," Lomachenko said. ”

"For Ichkov's style of fighting, you have to pay attention to the fight, and when you are within Ichkov's attack range, you must move back and forth, and try not to move left and right." Atoly Lomachenko continued.

Wang Hao nodded, he could understand what Atoli Lomachenko meant, Ichkov punched well, if Wang Hao was still within Ichkov's attack distance, he would easily be hit by Ichkov's hook.

Ichkov's hook was so powerful that if he was hit again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Hao remembered Joshua, the dominant young boxing champion in the British heavyweight division in the previous life, although Joshua is very tall, but he has a very strong close-range fight, especially the mid-to-close uppercuts are very threatening.

A lot of heavyweights are tall, have long arm spans, and have a close-range style of play, but Joshua has used his excellent skills at close range to knock out his opponents and win many of his important fights.

For example, in Joshua's fight with Vladimir Klitschko at that time, Joshua used a close-range uppercut to finally knock out Vladimir Klitschko.

But when Joshua's technique was used against Ruiz, the Mexican fat man behind him, something went terribly wrong.

Ruiz has a short arm span and low height and is good at hooking, and while Joshua was still playing his best mid-range and close-range play, he was finally met by Ruiz in a mid-to-close left-right move, and finally lost the fight because of this heavy blow.

Although Joshua won the match in the rematch, the first defeat of his career was inevitable.

Wang Hao listened to the game strategy that Atoli Lomachenko developed for him, and thought about it in combination with Joshua's classic loss, Wang Hao was able to understand Atoli Lomachenko's intentions very well.

For opponents who are good at hooking, especially those with quick hooks, try not to move left and right within his attack range, but should move away from the opponent's attack range as soon as possible.

Atoly Lomachenko continued: "Although Nagaev moved mainly back and forth today, and threw more straight punches, due to the speed, Ichkov's hooks were fast, and Nagaev's movement speed was a little worse, so Nagaev was still hit by Ichkov a lot of hooks. ”

"Luckily, you're going to be able to move a lot faster than Nagaev, so I think it's a viable strategy to move forward and backward with straight punches, while paying attention to your speed and timing."

Atoly Lomachenko continued.

"It's mainly a straight punch in the middle, and you can also play a close-range uppercut when appropriate, and Ichkov's arm span is about the same as yours, and Ichkov's hook can't be used at close range."

Wang Hao nodded, feeling that the game strategy that Atoli Lomachenko had developed for himself was still very appropriate, and it was based on experience.

Wang Hao and Atoli Lomachenko discussed some details and then decided on the game strategy.

In the match with Ichkov, Wang Hao will mainly play long-distance straight punches and close-range uppercuts, while moving forward and backward, with the main purpose of limiting Ichkov's best hooks.

In the two days before the start of the game, according to the formulated game strategy, Wang Hao began intensive pre-game adaptation training in the training ground of the Chinese national team.

The head coach of the national team, Bian Fang, also found a boxer from a European national team who has a good relationship with the Chinese team and has a similar arm span to Wang Hao, and is also a good swing boxer, and fought with Wang Hao for a few rounds, which allowed Wang Hao to better adapt to Ichkov's style of play.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the World Championship finals is coming, and today the World Championships will determine the final champion at all levels.

Hamburg's athletic center was also packed today, with nearly 10,000 spectators packed.

Wang Hao came to the scene early, and after successfully passing the weighing, he came to the lounge to do pre-match preparations, although this is Wang Hao's first time participating in the world-class finals of adult boxing competitions, but Wang Hao is not emotionally nervous, and he seems very calm.

Two acquaintances also came to Wang Hao's lounge before the start of the game, they were unusually tall and strong, and they were the first two of the Klitschko brothers.

A week ago, Wang Hao went to Berlin to watch Vitaly Klitschko's WBO World Boxing Challenge, and after the match, Vitaly Klitschko said that he wanted to come to Hamburg to watch Wang Hao's match.

Today is the final final, and Brother Klitschko has already bought tickets in advance and will be there early in the morning.

Wang Hao was very happy to see the arrival of Brother Klitschko, and he hugged Vitaly Klitschko and Vladimir Klitschko successively, and greeted each other.

Atoly Lomachenko was also very happy to see Klitschko's brother arrive, and he hugged the two brothers and explained to Vitaly Klitschko why he couldn't go to Berlin to see his first World Champion Challenge.

Vitaly Klitschko invited Atoli Lomachenko to watch the WBO World Boxing Championship Challenge, but because Atoli Lomachenko had something to do, this was the first time the two met after Vitaly Klitschko became the WBO World Boxing Champion, and Atoli Lomachenko naturally had to make a special explanation.

