Chapter 232: Tyson defends his title

After three days in Portugal, Wang Ben, together with Yuan Zhengtu and Chen Zhentai, boarded a plane to the United States and returned to his home in Los Angeles.

Since he's now the welterweight champion and has just finished defending his title, there's no boxing to fight for the time being.

During this time, the agent of BA super welterweight champion Ike Kwarthai kept negotiating with Stewart to want to fight Wang Ben.

Since Wang Ben has not been promoted to welterweight recently, there is no opponent in the welterweight division who dares to challenge him, and only cross-division challenges can find a suitable opponent.

In fact, since the upgrade, Wang Ben has not shown much interest in Ike Quatai, and his goal is to challenge the four kings of the middleweight division.

Spanning two divisions to challenge the middleweight division, this is more exciting, playing Ike Quatai, there is almost no pressure, and Ike Quatai's fame is too low, and the appearance fee of playing him himself will not be too high.

However, for the sake of Ike Quatai being so active in wanting to lose, Wang Ben finally agreed to his request.

"Damn, this guy can't be as short of money as Hagen, right?"

Wang Ben couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Of course, Ike Quatai doesn't want to lose, the appearance fee is very important, but fame is the reason why he can't wait to fight Wang Ben, Wang Ben is now almost an undefeated myth in professional boxing, Ike Quatai is very unconvinced, after watching Wang Ben's boxing match, he is very confident in his heavy punches.

However, although Wang Ben agreed to Ike Quatai's cross-division challenge, during this time, the focus of media attention was not on the boxing match between Wang Ben and Ike Quatai.

The media focus is on the defense of heavyweight unity king Tyson against veteran boxing champion Larry Holmes.

Larry Holmes used to be the sparring partner of boxing champion Ali, so his style is very similar to that of boxing champion Ali, with tight defense, left jab and right hand are extremely lethal, and the most commendable thing is his speed, very fast.

After Ali's retirement, Larry Holmes went professional, becoming the first BC heavyweight champion in 1978 and then the first IBF champion in 1983 when the IBF was founded.

After becoming a boxing champion, Holmes was called the "winning general", successfully defended his title in 20 consecutive fights, and remained undefeated in 48 fights.

After 1985, his form declined, and after losing to Mitchell Spinks, he collapsed, and his reign of the heavyweight division was unified by Tyson.

Compared to Wang Ben's welterweight, the heavyweight bout is more appealing, especially now that Tyson's fame has reached its peak.

In professional boxing, Tyson and Wang Ben are known as the "twin stars" in boxing, but compared to the heavyweight, although Wang Ben is famous, he is still easy to be ignored in terms of strength.

There is no way, the heavyweight is the strongest in professional boxing, and the game is more shocking.

The boxing match between Tyson and Holmes was promoted for a month, and the tickets were sold out early, and fans and tycoons from all over the world gathered in Las Vegas.

Many boxing champions who didn't have a game came to watch this boxing match, and Wang Ben also rushed over.

His cross-division challenge with Ike Quatai is a month away, so let's watch Tyson's title defense first, and by the way, learn about Tyson's current strength.

Of course, he hasn't been impulsive enough to challenge Tyson, the two are too far apart in class, there is no comparison, and it is impossible to win Tyson unless it is a no-rules ring match.

At the scene of the game, Wang Ben saw many boxing celebrities, all the four kings of the middleweight division were present, and Wang Ben also saw a few acquaintances, Roy Jones Jr. and Lewis were all here.

However, when he saw someone, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, I almost forgot, this guy will definitely come over to watch this game, it's strange not to come."

Holyfield, the old fritter of boxing, was already very famous at this time, and he was the first boxing champion to unify the welterweight division.

Tyson went professional boxing from the heavyweight division, while Holyfield started in the welterweight division, and the two had very similar time periods, but the results were different.

Perhaps it is the attention of the heavyweight division, after Holyfield unified the welterweight division, he was a little dissatisfied, and planned to upgrade to the heavyweight division with the highest competition and attention.

Of course, Tyson himself probably would not have imagined that his future biggest rival, Holyfield, was watching his game from the audience at this time.

Wang Ben glanced around and felt a little emotional.

Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Riddick Bow......

In the 90s, several of the heavyweight superstars came, and it would be fun if there were a few fights between them.

Tyson and Holmes defended the title of the boxing match, the result of the game Wang Ben is very clear, but he still wants to see if history will change, remember that this boxing match should have been fought two years ago, and even the time has been delayed for two years, and no one can say whether the result will change.

In general, there will be a cushion match in a boxing championship match, and this Tyson boxing champion defense will arrange four title defense fights.

To be honest, the title defense is usually arranged for rookie fighters, and Wang Ben is not interested.

There are too many newcomers in professional boxing, and the number of boxers who get professional boxing licenses every year is uncountable, how can they pay attention?

The first title defense was a low-level fighter fight, and the strength was average, and Wang Ben didn't know him.

The four mat matches were a bit dull, and the audience was a little drowsy, and they didn't see the memorable fighters.

The attention of this boxing match is indeed very high, and Tyson's appearance fee is more than 10 million US dollars.

Boxing champion Ali and his old foe Fraser were both on hand to watch.

Tyson's agent, Don King, sat in the VIP seat with a smile on his face and kept talking to a young fighter next to him.

The young fighter is strong and taller than Don King, but he looks a lot like Don King.

In the professional boxing world, Tang Jin's personal reputation is not very good, but it has to be said that Tang Jin is the most influential and successful professional boxing promoter in the professional boxing world.

At the same time, Tang Jin is also one of the few boxing promoters in the professional boxing world who has been received by leaders of many countries, and has made great contributions to the development of professional boxing and won countless honors.

Boxing champions Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, etc., without the operation and promotion of Don King, these super boxing champions would not have been so famous.

Many people say that it was Don Kim who destroyed Tyson, and although this statement makes some sense, it is not the main reason.

Without Don King, Tyson would have been a relatively good boxing champion at best, and he would not have been able to be known all over the world and would not have made that much money.

It's like a saying many people say: money is a bastard, and you will earn it when you spend it!

Just like putting all the blame for his depravity on money, Don King is the key figure in Tyson's fame, although he made a lot of money on Tyson, which made everyone unhappy, but he signed Tyson, isn't it just to make money?

Of course, a simple-minded boxing champion like Tyson, if he has the opportunity to cheat him out of his money, I believe that no one will let it go, and it seems that he has never heard of him cheating Holyfield.

However, Don King's reputation in professional boxing is indeed very stinky, and he is called a "super dustler".

The young fighter next to Tang Jin had thick arms and no expression on his face, looking very fierce.

"Could it be that this guy is Donkin's son? Impossible, right? Or is it his most recent boxer signing? ”

Wang Ben frowned, a little puzzled, the key is that this guy is too similar to Tang Jin, he can't think that guy is Tang Jin's son.
