Chapter 555: The Influence of Heroes (Part I)

A month later, Xiang Yingying wore a plateau training mask at Roach's request. When athletes train in such an environment, due to the stress caused by the "adjustment and adaptation period", the respiratory rate and heart rate increase, and some of the oxygen dissolved in the blood vessels is not easily absorbed by the body due to the influence of low air pressure, which increases the volume of blood vessels, dilates blood vessels, thickens blood vessel walls, and thickens blood vessels.

Moreover, the blood volume that can be passed is increased, which better exercises the athlete's cardiovascular system, improves the maximum oxygen uptake and hemoglobin concentration, and enhances the ability to tolerate lactate. Plateau domestication (obedience) was produced. On the return to the plain, the acquired adaptive condition is lost. Athletes develop a new condition of stress, i.e., late domestication – the practice of detachment.

Altitude training before the competition. The effect on athletic performance is significant, but training with a high-altitude training mask can be painful for anyone, and Xiang Hero is no exception.

However, in order to defeat Joshua, Xiang Hero can endure anything.

While Xiang Yingying's side was actively preparing for the battle, Joshua's side was not idle, and he was also carrying out various systematic training. He, like Coach Mike Lacken, takes this crossover super fight very seriously. And with the understanding of Xiang Hero, they agreed that Xiang Hero is not as vulnerable as the media reported. They were sure that if they had this kind of thinking to compete with Xiang Ying, they would also suffer a big loss.

Moreover, Xiang Hero is currently preparing for the game under the guidance of legendary coach Roach, which makes Joshua pay more attention to them.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed. In the past three months, Xiang Yingxing's boxing skills have improved by leaps and bounds, which makes Luo Qi and them extremely surprised, thinking that Xiang Yingying can definitely become a first-class professional boxer as long as he concentrates on training for a year.

In the end, Luo Qi and the others even came up with the hope that Xiang Hero would officially change his career and fight professional boxing. After all, the income of a professional boxer is definitely not comparable to that of an MMA athlete.

Of course, Roach also knew that now was not the time to make this invitation, and everything would have to wait until after this crossover superwar was over.

After more than three months of training, Xiang Hero has been able to master the basic skills of boxing, especially in the pace and boxing coordination, the progress is even more obvious, but there is still some lack of boxing combinations, but this needs to be solved in continuous combat training.

On this day, when Xiang Ying was training under the guidance of the target guide, Rocky walked in with Tyson with a smile on his face, and behind them, there were two guys with a body of nearly two meters and as strong as a bear.

Xiang Yingxing's eyes lit up when he saw Tyson, and the big coffee finally appeared. After retiring, Tyson seemed very easy-going, he happily hugged Xiang Hero after seeing him, and praised Xiang Hero fiercely.

After a period of greetings, Tyson introduced the two big men to Xiang Hero, which was the sparring partner he arranged for Xiang Hero, these two sparring partners were the same size as Joshua, and they could simulate Joshua's attack well during actual combat training.

Xiang Yingying was very grateful to Tyson for this gesture and directly said that he would live up to expectations. Tyson didn't care so much about the outcome of this game, he just wanted Xiang Hero to fight like a man until the last minute.

In this way, Xiang Hero conducts normal training during the day and an hour of actual combat training at night. At the beginning of actual combat training, Xiang Yingying was controlled by the sparring partner's front hand jab and back hand straight punch, and he had no temper at all.

Because of his reach, he had to go through a firepower net with jabs and straight backhands to hit his sparring partners if he wanted to hit them, but the distance between the two sparring partners was excellent. Once Xiang Hero rushes forward, they will quickly retreat, and have a backhand fist to control Xiang Hero, making Xiang Hero very aggrieved.

Finally, at the cost of a few punches, the other party would hug him, so that he had no temper at all, so the angry Xiang Yingying made many actions that were illegal in the boxing ring.

In the first week of actual combat training, Luo Qi just watched coldly, and did not give any guidance to Xiang Yingying, but just asked Xiang Yingying to watch the video the next day, evaluate it himself, and find out the problem.

As a result, after watching the video, Xiang Hero felt that he had beaten like dog poop. But at the same time, I also know what my problem is. Under the strong offensive of his opponents, he forgot all the boxing techniques he had learned, and replaced them with the methods he was most familiar with. Seeing this situation, Xiang Yingying knew that his training was not enough, and he had to integrate the boxing skills he learned into his bones.

In the ring, in the face of the opponent's attack, you have less than 0.1 seconds to react, and it is too late to react at this time. If you want to dodge your opponent's attacks, you can only work on your pace, movement, and defensive skills.

Finding problems, finding causes, and solving problems, this is how the hero made rapid progress, and slowly became inseparable from the two sparring partners. A month later, once Xiang Yingying forced the sparring partner to the corner post, he would use a powerful hook to disarm the retreating sparring partner directly.

Xiang Yingying is preparing for the battle, Tang Mu and Mike are also busy, they are even busier than Xiang Yingying, they have become trapeze artists, and some top international brands are negotiating cooperation matters.

Xiang Yingxing's commercial value has now reached its peak, and he is now not only a well-deserved superstar in China, but also one of the hottest figures in the world of sports today.

His victories have made him the ruler of the UFC, with an arrogant personality and a domineering and wild fighting style, but he has made a name for himself in the world of sports and has become one of the iconic figures in world sports.

Although he has not yet reached the popularity and influence of some of the top sports stars in the NBA and football, his future is definitely highly anticipated.

Last year, under the operation of Tang Mu and Mike, Xiang Yingying signed 12 business partners, including UA Sports Brand Monopoly, Beats by Dre (American vocal equipment brand), JD Sports, StubHub, Dafabet, Lynx, Land Rover, Vodafone and many other world-renowned brands.

Tang Mu and Mike continue to improve the net worth of Xiang Hero through their operations in and out of the arena. Money is always an unavoidable topic in competitive sports. They want to make Xiang Hero a household name all over the world.

Xiang Hero's current contract in the UFC has been able to reach the top level, and the appearance fee has reached a terrifying $6 million, which is still a bit far from the top professional boxers, NBA and football top stars, but through the operation of Tang Mu and Mike, Xiang Hero's commercial sponsorship income is very considerable.

Of course, Xiang Yingying also wants to be a billionaire, just like Mayweather, which is not surprising. Therefore, Tang Mu and Mike hope to use this cross-border super battle opportunity to push Xiang Hero to the altar and become the idol of young people all over the world. That is, of course, if the hero defeats Joshua.

Of course, the more business partners the better, we must pay attention to quality, such a company can bring a good activation effect to Xiang Hero, and the influence must be global. The United States and Europe are the most important markets for boxing and MMA, but not all. Tang Mu and Mike will also focus on other markets, but fortunately, most of the partners they choose to cooperate with are international brands, and they will bring a lot of brand endorsement opportunities to Xiang Ying.

However, it is undeniable that American brands are still the main force, and when a hero plays in the United States, there will be a lot of sparks between him and his partners. In short, Tang Mu and Mike will spare no effort to build a world-class "brand" of Xiang Hero.