The four of them talked and laughed and chatted very happily for a while, and then Brother Klitschko took his leave for the time being.

Vitaly Klitschko said to Wang Hao: "We don't take up any more of your time, let's go to the scene first, and when your game is over, we will celebrate together." ”

Soon, it was time for the final of the 64 kg class, and in the introduction of the host on the spot, Wang Hao and Ichkov appeared one after another.

Wang Hao wore yellow shorts and a vest today, while Ichkov was still wearing his favorite red shorts and tank top, and wore red gloves.

Wang Hao and Ichkov maintained a high knockout rate at this World Championships, especially Wang Hao, who won all the matches by KO and was the biggest dark horse in this tournament.

The upcoming match between the two aroused the emotions of many spectators at the scene.

"It's finally time for Wang Hao and Ichkov to fight, this is the most likely knockdown match today!" A spectator who had been looking forward to the start of the match between the two said.

"Who do you think will win, Wang Hao or Ichkov?" Some viewers also asked their friends who were watching boxing together.

"I think Ichkov will win, after all, he has more experience in the game, twenty-nine years old, which is the age when he is at his best physically, technically and experienced!" Someone replied.

"I think Wang Hao has a better chance of winning!" Someone else replied, "This Wang Hao from China has won a lot of incredible victories in this competition, and I think Wang Hao can still win this competition!" ”

In the anticipation and discussion of the audience, Wang Hao and Ichkov stepped into the ring one after another.

Atoli Lomachenko watched Wang Hao take the stage under the ring with full attention, today is the final of the World Boxing Championships, whether this victory can be won is very important for Wang Hao.

Although Atoli Lomachenko waited very intently for the start of the match, he behaved calmly and without many emotional fluctuations, showing the poise of a master of boxing skills.

In comparison, Bian Fang and Sun Zeyong are a little excited, after all, today is the final final, if Wang Hao can win a gold medal in the World Championships, it will be of great significance to the Chinese national boxing team, Bian Fang and Sun Zeyong's expectations and nervousness are revealed.

The head coach of the Bulgarian national team also watched Ichkov take the stage under the ring, and his face was also a little serious.

The head coach of the Bulgarian international team regarded Ichkov's match today as the most difficult game of this World Championships, much more difficult than the previous match against Nagaev.

Because, after such a long game, the head coach of the Bulgarian national team has seen that Wang Hao is a thorough boxing genius, whether it is technique, speed, reaction or strength, he is very good, and there are almost no shortcomings.

Especially the head coach of the Bulgarian national team, who saw Atoli Lomachenko in Wang Hao's coaching team at the scene of the last game, made the head coach of the Bulgarian national team also chuckle in his heart, and also understood why Wang Hao became the biggest dark horse in this tournament and why Wang Hao, as a native of China, can have world-class skills.

The two days of preparation for the game also made the head coach of the Bulgarian national team rack his brains and prepare several sets of game strategies for Ichkov, and the head coach of the Bulgarian national team hopes that these game strategies can work and allow Ichkov to win today's game smoothly.

The race is about to begin!

The experienced on-field referee from Germany began to repeat the game notes to Wang Hao and Ichkov.

Jingle Bell Bell!

The bell rang, and the final of the 64kg World Championships, the match between Wang Hao and Bulgarian boxer Ichkov officially began!

The training ground at the Hamburg Athletic Center quickly fell silent, and all the spectators were focused on the central ring to watch the match that had begun.

At the beginning of the match, Wang Hao and Ichkov were more cautious, and the two tried to test with jabs first.

Boom!

Wang Hao threw a jab and tried to tap Ichkov's forehead, but the latter dodged Wang Hao's jab with a small sliding step, and then immediately hit a jab back against Wang.

Sou!

Wang Hao's reaction was also very fast, and he dodged Ichkov's jab with a backward lean that he made immediately.

The two threw several jabs back and forth, and Wang Hao found that although Ichkov was slightly shorter than his height, he was a long-arm boxer, and his arm span was almost equal to his own.

These back-and-forth jabs came down, giving Wang Hao a certain feeling for Ichkov's arm span and rhythm.

Sou!

Wang Hao spotted an open space in the middle of Ichkov, quickly moved forward, and landed a straight forehand that hit Ichkov's face.

Sou!

Then Wang Hao retreated with another sliding step, and opened up a distance from Ichkov, and at the same time, Ichkov's left and right hand hooks punched past Wang Hao.
