Chapter 431: Cross-class challenge heavyweight

Ruddock is tall and powerful, with a height of 191cm and an arm span of 208cm, and his punches are fierce, but his technique is relatively rough, his ability to resist strikes is average, and he has no characteristics.

In fact, Ruddock has not won any boxing championship belt and does not have much influence in the professional boxing world.

However, Wang Ben clearly remembers that although this guy did not become a boxing champion, his reputation is not low.

You must know that in Wang Ben's memory, this guy was on par with Tyson at his peak, and the two fought fiercely for twelve rounds, almost knocking Tyson to his stomach.

It was one of the few games in Tyson's prime, where he played a full game and won by points, and Tyson played very painfully at that time.

"Damn, count this guy lucky, Lao Tzu crosses the level to challenge the heavyweight boxer, and he will be the first to choose!"

Wang Ben glanced at Raddock and showed a hint of a smile.

It can indeed be regarded as Raddock's luck, you must know that with Wang Ben's current fame, if you challenge Raddock, the appearance fee must be very considerable.

The key is that this is Wang Ben's first cross-division challenge to a heavyweight boxer, and the influence can be imagined.

After the heavyweight title defense between Tyson and Lewis, Wang Ben immediately approached Stewart and expressed his wishes.

"Wang, do you want to challenge the heavyweights? Why don't you choose a more famous fighter, Ruddock's fame is too low, he has just broken into the top 15 in the world rankings. Stewart frowned.

Wang Ben's cross-division challenges have become the norm, so Stewart wasn't surprised to hear that Wang Ben was going to challenge the heavyweight boxer.

It's just that he wonders why Wang Ben didn't choose the boxing champion this time, but chose a fighter who is not very famous.

You must know that Ruddock is not famous now, he has not fought Tyson, and not many people in professional boxing know him.

"I have to get used to the physical ability after gaining weight, and there are no great fighters in the sub-heavyweight division who dare to challenge me at the moment, so I can only find a heavyweight, in my opinion, although Ruddock is not famous, but he is good." Wang Ben explained.

In fact, the main thing is that Ruddock is more than brave, but the technique is rough.

Dealing with this kind of boxer, Wang Ben has a lot of experience.

As for the other heavyweight fighters, it is the same for whoever they fight, there is no difference, because the current boxing champion belts of the three major organizations are in Tyson's hands, and no one can get the boxing championship belt, only to defeat Tyson.

However, Wang Ben is not in a hurry, he has just been promoted to welterweight not long ago, as long as it takes a while, when he is sure, he will definitely challenge Tyson.

Of course, before that, Wang Ben has to turn the heavyweight division upside down, otherwise Tyson may not be willing to accept his challenge.

With Tyson's current state, if this guy hadn't messed around, he would definitely be able to maintain his peak for a few years.

If you want to dominate the heavyweight division, you can only be convincing by knocking out Tyson with an absolute advantage.

If you win by just points and don't knock out Tyson, it's unpleasant to think about it.

When the news of Wang Ben's cross-division challenge to heavyweight fighter Ruddock was announced in the media, it quickly caused a sensation.

The major media published the news for the first time, with headlines on the front page.

The fans were very pleasantly surprised, the king of China, too powerful, worthy of being the greatest boxing champion in professional boxing, full of combat effectiveness.

He had just been promoted to the welterweight division, and he immediately set his sights on the heavyweight, although this time he did not directly challenge the boxing champion Tyson, but challenged a little-known fighter Ruddock, but a boxing champion who can maintain such a fighting spirit is really rare in the professional boxing world.

Could it be that his next target is boxing champion Tyson?

He wants to unify the heavyweight division across divisions when he is in the welterweight division? Dominating the professional world in the welterweight division?

God, the Chinese are so tough, if he succeeds, then he will become the greatest person in professional boxing, there is no one!

However, after the news was published in the media, some fans were a little confused.

Why did the Chinese king challenge a heavyweight who is not well-known?

This time, why didn't he directly challenge the boxing champion Tyson? Was he afraid of losing?

Perhaps Wang Ben has always been a cross-division challenge to the boxing champion, and everyone has formed a habit, so when Wang Ben suddenly changed direction and challenged an unknown heavyweight boxer, the fans were a little unaccustomed to it.

So, the so-called boxing experts began to fire!

