Wang Hao himself is a double champion of the Olympic Games and the World Championships, coupled with the identity of an Asian boxer, so after just entering the professional boxing world, he has attracted the attention of the international boxing community, when Wang Hao won four battles, and all knocked out opponents to win, and obtained the qualification to challenge the WBA World Professional Boxing Championship, boxing magazine will Wang Hao as the best new boxer of the year candidate boxer.
Joining Wang Hao in the Boxer of the Year selection is Fernand Vargas, a former American Golden Glove winner and one of the four kings of the middleweight division, who has just entered the welterweight division; Atlanta Olympic 70kg champion David Reid, who is also an American boxer who has just entered the professional boxing world after the Olympics; As well as also entered the professional boxing world after the Atlanta Olympics, and later very

Whether it is Fernand Vargas or Judach, or Morales, Barella and Vladimir Klitschko, they are all future professional boxing world champions, and they all held several boxing belts at the same time, and even dominated a division, even among them, David Red, the least influential middleweight fighter in professional boxing, once won the middleweight gold belt
Bring.
Of course, for the boxing magazine, which is known as the bible of boxing, the competition for every honor every year is very fierce, but the competition for the best new fighter this year is particularly fierce.
All the selections were voted for by the most senior figures in the professional boxing field, and Wang Hao defeated Fernand Vargas, Youdah, Morales, Barella and Vladimir Klitschko as the latest fighter of the year, which is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Wang Hao's achievements and strength in boxing magazines and the professional boxing world.
William has been paying attention to the news, and after getting the results of the selection for the first time, William naturally immediately found Wang Hao and told Wang Hao the good news.
William found Wang Hao in the indoor training venue of the Summit Boxing Gym, and Wang Hao's coaches Paul, Sanchez and others were also present.
Wang Hao, who heard the good news, was naturally very happy, the honors of the boxing magazine, evaluated once a year, were only awarded to the best boxers of the year, it should be said that winning the honor of the boxing magazine is more difficult than winning a world boxing title.
And the best new boxer of the year has a more special significance, after all, other awards, such as the best boxing match and the best boxer of the year, as long as the professional boxer has not retired, can participate in the selection, and the best new talent of the year, only the boxer in the first year of entering the professional boxing world has the opportunity to participate in the selection, if you miss it, when the first year of professional boxing passes, there will be no chance to win the best new talent.
Paul, Sanchez and others also heard what William said, and they were also very happy, even happier than Wang Hao himself, who won the best new boxer.
Although Paul and Sanchez are both famous coaches and have produced some excellent boxers, they have never produced top boxers, and the boxers they have trained before may have the hope of becoming World Champion title challengers, and even when they play well, they can win the World Championship title and keep it for a short time, but these fighters have no hope of competing for the annual selection of boxing magazines, they are not so good
That level.
And cultivating the best boxer in boxing, a fighter at the P4P level, a boxer of the year in boxing magazine, is the expectation of every coach, and Paul and Sanchez naturally have this expectation, and it is very strong, this is the goal they strive for.
It's just that the fighters they met before, there is no way for Paul and Sanchez to achieve such a goal, but Paul and Sanchez know that Wang Hao can, and Wang Hao has just won the best new talent in boxing magazine, and it is also the first time that Paul and Sanchez have cultivated a fighter to win the honor of boxing magazine.
Paul and Sanchez are happy, even touched and grateful, and they are very grateful to have the opportunity to work with Wang Hao in their careers, which has given them the opportunity to step into the ranks of the best coaches in the world, and even hopefully be voted the best coach in boxing magazine.
"Boxing Magazine's annual event is coming to New York next weekend!" William continued, "The four of us were also invited to this year's Boxing Magazine Annual Event! ”
Boxing Magazine has been published for nearly 70 years, longer than Time Magazine, is the most prestigious and authoritative journal in the field of boxing, known as the bible of boxing, boxing magazine organizes annual meetings every year, and only the most outstanding professional boxing celebrities are invited to participate.
Wang Hao was invited to participate, on the one hand, because Wang Hao is the best new fighter of the year, and on the other hand, because Wang Hao's achievements and strength have been widely recognized by the boxing community.
Although Wang Hao's training time is very tight, and there is more than a month is the Chinese New Year, according to the plan, Wang Hao plans to take a long vacation to return to China for the Spring Festival, but the boxing industry such a boxing event like the boxing magazine annual meeting, Wang Hao still does not plan to miss it, Wang Hao immediately decided to attend the meeting, and then return to China after the annual meeting of the boxing magazine for the Spring Festival.
Paul and Sanchez were also very pleasantly surprised when they heard this information, this was the first time they had the opportunity to participate in the annual meeting of boxing magazine, and they were a little flattered, but Paul and Sanchez also clearly knew that they had the opportunity to participate, all because of Wang Hao's outstanding performance this year, Wang Hao was invited to participate in the annual meeting of boxing magazine because he was selected as the best new fighter of the year, and Paul and Sanchez were several
It was completely as Wang Hao's main team member, so he was invited.
"In addition to these two pieces of information, there is some information that needs to be told to you!" After saying everything about boxing magazine's annual event, William continued, "It's about your next fight. About the title defense of the two major boxing titles! ”
Wang Hao listened carefully to William's words, Wang Hao has now become the ultra-lightweight champion of the two major boxing organizations, and naturally needs to fight some title defenses, and may even be mandatory title defenses.
But in Wang Hao's impression, he has just won these two boxing titles, especially the WBO super lightweight boxing title has just been obtained, and the WBA boxing title has only been won for three months, is it so fast to defend the title?
