When William found Wang Hao and Paul in the training hall of the Rheinland Boxing Club, Wang Hao had just finished a training session and was resting on a recliner next to the ring.

And Paul is massaging Wang Hao's shoulder and neck muscles, so that Wang Hao's tense muscles due to training can rest and recover as soon as possible.

Seeing William coming, Wang Hao and Paul knew that there must be news about the arrangement of the WBA Boxing Championship Challenge.

William was a little serious and said, "Things have changed! ”

Wang Hao and Paul glanced at each other, and it seemed that William was not necessarily good news.

William said: "In this short period of time, there has been a sudden situation in the ultra-lightweight division, and the pattern has changed a lot. These changes have just happened, the media haven't had time to announce them, and I've just gotten the inside scoop. ”

Presumably, the change in the pattern of the ultra-lightweight division that William said will have a lot to do with the WBA Champion Challenge, otherwise William would not be so solemn, Wang Hao and Paul listened carefully.

William continued: "The current ultra-lightweight champion of WBC, De La Hoya, has confirmed that he will move up to welterweight, and he will land in welterweight in a little more than a month to fight his first fight in the welterweight division, and will soon challenge the current welterweight WBC champion Vitak. At the same time, de la Hoya will give up his WBC super lightweight belt and will not return to the super lightweight division! ”

After hearing this information, Paul was more surprised, and he said in amazement: "De La Hoya has been upgraded so quickly, I remember when he debuted in professional boxing, he was a lightweight, and he was promoted to lightweight after winning the WBO welterweight belt in a year, and then he fought in the lightweight division for more than a year, won the WBO and IBF lightweight belts, and then rose to super lightweight." And it's only been a year since he was promoted to super lightweight, and he has been upgraded again so quickly! After being promoted to welterweight, he has already fought in four divisions within a few years of his debut, and such frequent upgrades are not a good thing for a fighter! ”

Compared with Paul's surprise, Wang Hao, who heard the news, was very calm.

Wang Hao, who has experienced the previous life, knows that De La Hoya, one of the four small kings of the middleweight division, will eventually become a six-level boxing champion, which means that in the end, De La Hoya will win the gold belt in the six divisions from welterweight to middleweight, which means that de La Hoya has been upgraded all the way and has won the title of boxing champion in six divisions: welterweight, lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight, super welterweight and middleweight.

Frequent weight gains in professional boxing can be a no-no, but de la Hoya is no ordinary champion, and his control of his weight is so subtle that he would become the first champion in boxing history to win the title in all six divisions.

In contrast, the other three of the middleweight four, Vargas, Moseley, and Trinidad, have also won the gold belt in two or three divisions, and in that regard, de la Hoya is stronger than the other three of the middleweight four, and more than the other fighters in history, including Mayweather.

This record was only broken by Pacquiao later, who won eight divisions from bantamweight to welterweight.

If you take the ranking of the most boxing champions in the boxing belt, and use the analogy of the strength of the characters in the playing cards, Pacquiao is the king, and de la Hoya is the king, and Mayweather, who has won the title of five divisions, may be the king of hearts.

Because of the experience of the previous life, Wang Hao was not surprised at all after learning that de la Hoya was going to be promoted to welterweight, he knew that de la Hoya would play as well as he did in the ultra-lightweight division, but later he met Trinidad, the four small kings of the middleweight division who was born to start in the welterweight division, and de la Hoya had no way to take advantage of the confrontation.

William nodded, agreeing with Paul's opinion, as a boxing agent, he has seen too many good fighters, and there are many examples of frequent upgrades that lead to poor strength.

William continued: "In fact, the current super lightweight champion is not the only one who has been upgraded, the current WBO super lightweight champion Moseley has also followed in the footsteps of de la Hoya and decided to upgrade, because the next fight has been decided, he will be upgraded to welterweight after the next fight, and he will also give up the WBO super lightweight belt!" ”

"Wow!" After hearing the news, Paul also exclaimed again, "Moseley has also been upgraded!" He should also be in the ultra-lightweight division not long ago! It won't be to chase de la Hoya, the two are rivals in amateur matches! Now the ultra-lightweight division has suddenly vacated the two boxing championship belts of WBC and WBO! “

After Wang Hao heard the information that Mosley was also going to be upgraded, he was still calm, Wang Hao, who had experience in the previous life, whether it was De La Hoya or Mosley's promotion, was expected by Wang Hao.

Moreover, Wang Hao knows that in fact, after Moseley entered the professional boxing world, he has been chasing de la Hoya, because de la Hoya is already the number one boxing star in the lightweight and pan-middleweight divisions, and any fighter who fights with de la Hoya can get the best income of his career, and defeating de la Hoya can be one step to the sky.

Moreover, Moseley and de la Hoya have fought twice in their amateur careers, and Moseley has won both, and it seems that Moseley's style is to restrain de la Hoya's style, so Moseley is not afraid of de la Hoya like other fighters, but is very confident in the fight with de la Hoya.

De La Hoya and Mosley have been promoted to welterweight and have given up the ultra-lightweight belt, which has obviously had a big impact on the ultra-lightweight landscape, with De La Hoya previously holding the World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight belt, Mosley (WBO) super lightweight belt, Chavez (WBA) and Costa Zu (IBF) the super lightweight belt.

Now, with the promotions of De la Hoya and Mosley, there are no WBC and WBO titles, which is bound to lead to a bloody battle among the ultra-lightweight fighters.

Wang Hao feels that the promotion of De La Hoya and Moseley is also a good thing for him, which makes it easier for Wang Hao to achieve his goal of dominating the super lightweight division, and Wang Hao does not have to face the likes of De La Hoya and Moseley at the beginning of his career.

