Chapter 395: Press Conference (2)
At the pre-match press conference, after the interview with the two heavyweight champions Lewis and Holyfield, the reporters on the scene began to interview Wang Hao and his opponent, the WBO super lightweight number one challenger Srku.
A young reporter from Sky Sports in the UK first asked the current boxing champion Wang Hao.
She asked, "Mr. Wang Hao, you have achieved great results in the past year and have become a monument in the history of boxing, especially in the history of boxing in Asia!" You just had a great WBA title defense not too long ago! You defeated a formidable challenger, former World Olympic and World Champion Cuban fighter Hernandez in less than a round. A week from now, which will also be your first WBO title defense, how long do you plan to win it? ”
Wang Hao nodded, took the microphone and replied, "You know that none of my opponents in front of me have played the whole match with me, and this fight will be the same, I will end the fight as soon as possible and give a wonderful fight to the fans." ”
Immediately after, a young male reporter from South Korea's state television was given the opportunity to ask questions.
His question was also asked to Wang Hao.
The young male reporter of South Korea's state television, who was given the opportunity to ask a question, was so excited that he stood up, his face full of admiration and surprise, and even his voice trembled.
A reporter from South Korea's national television said: "Hello! Mr. Wang Hao, I am very, very honored to have the opportunity to ask you questions! ”
"You won Olympic and World Championship boxing titles in the amateur boxing era, and when you entered professional boxing, you won the championship belts in two major boxing organizations in just six fights. You are the pride of all Asians, and I adore you very, very much! ”
"Oh! I'm sorry! I forgot myself I introduced, I am a sports reporter from South Korean national television, my name is Kim You-kun! The reporter of South Korean national television, who admired Wang Hao too much, trembled and said a bunch of words of worship before remembering that he had not introduced himself.
Wang Hao looked at the Korean reporter who was so excited in front of him, smiled very calmly and nodded, signaling the other party to continue.
"My question is, when will you ever get a chance to play in Asia? It's best to be able to play a game in Korea, I think all Koreans will be very happy and welcome! That's the question I want to ask the most! Thank you! ”
Wang Hao nodded and replied: "Although I am already a professional boxing champion now, I haven't actually fought much, and later, I think I will have the opportunity to fight in Asia, China, South Korea, and Japan, and I am very much looking forward to it!" Of course, when you can make the trip depends on the arrangement of the broker! ”
At this time, William, who was sitting next to Wang Hao, also replied after Wang Hao answered: "We are also currently planning Wang Hao to fight in Tokyo, Japan, because so far, the most mature boxing market in Asia is still in Tokyo!" We will consider other countries if the opportunity is suitable! I have heard your proposal and hope that if Wang Hao returns to Asia to play in the future, South Korea is also among our considerations! ”
In fact, from the perspective of boxing agents, only Tokyo is suitable for fighting in Asia, especially for a competition of this level in the World Boxing Championship Challenge, and only Tokyo in Asia can currently host a professional boxing event of this scale.
At that time, William, as a boxing agent, naturally couldn't say anything about it, and the reporters of South Korean national television were so sincere and excited that they always had to give people a little hope, so William said that South Korea was also a possible place to consider.
But in reality, unless there is a big sponsor, there is no hope of going to South Korea.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Wang Hao, for your answer! The South Korean journalist's words were still full of emotion, and he thanked him and returned to his seat.
The next question came to a Mexican media outlet.
The question of a reporter from the Mexican media was asked of Wang Hao's challenger, Srcu.
"Mr. Srku! You are now the number one challenger in the WBO super lightweight division, and first of all, congratulations on your chance to challenge for the World Champion. I'd like to ask you what you can expect from this game. ”
Srku was a black fighter with a strong appearance and a long curly beard on his chin.
It seems that there is a sense of fierceness and evil, which makes people feel that his personality should also be more manic.
Wang Hao also met his opponent Srku for the first time a week later, and Srku reminded Wang Hao of Zhang Fei or Li Kui in classical Chinese literature, both in character and appearance, Srku is somewhat similar.
Srku is an excellent boxer, especially with a talent for strength, explosiveness, and resistance to strikes.
There are very few fighters in the ring who can withstand his indiscriminate bombardment, and even fewer fighters who can really hurt him.
The few fighters who defeated Srku also suffered huge physical injuries, and some even said goodbye to the ring.
So, Srku is also a very good, even terrible fighter.
However, Srku had never attended such a grand press conference before, and although he had participated in some small press conferences when he had played some relatively important matches before, they were all press conferences where only a few reporters were present, and they were not taken seriously.
It's not the same as today's press conference.
Moreover, Srku is sitting on the same stage with three world-famous boxing champions at the same time today, which makes Srku's mentality a little floating, and his arrogant and irascible personality begins to be revealed.
When Srku saw the reporter's question to him, he excitedly picked up the microphone and said, "I am very happy to see so many reporters and fan friends who are here to see my fight!" ”
"My muscles are as strong as steel, my jaw is as hard as a rock, I'm a natural killer, and I'm going to brutally finish Wang Hao this weekend! Let this Asian come here with excitement and return with defeat! ”
Srku's speech can be described as very arrogant, and when he spoke, he did not forget to look at Wang Hao's team, as if he wanted to spark on the scene.
At this time, Srku's coach, after Srku's speech, also said: "Srku has the most brutal striking power in the ultra-lightweight division, and I expect Srku to knock out Wang Hao in the first round and end the game." ”
Paul and Sanchez also stood up at this time, the two spread their hands, signaling the other party to let the horse come, Paul said: "Compared with Wang Hao, you are just a primary school student in the field of boxing, and next week's game will tell you that as a boxer, you are actually failing!" ”
Wang Hao sneered, did not get up, and did not speak, for a fighter like Srcu, it would be good to let Paul and Sanchez come forward, Wang Hao came forward to confront Srku at the press conference, undoubtedly to help the other party raise his value.
All Wang Hao has to do is brutally take down Srku in the ring a week later.
Srku and his coach tried to make a splash at the press conference, but it didn't work out, and no more reporters asked him about it.
At the subsequent press conference, the draw was held for the order of appearance of Holyfield and Lewis, and since Holyfield and Lewis are both active world heavyweight champions, it is not appropriate for anyone to play first, so it can only depend on luck to draw lots.
The draw was made in the form of a coin toss, and in the presence of Don King and Mark Ratna, an official of the Nevada Boxing Sports Association, Holyfield won the game of guessing the coin and was given the chance to play later.
The pre-match press conference ended, and after the press conference, Wang Hao did not return to Big Bear Mountain, and William rented a venue in New York and completed the last week of training directly there.
Time has passed, and finally, Wang Hao's first WBO title defense match at Madison Square Garden in New York is coming.
