The Washington Post reported that as the first Asian boxer to be received by the President of the United States, Wang Hao has created too many historic firsts for Asian boxing! And this brilliant victory at the Riyadh Stadium last night is undoubtedly the most meaningful moment in these many historic firsts! Wang Hao, who won last night, became the undisputed supremacy of the ultra-lightweight division, the first time since the birth of boxing that an Asian fighter was born and raised, and is considered the undisputed top professional fighter. From this day forward, no one will ever think that professional boxing is the only sport for black or white fighters.

Wang Hao's victory is historic, both for Asian sports and for boxing itself. Wang Hao's victories have created a new situation. Among the many monuments in the development of world sports and boxing, one must belong to Wang Hao.
At a time when major media outlets around the world are scrambling to report on Wang Hao's brilliant victory, Wang Hao, who won the key victory with Costa Zu, has also risen rapidly in the ultra-lightweight rankings of the four major boxing organizations.
Before the match between Wang Hao and Costa Zu, among the four major boxing organizations, Wang Hao and Costa Zu were ranked first by the two major boxing organizations and the second by the two major boxing organizations.
Wang Hao is listed as the No. 1 fighter in the ultra-lightweight division of the two major boxing organizations with his belt, WBA and WBO, where he holds the belt, while the two major boxing organizations with the belt are listed as No. 2 in the IBF and WBC, where Costa Zu holds the belt; Costa Zu is listed as the No. 1 fighter in the ultra-lightweight division of the two major boxing organizations of IBF and WBC, where he holds the belt, and the two major boxing organizations of WBA and WBO, where Wang Hao holds the belt, is listed as the second largest fighter in the ultra-lightweight division of the organization.
When Wang Hao won the knockout match against Costa Zu on the "King of the Desert" boxing night in Riyadh, the boxing organizations immediately updated their organization's fighter rankings.
Wang Hao is still ranked No. 1 in the WBA and WBO, while in the WBC and IBF, Wang Hao, who holds the belt, has also risen to No. 1, while Costa Zu has also been relegated to the second place in the ultra-lightweight rankings in the WBC and IBF.
In this way, Wang Hao won the gold belt and the first place in the four major ultra-lightweight boxing organizations, and became a veritable king of the ultra-lightweight professional boxing world, while Costa Zu ranked second in all four major boxing organizations.
In the super-lightweight division of the four major boxing organizations, other top-ranked fighters include Chavis, Camacho and Yudah, who has been ranked in the top five of the four major boxing organizations thanks to his outstanding performances in recent fights.
Morales is not ranked because he has not yet fought in the ultra-lightweight division, but breaking into the top 10 or even the top 5 of the major boxing organizations in the ultra-lightweight division is a breeze for Morales.
In the eyes of many fans who like Morales, Morales even has the possibility of defeating Wang Hao in the first match of the super-lightweight division and directly winning the four major boxing organizations in the super-lightweight division.
The famous American lightweight boxer Diaz, who was an excellent boxer in the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and Wang Hao has fought in the Olympic Games and World Championships, after the Olympic Games, he also entered the professional boxing world, like Yodah, he played lightweight at the beginning, and now he has also entered the super lightweight division, although Diaz's ranking is not as eye-catching as Yudah, but he has also entered the tenth position in the ranking of the four major boxing organizations, and will soon have the opportunity to become a mandatory challenger in the four major ultra-lightweight boxing organizations.
Wang Hao was also after the Riyadh game, the first time to get the change in the ranking of the four major boxing organizations ultra lightweight boxer, for his ranking in the first place in the four major boxing organizations, it has long been expected, Wang Hao is not the slightest surprise, but for the rapid rise of Yudah, especially Diaz, Wang Hao is still a little surprised.
It seems that both Yudah and Diaz have improved significantly since entering professional boxing, and Wang Hao knows that he is bound to face their challenges soon, and for Wang Hao, this is a match that requires careful preparation.
In addition to the four major boxing organizations that will release the boxer rankings and belts, the most important magazine in the boxing field, known as the bible of boxing, also has its own rankings and belts, but the significance of this ranking and belts is more of glory, and the gold belts of boxing magazines are awarded at one time and do not need to be fought for by fighters.
Therefore, most boxing fans know the gold belts of the four major boxing organizations, and do not know the gold belts of Boxing Magazine, and for people in the boxing industry, the gold belts and rankings of Boxing Magazine are familiar and have a considerable place in their hearts, and fighters are proud of the high ranking of Boxing Magazine and the ability to obtain the gold belt of Boxing Magazine.
After Wang Hao's victory in Riyadh, boxing magazine also immediately updated its ultra-lightweight ranking, Wang Hao ranked first among all fighters in the ultra-lightweight division, and Costa Zu ranked second.
At the same time, Wang Hao also won the boxing magazine super lightweight championship gold belt from boxing magazine, which is a high honor for Wang Hao, and among the active ultra-lightweight fighters, only Chavez has won this honor in his early years, and Wang Hao is the only one in the younger generation.
Boxing magazine's belts are similar in form to those of the four major boxing organizations, with several large gold logos inlaid on the surface of the belts, and the size is exactly the same as that of the four major boxing organizations.
In this way, Wang Hao also has five gold belts, the gold belts of the four major boxing organizations of WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO, as well as the gold belts of boxing magazines, but the gold belts of the four major boxing organizations need to be maintained by defending the title, while the ultra-lightweight boxing championship gold belt of boxing magazines is a permanent honor and does not need to be maintained by defending the title.
As the bible of boxing, boxing magazines are best known for his annual ratings and his boastful rankings of fighters, also known as boxing magazine P4P rankings.
