Chapter 160: Fighting for the Right to Enforce Challenges
Wang Ben didn't care about everything in the outside world.
At this time, he was immersed in joy, to be honest, this game was very easy, the points against Little Japan were very considerable, and suddenly his points entered the twelfth place in the world rankings, which was so refreshing!
I would have won and won, but I didn't expect there to be a big surprise!
The IBF International Boxing Federation ultra-lightweight boxing championship belt, which also includes the boxing championship belt of three other professional boxing organizations, accidentally became his.
Cool! This gold belt is quite domineering, but unfortunately it is not made of gold, otherwise my brother must take a few photos to commemorate it.
Wang Ben took the gold belt awarded to him by the organizing committee, and his eyes lit up.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the world's most influential boxing champion gold belts are the gold belts of BC, BA, IBF and BO organizations, and the boxing champion gold belt is just a symbol and reward, not worth anything, most of them are cast in alloy.
Fighters who win the title at the Championship Tournament receive a gold belt from the boxing organization, and even if the champion loses the title defense, he can buy one from the boxing organization at his own expense to keep the collection or souvenir.
Wang Ben touched the IBF boxing champion gold belt with his hand, and his face bloomed with joy.
After returning to Detroit from Las Vegas, Wang Ben hugged the four belts tightly, and was a little reluctant to let go.
"Wang Ben, put those belts away, now that you're ranked 12th in the world rankings and qualified to challenge BC Champion Chavez, what's your next step?" Yuan Zhengtu said with a smile.
Wang Ben stared at the IBF boxing championship belt and said: "What can I plan, it must be to challenge the boxing champion, I now feel that my bones are starting to grow thicker, and I can't stay in the ultra-lightweight division for too long, otherwise I will soon exceed my weight." ”
Yuan Zhengtu nodded, seeing that Wang Ben had been staring at the boxing champion gold belt in his hand, and said with a smile: "You seem to like the gold belt very much?" ”
"Of course, didn't you notice? The boxing championship belt is really domineering, and I like it very much. Wang Ben said with a smile.
"The boxing championship belts of the two major organizations of BC and BA are beautiful, if you really like it, you must take it for me." Yuan Zhengtu said with a smile.
"Really? No problem, don't worry, I'm going to win the BC super lightweight belt. Wang Ben nodded.
Although Wang Ben was full of confidence, he did not get the opportunity to fight with the Mexican "God of War" Chavez.
Because, another fighter also challenged Chavez.
Fight for the right to challenge!
Stewart is worthy of being a well-known agent in the United States, and after obtaining Wang Ben's consent, he launched a battle for the right to challenge him.
In the BC and BA boxing organizations, there are rules for a silver belt and a tentative boxing champion, and if you want to challenge for a boxing champion, you need to get a silver belt.
When you meet two people who are willing to challenge the champion at the same time, then you need to fight for the permission to challenge, that is, you need to fight for the silver belt.
As long as you can be in the top 15 in the world, the rules allow, you can pay the certification fee, you have a strong will, and more importantly, the broker is powerful, you can play the mandatory challenge right.
Wang Ben is ranked 12th in the world, and the other fighter who has challenged for the right is named Hect Camacho.
Camacho, ranked third in the world, is from Puerto Rico, nicknamed "The Big Man", is 169cm tall and has an arm span of 175cm.
Wang Ben paid too little attention to boxing in his previous life, so he was very unfamiliar with Camacho, in fact, Camacho is a very powerful fighter.
In the mid-to-late nineties, Camacho gained weight and defeated two of the four kings of the eighties, Robert Duran and Leonard.
Camacho is a boxing tragedy who was shot dead in 2012 while riding in his car!
However, Camacho was ambitious at this time and didn't seem to take Wang Ben in his eyes.
On the eve of the match, when the media interviewed Wang Ben, Wang Ben smiled faintly and said firmly: "My goal is to defeat the boxing champion Chavez, as for Camacho, sorry, within two rounds, I will knock him out!" ”
When Camacho heard Wang Ben's words, his lungs exploded.
For some reason, the American media are very fond of publishing what Wang Ben said, and as soon as Wang Ben's words are spoken, the major media will soon publish them as they are.
Topic! This is where the heart of journalism lies.
If Wang Ben is a well-behaved baby and there are no reports that can surprise people, I believe the media will definitely not be interested.
But since Wang Ben defeated the Japanese boxer Takasaka Jing, he has become very arrogant and arrogant, which makes the media feel very surprised.
And Wang Ben has become very famous because of the tiger attack incident half a year ago, and now, he speaks wildly and does not take anyone in his eyes, and the media of course likes to chase reports.
So, when the phrase "As for Camacho, sorry, I'll knock him out in two rounds" came out, Camacho jumped first.
However, some sports media believe that this is just Wang Ben's tactic to make the other party emotional.
"I also say the same thing, within two rounds, I will definitely knock him out and let everyone understand that 'Tiger Hero' is just a joke!" Camacho immediately fought back in the newspaper and swore that he had mastered Wang Ben's weakness.
Of course, American boxing magazine has given a very neutral review, saying that Wang Ben may win, but it is almost impossible to knock out Camacho in two rounds.
Camacho is not a Japanese Takasaka Takeyuki, he has a lot of professional experience, great technique, versatile play, great flexibility on the court, and is known for his defensive ability.
Although his shortcomings are very obvious, his offensive ability is average, his boxing is relatively conservative, and he is only good at defensive counterattack play, but this style is exactly the nemesis of a strong offensive fighter like Wang Ben, isn't it?
When Wang Ben saw Camacho's words in the newspaper, he was very unhappy.
Damn, this kid actually wants to KO brother?
"With his weak fists like a, can he knock me out in two rounds? Isn't that a joke? ”
In the newspaper the next day, Wang Ben's words were published.
Camacho almost went crazy and was furious in the training room, this is so hurtful, a boxer's fist, being said to be soft like a, who can stand it?
Maybe Wang Ben was too arrogant, even Chavez was a little blind, he spoke in the media: "Camacho is a very good fighter, although Wang Ben is very famous, but not in the ring to achieve fame, and in the end it has been clarified that his fight is just a misunderstanding, I think, the last one who can get the opportunity to fight with me must be Camacho, I am looking forward to fighting Camacho!" ”
After Wang Ben saw the newspaper, a sneer appeared on his face.
Chavez, are you tired of being a boxing champion?
At this time, I came out to dismantle my brother's platform, and when Lao Tzu cleaned up Camacho, I must make you regret what you said today.
Not to mention, Chavez's words were authoritative, and fans were quickly bullish on Camacho.
War of words! This is the routine of professional boxing.
After Wang Ben returned from Moscow, he thought about it for a long time and felt that in order to maintain his super popularity, he had to engage in a war of words and whet the appetite of his fans, so that his popularity would not cool down with the cooling of the tiger fight.
Although the war of words is shameful, Gu Long Daxia has a good saying: People in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves!
If you want to mix in the professional boxing world, you must do everything you can to mobilize the enthusiasm of your fans, and only in this way can you become a professional boxing superstar.
To be honest, after the bombardment of the Internet in the 21st century, Wang Ben has a deep understanding of the war of words.
Many fans eat this set, cheering for their favorite fans, as if before the fight, if there is no little war of words, the fight is not exciting.
Besides, the media such as newspapers and television love nothing more than a war of words, so it will be lively and everyone will be happy!
In fact, in any adversarial competitive competition, if there is no war of words, it is extremely abnormal, and even sometimes, the media will lead the two sides to a war of words.