Wang Hao thought in his heart, hoping that the title defense would not come during the Spring Festival, Wang Hao has not been home for nearly a year, this year Wang Hao's career is thriving, although Wang Hao is a workaholic, but it is not the kind of 365 days a year, Wang Hao still wants to return to China this Spring Festival to accompany his parents, and to meet his old friends in Dongyue City, Taishan Boxing Club and the national boxing team.
Wang Hao continued to listen attentively to William's words, hoping that the title defense would not come too early, at least so that he could have a peaceful Spring Festival.
William said: "I just got the news in the last few days that you currently have a legal challenger in each of these two boxing organizations, and the legal challenger of the WBO is a boxer from the United States, named Srku, who is a white boxer and is currently ranked sixth in the WBO super lightweight division. ”
"Srku is from Texas, USA, Chinese New Year's Eve, and has a nickname called 'Texas Reaper,' because Srku is very, very fierce, and always doesn't knock out opponents in the ring. Twenty-six victories and five defeats in Srku's 31 fights have been won by knockouts. ”
"Srku has a high knockout rate, and it's strange that all of his defeats have been knockout failures!"
William gave a brief overview of Srku's basic condition.
"I know a little bit about Srku, and he used to lease my Big Bear Mountain Peak gym for short-term training!" Sanchez is also the same at this time, as a boxing coach who has been rooted in the United States for a long time, Sanchez has naturally heard of most of the well-known professional boxers in the United States, "He is a very peculiar boxer, his personality is also relatively eccentric, he lacks patience in doing things, and he likes to bomb indiscriminately in the ring!" Technically decent, not very good,
Mainly a fierce fighter with good strength conditions! ”
Wang Hao listened carefully to William's introduction and Sanchez's speech, Wang Hao felt that Srku's fighter style is indeed very obvious, that is, an offensive fighter, the highlight is that he has a very high knockout rate, and the shortcomings From the previous game data, if Srku can't knock down the opponent, he will often be knocked down by the opponent.
"That's right! I add! Sanchez continued, "As far as I know about Srcu before, the number of victories of this fighter is often able to knock out opponents in the first four rounds, and although the defeats are all knocked out by opponents, they basically last until eight rounds, this is my impression, I will go back and carefully check Srku's information and study his fight video!" ”
Wang Hao nodded, there is Sanchez who already knows something about Srku, Wang Hao naturally does not have to worry about not knowing enough about the opponent, Sanchez is an excellent coach, Wang Hao believes that Sanchez will do his job well.
From the current introduction of Srku by Sanchez, Wang Hao also read some information, that is, when Srku knocks down an opponent, he can often end the game in the first four rounds, and when he is knocked down by the opponent, he can often hold on to eight rounds, which shows that Srku's strength and ability to resist hitting are very strong.
However, for Wang Hao, who intends to go home for the Spring Festival, the most concerned issue at present is the timing of the game, Wang Hao asked: "Does the WBO have any time requirements for this title defending?" “
The boxing champions of the four major boxing organizations have to accept the challenge of the challenger, some of which will be mandatory challenges, if the boxing champion can not accept the challenge of the legal challenger within the specified time, he will be deprived of the title of boxing champion, such a situation has happened many times in the field of professional boxing, after all, the four major boxing organizations rarely or almost impossible to change the rules because of a certain boxer, which involves the credibility and vitality of the boxing organization
things.
Willian said: "This fight, because we have just won the WBO title, the WBO is not strict, as long as we accept the challenge of Srku within five months! “
But then, William changed his words and continued: "But the situation in the WBA is more troublesome, originally our mandatory challenger was a Russian fighter ranked eighth in the WBA, but the Russian fighter gave up this opportunity because of an injury in training, so this opportunity fell to Hernandez, who is currently ranked 11th in the WBA!" “
"Hernandez!" When Wang Hao heard this name and his ranking in the WBA, he naturally knew that this Hernandez was the king of the 64kg amateur boxing field before Wang Hao's rise, that is, the Cuban boxer that Wang Hao defeated at the Atlanta Olympics, Hernandez.
Moreover, Hernandez, who has not lost a game for ten years, is angry about losing to Wang Hao in the Olympic finals, and after Wang Hao entered the professional boxing world, he quickly followed Wang Hao's steps into the professional boxing ring, and also mainly played in the WBA boxing organization that Wang Hao focused on, and beat Wang Hao and Chavisz in the match where Wang Hao defeated Chavisz to win the WBA super lightweight boxing title
In the mat game, he won the opponent and immediately challenged Wang Hao after the victory.
Moreover, there is no professional boxing in Cuba, and in order to enter professional boxing, Hernandez smuggled to the United States, that is, he gave up all his honors in Cuba, which shows how much the loss to Wang Hao has an impact on Hernandez, and it also shows Hernandez's willpower and determination to take revenge on Wang Hao.
Wang Hao naturally knew that Hernandez wanted to fight with him again in the professional boxing field, but Wang Hao didn't expect it to come so soon, and Wang Hao's opponent in the first WBA title defense match turned out to be Hernandez.
"Yes!" William continued, "Because you won the WBA title three months ago, according to the WBA's requirements, you need to defend your title as soon as possible, and after our consultation, the WBA agrees that you will play the legal title defense within two months, otherwise you will be stripped of the WBA title, unless your legal challenger also agrees to the postponement of the match. “
"But Hernandez will not accept the postponement of the forced title defense!" William continued, "We've consulted Hernandez himself and their team a few times, and they didn't agree to the extension and were very tough, claiming that it's either fight or you give up the WBA title! ”
