Chapter 226: Wang Hao's International Boxing Federation Rankings and World Championship Prospects

Bian Fang is the head coach of the national boxing team, overseeing the men's and women's teams of the national boxing team, which is under the supervision of Director Cheng of the Combat Sports Center of the General Administration of Sports of China.

Bian Fang is in his early forties, but he already has some gray hair on his head, and he looks very energetic with a flat hairstyle, and he is only more than 1.7 meters tall, but he is very strong.

Bian Fang used to be the main member of the national boxing men's team, used to be the top boxer of 69 kg in China, and also participated in some international competitions, although there was no international achievement, but with domestic results and good connections, he also successfully stayed in the national boxing team as an assistant coach after retiring.

Later, through personal efforts, he successfully became a coach from an assistant coach, and then became the head coach of the women's national boxing team, and finally after the retirement of the head coach of the previous national boxing team, Bian Fang was successfully promoted to the vacant head coach position.

As the only internationally competitive boxer in the national boxing team, Wang Hao is also the only excellent boxer who can be called a star boxer, and is highly valued by Director Cheng of the Fight Sports Center, Bian Fang naturally respects and supports Wang Hao very much.

Although as the head coach, Bian Fang does not treat Wang Hao as a subordinate, but gets along with each other in a form close to the same level, more like the relationship between a brother and a colleague, Wang Hao has any needs, Bian Fang is trying his best to meet them, and Bian Fang will not interfere with Wang Hao's training, even if he feels that there is something wrong with Wang Hao's training, Bian Fang communicates with Wang Hao with a discussion attitude, and never imposes his will on Wang Hao.

Bian Fang knows that Wang Hao, as the only boxer here with a world championship title, although it is only a junior world championship title, he is still the best boxer with the best results since the establishment of the national boxing team.

The most important thing is that Wang Hao's world junior championship was achieved before entering the national boxing team, which means that Wang Hao basically relied on his personal efforts to achieve the results of the world championship.

Therefore, although Wang Hao is now a boxer of the national boxing team, and the national boxing team has the responsibility to provide resources and training for Wang Hao, Bian Fang knows that if he wants Wang Hao to continue to make achievements, the national boxing team will focus on ensuring Wang Hao's training resources, but the specific training technology is still as little interference as possible.

Therefore, every time Wang Hao went to Ukraine for training in the past two years, the training fee was paid by the national boxing team, and then in terms of specific training, if Wang Hao did not have special needs, the coaches of the national boxing team such as Bian Fang would not easily provide guidance according to their own will.

Wang Hao and Bian Fang sat down on a bench next to the ring, and the other fighters saw that Bian Fang and Wang Hao had something to say, so they left while discussing and reminiscing about Wang Hao's wonderful knockdowns just now.

Sitting on the bench, Bian Fang smiled and said to Wang Hao how he felt after watching Wang Hao's game: "I watched the second half and the third game of your second game just now, and your strength and confrontation ability have improved significantly compared to a year ago, and today's knockdown is very shocking!" ”

Wang Hao smiled and nodded, he also had a clear sense of the progress of his strength.

"Let's talk about this year's World Boxing Championships!" Bian Fang began to talk about the key things about finding Wang Hao.

"This year's World Boxing Championships will be held next month, in Hamburg, Germany!" Bian Fang said slowly, "Today I went to the bureau for a meeting, and I also focused on exchanging and discussing this matter. ”

The national boxing team is not valued because of its few international achievements, and there are not many opportunities to participate in the bureau meetings before international competitions, and the reason why Bian Fang has this opportunity to go this time is mainly because Wang Hao participated in this World Boxing Championships.

Wang Hao quietly listened to Bian Fang's narration, this year's World Boxing Championships, Wang Hao has been preparing for a long time, this is the first international competition since Wang Hao began to play adult amateur boxing, the first competition with a world championship title, Wang Hao has long known that this year's competition will be held in Hamburg, but the organizers have not determined a specific date, this time it is officially determined.

