Chapter 383: Leonard's Covenant Battle
Jordan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "How do I know?" This time, Don King invited me to come over to the press conference of this boxing match, Don King paid me 500,000 US dollars, and it just so happened that I was free these days, so I came over to have fun, perhaps, Don King just spent a lot of money for Holyfield to fight Anthony Don King for his son to become famous. ”
"Do you know how much Holyfield's appearance fee is this time?" Wang Ben asked.
"I heard that it is 30 million US dollars, and I will know about it at the press conference tomorrow, but it has not been announced yet." Jordan said.
"What about Anthony Donkin?"
"Five million dollars!"
"Damn, this is obviously a trap, how can there be a $30 million appearance fee for a welterweight match? Even Tyson and I don't have that high appearance fees. Wang Ben shook his head and said.
Jordan shook his head and asked Wang Ben, "Wang, you are now the middleweight unified boxing champion, what are your plans for next?" I heard that Horns wanted to fight you, but was stopped by Mr. Stewart. ”
"What? Horns wants to challenge me? How did I not know? Wang Ben was surprised.
Although Horns is one of the four kings of the middleweight division, he can't even beat McClellan, and he dares to challenge himself, to be honest, Wang Ben really didn't expect it.
It seems that there are still many people who are not convinced by his achievements in professional boxing, although Horns lost to McClellan, but this guy is not small.
Wang Ben shook his head and smiled: "By the way, Mike, where did you hear the news?" When did Horns challenge me? ”
"Wang, it seems that you really don't pay much attention to professional boxing during this time, can you tell me what you are doing during this time? The day before yesterday, the newspaper publicized it so badly, saying that Horns knew your weaknesses and wanted to challenge you, but I didn't expect you to know? Jordan shook his head.
"Wouldn't it? Such a fun thing that Stewart didn't even notify me? But Stewart will definitely stop it, after all, we are all Kroenke Boxing Club fighters, and it is not easy for Horns to achieve what he has achieved now, and if he fights me, he may not be able to survive the night. ”
Wang Ben shook his head and said with a smile that Horns was Stewart's proud disciple, and both of them were from Detroit.
Horns challenged himself, and it was strange that Stewart would say yes.
"My goal now is to challenge light heavyweight champion Hopkins, I just don't know if he will dare to accept my challenge." Wang Ben shrugged his shoulders and said.
Jordan exclaimed in surprise: "You want to challenge the light heavyweight division across two divisions?" You are crazy, king! ”
"By the way, Jordan, do you think Anthony Donkin can beat Holyfield this time?"
Jordan hesitated for a moment and said: "Anthony Donkin is very strong, but I'm not a boxer, I don't know the difference in strength between boxers, but according to fan comments, Anthony Donkin has a seventy percent chance of winning." ”
"Hehe, it looks like there's a good show, but I feel like Holyfield will win." Wang Ben said with a smile.
Holyfield is a guy who can't even be treated by Tyson, his rogue tactics are taken to the extreme, known as the "Holyfield Style", and he is very powerful against those fighters who are known for their attacks.
However, now Holyfield's skills have not yet reached the point of perfection, and it is really difficult to say whether the winner will be defeated.
"To be honest, Wang, I'm just the opposite of you, I think Anthony Donkin can win, he's definitely going to beat Holyfield."
"Anything is possible, anything can happen in the ring, and in two months, we'll know the result!"
Wang Ben doesn't know much about Anthony Donkin's strength, if he follows the professional boxing scene in his previous life, there is no Anthony Donkin at all.
But now the history of this world seems to have changed, with his own rise in professional boxing, and Anthony Donkin's strength is a ferocious mess.
At the same time, Tyson did not neglect training, and his state was fierce and terrifying, knocking Douglas down cleanly in Tokyo, and there was no "Tokyo upset" in his previous life.
Holyfield hasn't been promoted to heavyweight yet, and maybe he's afraid to do so.
If Anthony Donkin beats Holyfield two months later and snatches all three of his belts, Holyfield's plans to upgrade will be completely abandoned.
Will Holyfield give up upgrading to heavyweight, though?
At this time, Wang Ben really had no bottom in his heart, and the world had changed.