All of a sudden, many boxing analysis experts appeared in many media outlets, and many articles were published.

The meaning is obvious, after the Chinese king gained weight to the sub-heavyweight division, his strength was affected, the heavyweight is the highest peak of professional boxing, and the Chinese king is a little powerless, so he will challenge unknown fighters.

The king of China, very cunning!

Anyway, even if this cross-division challenge, the Chinese king loses, his boxing belt will not be lost, Ruddock is a heavyweight, and he can't win the welterweight championship belt if he wins the Chinese king.

And Tang Jin also fanned the flames in front of the media, believing that the Chinese king challenged Ruddock across the class to maintain popularity, not full of fighting spirit as everyone imagined.

When Wang Ben saw the media reports and the experts' articles, he was so angry that his teeth hurt.

"Rely on his uncle, this guy Tang Jin is too excessive, didn't Lao Tzu just rob his son of three gold belts? Is it necessary to hate me so much? Do you have what it takes for Anthony Donkin to challenge me? Wang Ben threw the newspaper in his hand.

There are also those bullshit experts, who analyze the head of the way, but in fact, they are all a bunch of fucking bullshit, and they are all a group of braggart masters.

Fans are a little puzzled and don't understand the purpose of the Chinese king's cross-division challenge to Ruddock, but anyway, it is the cross-level challenge of the Chinese king, and everyone has a boxing match to watch, which is enough.

As for the experts' statement that the Chinese king's strength has declined, the fans don't believe it, the Chinese king can easily knock out the welterweight king in the middleweight division, win three gold belts, and his strength will decline when he is upgraded to the welterweight division? Who believes?

However, there was one person whose face was like a flower blooming after seeing the media report.

This man was Ruddock, and he laughed!

He never thought that the most famous boxing champion in professional boxing would actually challenge himself, an unknown boxer, across the class.

This is a great opportunity to become famous!

As for the experts in the media, saying that they are heavyweight rookies, to be honest, Ruddock is not angry at all, but excited.

It's true that he doesn't have much fame, but if you talk about strength, he doesn't feel like a rookie, and it is even possible that he wants to challenge Tyson, and in the original plan, he did mean to challenge Tyson.

Unfortunately, not long after he entered the top 15 in the world rankings, Tyson had just finished defending his title with Lewis and had no chance for the time being.

Unexpectedly, another more famous boxing champion in professional boxing - the king of China! I actually challenged myself across levels.

Does the king of China think I am weak? Want to pinch soft persimmons?

Thinking of this, the smile on Ruddock's face was even bigger.

"King of China, I'm worried that I can't find a chance to become famous quickly, I didn't want you to give face like this, I will definitely not let you down, I want to knock you out, defeat you, and then I will become the first fighter in professional boxing to beat you, and then I will be able to get more appearance fees!"

Thinking that after defeating Wang Ben, he would become the focus of the world, Ruddock's eyes were about to smile, and his heart was so excited.

With little to no inhibition, Ruddock's agent was quick to respond to Stewart's request to accept the Chinese king's crossover challenge.

The contest will take place one month later.

During this time, it was necessary to promote the boxing match, which took place in Madison Square in New York, USA.

As this fight is a cross-division challenge, there has been a lot of negative media coverage, but it can't stop the fans' interest.

As a result, the broadcast rights of the game sold very well, and major media outlets around the world broadcast it.

And in this boxing match, Wang Ben's appearance fee once again broke the current professional boxing record for appearance fees, as high as 38 million US dollars, and even Ruddock was also stained, and his appearance fee was as high as 2 million US dollars.

You must know that Ruddock is just a fighter without the slightest reputation, and he can get a career-high appearance fee of $2 million, and before that, his highest appearance fee was $300,000.

This is the reality of professional boxing, the appearance fee of a fighter does not look at the strength of the fighter, but looks at the commercial value and popularity.

Wang Ben is worth this price, no matter who his opponent is, as long as he plays in a boxing match, the appearance fee will need so much, unless he is defeated and his popularity declines, his appearance fee will definitely soar.

Although Wang Ben's cross-division challenge is only to challenge Ruddock, an unknown fighter, his influence is definitely not low.

King of China, the first cross-division challenge in the welterweight division!

How can the impact be low? Perhaps, this is just the first fight that has set off a huge wave of heavyweights in professional boxing.