"Only 32 fighters from each division will participate in this competition, that is, the top 32 fighters ranked by the National Boxing Federation can participate in this World Boxing Championship. Unless there are fighters in front of them who do not participate for various reasons, fighters other than the thirty-two will have a chance to participate. ”

Speaking of this, Bian Fang said: "You can participate in the competition this time, naturally you already have a ranking in the International Boxing Federation, you may not know it yet, let me tell you your current ranking." ”

Hearing his ranking in the International Boxing Federation, Wang Hao was also immediately interested.

Because Wang Hao was not old enough before, and he was playing youth competitions, Wang Hao's name has not been in the International Boxing Federation's ranking of global amateur fighters.

It is only in recent months that Wang Hao has reached the criteria for participating in adult competitions, and has some competition results in China, plus the results of the previous stage of junior boxers, especially the junior boxing championship champions, as a reference for the ranking, Wang Hao has a ranking of the International Boxing Federation 64kg boxer.

Wang Hao is still very concerned about his ranking in the International Boxing Federation.

"You're in a good ranking!" Bian Fang said, "It's the first time I've seen a fighter who has just entered the International Boxing Federation Adult Fighter Rankings and has not participated in an international competition for adult fighters, and the results are so high! ”

Bian Fang continued: "You are currently ranked 23rd among the 64kg global boxers in the International Boxing Federation! You are the highest ranked Chinese fighter in this division, and among all Asian fighters, there is only one Japanese fighter, Kosuke Fuji of Japan, ranked nineteenth, a little ahead of you! And your amateur boxing record in the International Boxing Federation is currently one hundred and eight victories and zero defeats! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, not only did you win all the amateur boxing fights you've ever competed in, but all of them so far should have been won by knockout!" Bian Fang suddenly remembered something, and his eyes were also full of shock.

Wang Hao nodded, the International Boxing Federation's count of its own fights includes all international competitions in the junior boxer stage, as well as some important domestic matches, otherwise there would not be so many fights.

Wang Hao naturally clearly remembers that in his more than 100 games, all the victories were won in the form of KO, but Wang Hao was still quite surprised that Bian Fang could understand it so clearly, and Wang Hao knew that Bian Fang must also be attentive.

For this ranking, Wang Hao is basically acceptable, after all, he has been in adult amateur boxing for a very short time, judging from Wang Hao's current adult amateur boxing results, this ranking is actually quite high, and a large part of it is considering that Wang Hao has won the championship of the youth boxing championship.

Wang Hao knows that this year's World Boxing Championships is an opportunity to prove his strength in adult boxing and greatly improve the ranking of the International Boxing Federation, the gold medal content of the World Boxing Championships is second only to the Olympic gold medal, Wang Hao's goal this time is to win the 64 kg championship of this year's World Boxing Championships.

"Who are the strongest fighters participating in this year's World Boxing Championships?" Wang Hao also asked.

"There are a few!" Bian Fang had already made an acquaintance with the main fighters, he nodded, and said, "The highest boxer in the world ranking of the International Boxing Federation at the World Boxing Championships in Hamburg is the Bulgarian Ichikov, the silver medalist in the 64kg class at the Barcelona Olympics in '92, and his main technical characteristics are fierce punches, fast speed, and tricky angles!" ”

"Bulgarian Ichkov always likes to wear red shorts and clothes in boxing matches, and he punches like a poisonous snake, fast and fierce, so people gave him the nickname 'Red Cobra'!"

Bian continued: "He is ranked third in the International Boxing Federation 64kg division! ”

Ranked third!

To be able to win the Olympic boxing silver medal, Wang Hao knew that Bulgarian "Red Cobra" Ichkov must be a very strong boxer, but Wang Hao did not expect that his ranking in the International Boxing Federation was only third, which made Wang Hao have a great interest in the first and second ranked fighters.

Bian Fang continued to say that the strongest fighters in this tournament are also the highest-ranked fighters in the current International Boxing Federation.