In his previous life, Tyson was on the brain, spent a night with Miss Black America, and was sued, resulting in a few years in prison, and his strength dropped greatly after he came out.
But now Tyson not only did not divorce his wife, but broke away from Donkin's control.
I don't understand!
Wang Ben shook his head, his mind in confusion.
After chatting with Jordan for a while, Wang Ben left the casino and returned to his hotel room.
……
After a week of recuperation in Las Vegas, Wang Ben returned home to Los Angeles and began to resume training.
Before Anthony Donkin vs. Holyfield began, Wang Ben crossed two divisions to challenge light heavyweight king Hopkins and failed.
It was not that Hopkins' agent rejected Wang Ben's challenge, but because Wang Ben challenged Hopkins across two levels, which made a boxing champion very unhappy, so he publicized it in the newspaper and said that he wanted to fight Wang Ben.
The name of this boxing champion is - Leonard!
The boxing champion of the first of the four kings of the middleweight division - Leonard!
Leonard, who is now a super middleweight BC and BA double champion, didn't want to fight him when he heard that Wang Ben had crossed over to super middleweight, but instead crossed over to light heavyweight to fight Hopkins.
Suddenly, his lungs were about to explode.
What does that mean?
Isn't I, Leonard, have no value in war in the eyes of the King of China?
Yes, the Chinese king is indeed strong, he unifies the four divisions below middleweight, but so what? I, Leonard, have dominated the middleweight division for more than a decade.
Now, I've moved up to super middleweight and have two of the most important belts in the super middleweight division.
You dare to challenge Hopkins across the super middleweight division, do you look down on me?
Therefore, Leonard asked his agent to find Stewart and said that he wanted to teach the Chinese king a lesson.
If someone else crossed over to the super-middleweight division to challenge the light heavyweight division, Leonard might smile and sit back and watch.
But Wang Ben is different, Wang Ben's super popularity and strength are now overshadowing all boxing champions in the entire professional boxing world.
If Leonard doesn't stand up and lets Wang Ben fight light heavyweight champion Hopkins across two levels, then everyone will think that Leonard is afraid of Wang Ben.
Leonard is a very good-looking boxing champion, he is not afraid of anyone!
However, according to the rules of professional boxing, a high-level boxing champion cannot challenge a low-level boxing champion, only a low-level boxing champion.
This is easy to understand, a high-level boxing champion, to bully a low-level boxing champion, I'm afraid no boxing champion can do such a humiliating thing.
So Leonard said in the newspaper that he wanted to fight the Chinese king, not to challenge the Chinese king.
His purpose is to let Wang Ben take the initiative to challenge him.
Even, Leonard was worried that Wang Ben would not challenge him, so he made concessions on the appearance fee.
Speaking of which, Leonard's fame is no worse than Wang Ben, the only thing is that he is slightly inferior in popularity.
Although Wang Ben unified the four divisions below middleweight, but after middleweight, the strength of each division is very different, although the Chinese king said that the cross-division challenge Leonard has a better chance of winning, but it is not a sure win.
Of course, in the eyes of all fans, if Wang Ben fights Leonard across divisions, the chance of winning will reach 70%.
It's easy to judge that the big battles between Leonard and Robert Duran and Mavi Hagler have been won hard every time.
But under Wang Ben's hands, Robert Duran and Mavi Hagler, they are simply delivering food.
In addition, Leonard is thirty-five years old, and his physical strength is definitely not comparable to Wang Ben.
When Wang Ben heard the news, he felt very comfortable.
Leonard was known as the head of the four middleweight kings in the 80s, and Wang Ben always wanted to take him down, originally worried that this guy would be scared and would not accept his challenge.
I didn't expect him to take the initiative to send it to the door, how could Wang Ben refuse such a good thing?
Since Wang Ben entered the professional boxing world, his first goal is to knock down all the four kings of the middleweight division and knock them all down!
Now that the goal is only half accomplished, Horns will not mention this guy for now, if he continues to jump, Wang Ben will not mind teaching him a lesson.
Leonard was so on the road, Wang Ben asked Stewart to quickly arrange this cross-level challenge.
To be honest, he was a little impatient.