Being in the top 10 of boxing magazine's P4P rankings is the highest honor for all fighters, which means that the fighter is the highest overall level of boxing in the professional boxing world today, and only 10 of the hundreds of thousands of fighters at all levels can achieve this honor, and the list is scrolling.
A fighter may be able to win a championship title in one division, or even dominate a division and win all the boxing belts in that division, but he may not be able to enter the top 10 in P4P.
After Wang Hao's victory in Riyadh and Costa Zu, boxing magazine also updated the P4P list, and Wang Hao entered the P4P list for the first time, and entered the seventh place at one time.
Wang Hao is ranked before and after, and he is the most famous and powerful boxer in today's professional boxing. Reading Temple
In front of Wang Hao, there are middleweight Hopkins, light heavyweight Roy Jones Jr., welterweight and super welterweight De La Hoya, Trinidade, Mosley and others, and after Wang Hao's ranking, there is Fernando Vargas, who is currently the fastest rising among the four middleweight kings, and the heavyweight overlord Lewis.
Wang Hao also knew for the first time that he had entered the top ten positions of the P4P boxers ranking in boxing magazines, and in addition to being happy, Wang Hao also analyzed this ranking form.
The fact that the middleweight four kings were able to enter the top 10 of the P4P list at the same time once again proved the strength of the middleweight four kings, and Hopkins and Roy Jones, who has not yet met Tafel, are currently the kings of their respective divisions, and they are top fighters in all aspects.
Roy Jones Jr. was listed as the top of the P4P list, followed by Hopkins.
Wang Hao also learned that although the two best new talents in Mexican boxing, Morales and Barrera, are not in the top 10 of the P4P list, they are actually very close to entering the top 10, and even if they are at the end of the top 10, there will be no controversy.
If it weren't for Morales' insistence on moving up the ranks, Morales would actually be in the top 10 of the P4P list after a few more fights in the featherweight division.
And Lewis was able to be the only heavyweight fighter to enter the list, which once again proved that Lewis's strength is recognized, because for the P4P list evaluated by comprehensive strength, it is not easy for heavyweight fighters to enter the top 10 of P4P.
In Wang Hao's impression, after entering the 21st century, Lewis, Klitschko Jr. and Joshua have entered the top ten of the P4P list, and none of them have entered the top five.
And Mayweather, De La Hoya, Hopkins, Pacquiao, Golovkin, because of the high evaluation of comprehensive strength, so these pan-middleweight fighters have long been in the top five or even the first position in P4P, such as Wang Hao's favorite boxing champion in his last life, Kazakh god of war Golovkin has occupied the top of the P4P list for two or three years, which is a sign of middleweight hegemony.
Wang Hao looked at this form, thinking about his next match, Wang Hao, who aspires to become a middleweight hegemon, knows that on his way forward, he is bound to defeat many fighters on the list, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Moseley and even Hopkins, all of whom Wang Hao needs to defeat.
Wang Hao knows that when he defeats these fighters, he will be able to continue to advance in the P4P list until he becomes the No. 1 fighter in the P4P rankings.
The first place in P4P is recognized as the first in the entire professional boxing world, and the comprehensive strength of all boxers at all levels is the first, and the position at the top of the P4P list is also the goal pursued by Wang Hao.
Moreover, the four middleweight kings on the list have not lost until now, but as their careers have deepened, these fighters have lost more than once, and Wang Hao, who has had the experience of the previous life, knows which fighter they will lose to, and what style and technique they will lose to.
This is the biggest golden finger that Wang Hao has brought back from his birth, and Wang Hao hopes to face off against these undefeated middleweight four kings as soon as possible, becoming the first fighter to defeat them, and creating a greater miracle.
In addition to the P4P list, the boxing magazine, which is the bible of boxing, will also award some awards once a year.
For example, Fighter of the Year, New Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, KO of the Year, and the biggest upset of the year.
Wang Hao won the best new boxer in boxing magazine last year, and after Wang Hao won the victory in the Riyadh and Costa Zu match, the professionals of the boxing magazine also spread the news that Wang Hao and Costa Zu will have a great chance to win the honor of Boxing Magazine's best boxing match of the year.
Wang Hao also learned the news, and Wang Hao is also very clear about the possibility of winning this honor, after all, there are not a few unified battles in the boxing world a year, and there are even fewer unified battles to unify the four major boxing organizations at a level, and most of the unified battles may only involve two or three boxing champion belts.
Therefore, the match between Wang Hao and Costa Zu will be the strongest contenders for Boxing Magazine's Fight of the Year in terms of importance, influence, and excitement of the match.
After appearing in major media reports, refreshing many rankings in boxing, and topping boxing magazines, Wang Hao won an even more significant award.
The famous Time magazine magazine put Wang Hao on the cover in the latest issue!
Wang Hao was full of smiles, wearing a shiny four-piece boxing champion gold belt, and the image of the "King of the Desert" crown appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, with the title of Time Magazine's cover character, creating the Chinese "Dragon Fist" of the miracle of Asian boxing!
The article in Time magazine commented that in the nearly 100-year history of professional boxing, it has always been the world of European and American boxers, even if there are occasional Asian boxers, but they are all short-lived and have not entered the ranks of top boxers in the boxing world; But all this was broken by a boxer from Asia and China, "Dragon Boxing" Wang Hao, the young Wang Hao created a feat that is difficult for most boxers to achieve, the world championship and Olympic champion in the amateur boxing era, the ultra-lightweight champion of professional boxing, and the ultra-lightweight boxing champion who unified the four major boxing organizations.
A fighter who wins any of these honors is successful, and Wang Hao has won all these honors, and Wang Hao has never lost a match, he has won these honors, Wang Hao is also an Asian boxer, all of which makes Wang Hao a great boxer, the first great boxer from Asia, a great Asian boxer who created world boxing history!