"In this World Championships, there is actually an Olympic champion and a world champion, but they have all risen from the 60kg class and have not yet played a major match in the 64kg class! So the ranking in the National Boxing Federation is still a little behind the Bulgarian "Red Cobra" Ichkov! ”

"The first of these two is the 60kg champion of the Barcelona Olympics in '92, the Russian Nagaev, who has a comprehensive technical system and a tough style of play, and has been given the nickname 'Hammerhead'!"

The Russians "hammer head" Nagaev!

Wang Hao also took the name of this Olympic champion to heart, and it is obvious that Nagaev will also be one of Wang Hao's strongest opponents at this World Boxing Championships.

"The other person is the champion of the 60kg class at the last World Championships, the Cuban boxer 'Havana riffraff' Latiz." Bian Fang continued, "He has very good skills, speed and reaction are very fast! ”

Hearing Latiz's name, Wang Hao also smiled.

At the World Junior Boxing Championships more than two years ago, Wang Hao and Latiz met in the semifinals, when Wang Hao relied on left-hand fighting and knocked out Latiz to win.

At that time, Wang Hao knew that Latiz was a difficult boxer to deal with, and Latiz was the favorite to win the World Junior Boxing Championships, but he only met Wang Hao in advance, so he could only get a tie for third place.

Latiz is older than Wang Hao, it should be after the end of that World Youth Boxing Championships, he began to play adult boxing competitions, judging from the results, Wang Hao knows that Latiz is obviously also a great improvement, and he can win the World Championships, which shows that Latiz is at least a top fighter in the 60kg class, and he must be one of the best fighters when he rises to the 64kg class.

Wang Hao knows that although he has won Latiz once, if he is not fully prepared, he may not be able to win Latiz every time, and what progress has been made in Latiz's technology in the past two years, Wang Hao still does not know that Wang Hao regards Latiz as one of his biggest opponents in this World Youth Boxing Championship.

Bian Fang continued, Wang Hao needs special attention, another main opponent.

"The last high-ranking opponent to watch out for is American fighter Jill "White Dynamite" Vargers! He has a well-rounded technique, fierce punches, and was once the American Golden Glove Champion when he was a teenager! At the last World Adult Boxing Championship, Jill Vanjes lost to the future champion by points and won the bronze medal! ”

Hearing the name of Jill Watters, Wang Hao knew that in this World Boxing Championships, he faced many new opponents, but there were also many old opponents, all of whom were the most dominant fighters in the world when they were teenagers.

In the World Junior Boxing Championships when Wang Hao won the championship, Jill Varjes was also one of the four favorites to win the championship at that time, but he met the Soviet national junior champion Kamenlev, who won the runner-up later, in advance, resulting in not being able to get a good name in the end.

Even if it is the same, Wang Hao knows that Jill Vargers is very strong, after all, he has the qualifications of the American Golden Glove champion, and the opportunities he may encounter in international competitions are not so good in the game, so he has not been able to win the championship in major competitions, which is why he is not as good as Latitz.

Wang Hao has not fought Jill Vargers in previous matches, but in the World Junior Boxing Championships where Wang Hao won the championship, Wang Hao once knocked out Gil Vargers' younger brother Carl Vargers in the group stage.

Bian Fang introduced the main fighters who he thought were the biggest threat to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao also wrote down their information.

Wang Hao knows that there are many masters of adult amateur boxers in the world, but many of them will retire in their thirties, or enter professional boxing at a young age, or some retire early due to injury.

So good young fighters like Jill Varjes and Latiz are just some of the best adult fighters in the world, and that's part of the reason why they can quickly make it to national tournaments when they enter adult amateur boxing.

After introducing the main fighters, Bian Fang took out a folded A4 white paper from his pocket.

Taking it apart and handing it to Wang Hao, Bian Fang said, "This is the list of 64kg fighters I printed out who are currently ranked in the world ahead of you!" I guess you'll be interested, check it out! ”

Wang Hao took over the list and looked at the top two fighters first.