While Wang Hao was thinking, William continued, "De La Hoya and Moseley upgraded and gave up two ultra-lightweight belts, which led to the stupidity of fighters in the ultra-lightweight division who are now qualified to challenge in the WBO and WBC, including the WBA champion Chavez we are going to challenge, and Camacho, another former famous boxing champion in the ultra-lightweight division, he is also stupid, Camacho was ranked second in the WBO super-lightweight division before, Moseley was ranked first before, and after Mosley left, Camacho will be the strongest contender for the WBO super-lightweight belt. ”

"And the veteran boxing champion Chavez has qualified in all four boxing organizations and is also a WBA champion, but what he hopes to regain most is the WBC belt." William continued.

"That's the main thing I'm talking to you about today, we were planning to challenge Chavez for the WBA title in June, and I was talking to Chavez's team based on that plan. However, due to the sudden upgrade of de la Hoya and the vacant WBC boxing belt, the Chaviz team also immediately decided to compete for the vacated WBC title in June with the WBC super lightweight super-rookie and currently ranked third in the WBC rankings, and Chavez is currently ranked second in the WBC ultra-lightweight rankings, behind de la Hoya. In that case, there is no way for you to schedule a match with Chavez in June. William said to Wang Hao.

Hearing this, Wang Hao and Paul knew William's main intention.

Although de la Hoya and Moseley gave up the ultra-lightweight belts of WBC and WBO respectively, and have nothing to do with the World Boxing Association WBA boxing championship belt that Wang Hao wants to challenge, Chavez wants to participate in the WBC gold medal competition, and it becomes related to Wang Hao.

Although a little disappointed, Wang Hao knows that if he puts himself in the current position of Chavez, he will also give priority to participating in the WBC boxing title fight, after all, this is a new boxing belt, which is much more attractive than simply defending the title.

It's just that Wang Hao has to wait for at least two or three months before he can challenge for the world boxing title, which is indeed a little depressing.

Paul is also a little disappointed, he and Wang Hao originally planned to get the super lightweight boxing title within a year, June was a very suitable opportunity, if it can't be played, it will be August and September, and in October, Wang Hao has been in the professional boxing world for a year, if it can't be arranged in August and September, Wang Hao will not be able to achieve the goal of getting a boxing championship belt within a year.

At this time, William continued, "Although we can't play the WBA Challenge in June, it's not all bad, it's just late for us to challenge the boxing champion, but we can be more prepared." ”

"And, I've made a deal with Chavez's team that I'll fight you for the WBA title in September, regardless of the outcome of Chavez's WBC title fight against undefeated American rookie Clares in June!"

With the bad news out of the way, William began to tell the good side of things.

"And the time of the competition will be scheduled for Mexico Independence on September 16, and the venue of the competition will also be arranged in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico!"

Hearing this information, Wang Hao and Paul glanced at each other, and both of them read some joyful threads from each other's eyes.

The June tournament will not be played, but the September tournament can be arranged for Mexican Independiente and played in Mexico City, which is undoubtedly great news!

Mexico's boxing culture is no less than that of the United States and Cuba, and the fan base is even larger, and Mexican independence is the largest festival in Mexico.

Historically, there have been many famous professional boxing matches with Mexican champions in Mexican independence, and boxing matches arranged in Mexico are also the ones that attract the most Mexican fans.

If the venue of the competition is also chosen in Mexico City, it will be even more attractive.

Mexico Indie challenged Chavez's WBA super lightweight title in Mexico City, and Wang Hao was very satisfied with this arrangement.

It's just that from now to September, there are still five months to go, and Wang Hao is bound to play another game in the middle.

Paul asked, "Then we need to arrange other competitions for Wang Hao in June?" ”

"It's a must!" William said, "I've already figured out that De la Hoya will vacate the WBC championship belt after the promotion, and the highest-ranked Chavez and Clares in the WBC will fight for it, and there will definitely be fighters to fight for the WBO belt that will be vacated after Mosley's promotion." ”

"And as far as I know, Mosley will be promoted a few months later than de la Hoya because he still has one more fight to play, which means that if we are ready, we will have a chance to compete in the WBO super lightweight title after the WBA super lightweight title challenge in September. But we have to qualify for the WBO Championship first. ”

Listening to William's analysis, Wang Hao and Paul are also in high spirits, it seems that although they can't challenge for the WBA title in June, there are still many other important things to do.

William continued.

"Now in the WBO super lightweight rankings, the current boxing champion Moseley is ranked first, the old boxing champion Camacho is ranked second, and the Russian fighter Lermontov is ranked third. After Moseley's promotion, according to the rules, the new WBO super lightweight champion will be between Camacho and Lermontov, unless either of them withdraws from the fight, and the fourth-ranked fighter can replace him. ”

And the third-ranked Russian fighter Lermontov also holds the European Intercontinental Champion Silver Belt in the WBO ultra-lightweight division. So, I think since we can't challenge for the WBA title in June, we can challenge for the WBO European Intercontinental Title, so that when Moseley is promoted, we can compete for the WBO super lightweight title right away. And Wang Hao is now ranked thirteenth in the WBO, and he is fully qualified to challenge Lermontov's intercontinental boxing championship belt, and Lermontov's market appeal is not as good as Wang Hao's, he will not refuse to fight Wang Hao. ”

Hearing what William said, Wang Hao and Paul were even more encouraged.

Wang Hao is very satisfied with William's planning, William is worthy of being an excellent and experienced boxing agent, and he can arrange the fighters' fights very appropriately.

Originally, Wang Hao wanted to start thinking about other boxing titles in the super lightweight division after winning the WBA boxing title, but after William arranged this way, Wang Hao will challenge for the second division of the boxing title faster.

Although the WBA title challenge is late, the WBO title that is not yet planned to be fought for is greatly advanced.
