Wang Ben's eyes lit up, this can be!

Didn't Virtak not want to fight me? Then Lao Tzu cut off his beard, challenge Hagen in advance, and wait for my brother to get the IBF welterweight championship belt, see if you fight with me.

Hagen's boxing skills are not well-rounded, but he is desperate and advocates offense, and is a well-known tough guy in the boxing world.

At 176cm tall and weighing 146 pounds, this figure is not very prominent in the welterweight division, but everyone likes Hagen's game very much, and it is very popular.

Because he always fights very well and makes the fans very happy.

So Hagen is the kind of popular star who doesn't have a lot of strength, but most fans know him.

Wang Ben studied some of Hagen's game videos, not to mention, although Hagen's strength is not the top in the welterweight division, but this guy's fist power is very heavy, the speed is also fast, quick reactions, the only drawback is that he is not very defensive, so his game looks pleasing to the eye, but when he encounters a strong opponent, he is easy to be knocked down.

Perhaps because he didn't meet any masters, Hagen still has a dazzling record of winning the IBF welterweight gold belt, with 31-5 and 24 knockouts and 3 KOs.

As you can see from his record, Hagen is the kind of fighter who likes to attack and has a high knockout rate, but the three times he lost were knocked out by his opponents.

"Okay, just choose him, you help arrange it!" Wang Ben nodded.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, not to mention that Hagen has an IBF welterweight champion belt on him, and now it depends on whether this guy agrees to the challenge.

However, there is really no pressure to fight Hagen, and with his brother's heavy punches, it is estimated that he can be knocked out in two rounds.

No matter, let's get a gold belt first.

Stewart smiled and said, "Are you sure?" I'll arrange it if I can. ”

Wang Ben nodded and said, "Sure, it's just him, I am confident that I can defeat him." ”

Stewart shook his head and smiled: "As far as I know, Hagen's economic situation is in trouble, and if you challenge him, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Then Stewart continued: "If you beat Hagen and Virtak still doesn't fight you, then I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade and continue to play ranked matches. ”

"Don't worry, as long as I defeat Hagen, I have a way to get him to fight me, unless he is willing to be a shrunken turtle." Wang Ben sneered.

Two days later, Stewart brought good news.

Hagen was very happy to fight Wang Ben, he was in financial trouble now and urgently needed a sum of money, so when he knew that Wang Ben was challenging him, he almost jumped for joy.

With Wang Ben's current popularity, the appearance fees of both sides are very considerable, so Hagen's agent agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The time of the competition is set for half a month later, and publicity is needed in the middle.

Originally, Wang Ben thought it would be a month later, but he didn't expect Hagen to be more anxious than him, no way, this guy is really short of money.

The venue of the competition is Madison Square Garden, New York, USA.

Madison Square Garden looks like a sports stadium, but it is a symbol of American culture, whether it is a New York geographical indication, or boxing, basketball, music, etc., Madison Square Garden is a place that has to be mentioned.

Many famous boxing champions have fought here, including boxing champions Ali, Fraser, and many other top boxing champions who have entered the Boxing Hall of Fame.

The match was very well publicized and attracted the attention of fans around the world, and with Wang Ben's current status and explosive popularity, he challenged the IBF welterweight champion across divisions, which is a good gimmick.

Tickets sold out as soon as they were launched.

Since this is a cross-level challenge, the appearance fee must be higher than the previous one, and Wang Ben is now a boxing champion with three gold belts in his hand, and his status is much higher than before.

Stewart negotiated with the organizers and Hagen's agent for two days, and finally determined that Wang Ben's appearance fee was $6 million, double the previous amount.

Although it seems like a lot, compared to the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, this appearance fee is not high, no way, Tyson is now the hegemon of boxing, and it is normal to get tens of millions of dollars in appearance fees.

Wang Ben remembers that in his previous life, Tyson had just been released from prison and had a boxing fee of $30 million, and no matter whether he won or lost, as long as he played, he would have $30 million, while his opponent in his first boxing match was McNeille, and the appearance fee was only $800,000.

Yes, you read that right, his opponent is only $800,000!

This is the rule of the game in professional boxing, everything is based on popularity, and if there is no popularity, it is difficult to have a high appearance fee even if you are strong.

Although Hagen is also popular and is also the IBF welterweight champion, he is far behind Wang Ben.

After several rounds of negotiations, it was finally decided that Hagen's appearance fee was $1 million!

It's not a low appearance fee, and for Hagen, it's the highest appearance fee of his career, considering that the fight in which he won the IBF Championship was only $600,000.

So when the appearance fee was decided to be $1 million, Hagen was very satisfied.

However, although he was very satisfied, after knowing that Wang Ben's appearance fee was six times that of himself, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I believe that anyone who knows that they can only take one-sixth of the other party's will definitely be unhappy!

It's like work, doing the same work, but someone else is paying you six times the salary, can you feel comfortable?

The date of the fight is finalized, and there will definitely be a press conference before the fight, how can the boxing champion fight without a press conference?

The press conference was very grand, and a lot of media were invited, and several major mainstream media in the United States sent reporters to interview on the spot.

Hagen and Wang Ben stood together, almost as a foil, as if he, the IBF welterweight champion, was like an ornament, and all the reporters didn't like him.

Seeing this, Hagen was very depressed.

Anyway, I'm also a boxing champion, how can you reporters be so partial? Don't ask me a single question!

At the same time, he blamed Wang Ben for everything, and his eyes when he looked at Wang Ben were full of murderous aura.

The first to ask questions was Wang Ben's acquaintance, Migill Lis, a beautiful reporter from CBS.

"Wang, when are you going to move up to welterweight? Also, why didn't you choose Virtek for this crossover challenge? Is it because you're afraid of losing? Now many fans are more concerned about why you choose Hagen instead of Vitak in the cross-division challenge, you must know that Vitak is currently the strongest boxing champion in the welterweight division, and Hagen is the worst boxing champion in the welterweight division, can you talk about it? ”

Hagen, who was standing next to Wang Ben, was so angry that he almost burst his blood vessels, and his face was red, but fortunately, his face was black, and he couldn't see it even if he was red.

What is the worst boxing champion? I'm the IBF champion, and I don't necessarily lose even if I fight Virtek, so when did it become the worst?

But Migill-Lis, as if she didn't see him, smiled and pointed at Wang Ben with the microphone.

Wang Ben shook his head, Migil Lis's question is too sharp, doesn't it embarrass Hagen?

Shaking his head, Wang Ben smiled faintly and said: "Actually, I chose Virtak at the beginning, because in my eyes, only winning the BC boxing championship belt is a world-class boxing champion, especially at present, Virtek has two belts of BC and BA, which is the strongest boxing champion in the welterweight division, but unfortunately, Virtek rejected me, which I can understand, after all, Cassinun, who launched a cross-level challenge to him, was knocked out by me in three rounds, you must know that Cassinun fought him only lost on points." ”

Migill Liz held up the microphone in surprise, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Vitak is scared! Not to mention, there is really such a possibility, otherwise Vitak has no reason to refuse to face off against Wang Ben.

This is a hot topic, and after reacting, all the reporters next to him pricked up their ears and recorded Wang Ben's speech with pens or videos, and Migill Lis's eyes lit up.
