There is no doubt about Klitschko Jr., the strongest presence among the active boxers in the heavyweight division, because there is really no second person who can challenge Klitschko Jr. for the position. For this reason, Klitschko Jr. is often compared to the boxing champion Ali for this reason.www.biquge.info

No one wants to live in the shadow of others, and Klitschko Jr. is even more so, he doesn't like others to compare himself to Ali, and he doesn't want others to call him "the second Ali".

In fact, after Ali, there have been many outstanding boxing champions in history, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, etc., they also lived in the shadow of Ali, but in that era, it was "them", each of them achieved the best achievements, but there was no real dominance in the heavyweight boxing world. Tyson lost twice to Holyfield, Holyfield and Lewis won and drawn, and there has been a fierce rivalry between them, while also carrying the shadow of Ali together.

But now, there is no "them", only "him", in the era of Klitschko Jr., the heavyweight boxing world is like a pool of stagnant water, because of the dominance shown by Klitschko Jr., there is no second fighter who can compete with him, and at the same time, he has to bear the shadow of Ali alone.

So Klitschko Jr. rejected Zhang Guan's request, not so much to reject Zhang Guan, but to resist Ali, because Zhang Guan had Ali's butterfly step.

Now little Klitschko is very happy, and he even has a sense of schadenfreude. He didn't feel that Ali was invincible in the world, and he didn't think that Butterfly Step would be so powerful, he was very happy to see Zhang Guan make a fool of himself, and see Zhang Guan defeated by a certain boxer, because in Klitschko's view, it was not only Zhang Guan's failure, but also Butterfly Step's failure, Ali's failure!

This can be regarded as little Klitschko's obsession, or it can be seen as a little selfishness on his part, he doesn't want to live in anyone's shadow, he hopes to prove to the world that it is no longer Ali's time, and he will not be the "second Ali", he wants to be the only "little Klitschko" in the world.

However, Klitschko's determination made Zhang Guan feel very passive.

"Little Klitschko actually refused, I really didn't expect it, I didn't seem to offend him before!" Zhang Guan recalled it carefully, and did not remember the former sin of little Klitschko.

"Maybe you offended little Klitschko, but you didn't notice it yourself. After all, this kind of thing is just as long as they issue a statement in response to the media, if you refuse to help with this kind of petty favor, maybe you will offend little Klitschko a lot! Zhuge Wenbo continued: "Since little Klitschko doesn't agree, what should we do next?" ”

"Can you find someone else to replace Klitschko Jr.?" Zhang Guan asked.

"People can be found, but I'm afraid they don't have the kind of influence that Klitschko Jr., so they can't have the same effect as Klitschko Jr." Zhuge Wenbo opened his mouth and said: "Klitschko Jr. has dominated the heavyweight boxing world for too many years, if someone else is used as a shield, it will definitely not be as effective as Klitschko Jr." At least 'Tiger' Thompson and 'Fast' Chambers can't be stopped, both of whom have won more than 30 games, and have only lost to Klitschko Jr. except for Klitschko Jr., they may not give face to anyone else. ”

Zhang Guan sighed a little irritably, but He Yiming, who had not spoken all this time, laughed at this time.

"You've been looking ahead lately!" He Yiming said very suddenly.

Zhang Guan didn't understand what He Yiming meant, but He Yiming continued: "You weren't like this before. I remember when you used to beat your opponents with confidence, even if you met them, you could compete in three international Grand Prix races a week, and I thought you were a race maniac, as long as there was a competition, you would get excited. Why is it that when you are challenged by other people, you are holding back now? ”

"I'm not holding back, I'm just troublesome, and I'm not a professional boxer." Zhang Guan said.

"But in my heart, the moment you appear in the ring, you are a professional boxer, and you will become the strongest professional boxer." He Yiming spread his hands, and then said: "I think, you don't have to think so much about it, what kind of shield to find!" Aren't they here to challenge you, call him a 'tiger', a 'rock', or a 'fast man', and beat them all back! ”

"I've thought about it, but I'm worried that the challenge will be endless!" Zhang Guan said.

"Our daily lives are endless challenges, and perhaps our challenges will not end until the day we leave this world. So the key is not the challenge, but the right to speak in the challenge. He Yiming continued: "Those top boxing champions only need to fight one fight a year, is it because no one challenges them? Of course not, that's because they're strong enough, strong enough to have a say, strong enough to directly reject those challengers. Just like the current Klitschko Jr., he can refuse the challenge of any first-class boxer, and others will not have any opinion of Klitschko Jr., but will take it for granted, because if he is only a first-class boxer, he is not qualified to challenge Klitschko Jr. at all. ”

He Yiming said, his expression solemn: "Yu Qi pondered how to avoid these challenges, how to appease these challengers, it is better to fight head-on, beat them all down, let them know that you are really strong, let them know that you are strong, when you show strong enough, when everyone recognizes your strength, at that time, you can happily say 'no', and then don't care about what others think." You don't even have to say 'no', but directly fight them to be afraid, and use your strength to make those potential challengers tremble, so that they don't dare to challenge you! ”

……

Tony Thompson, an American heavyweight boxer nicknamed "The Tiger," has a record of 31 wins, one draw and one loss since he entered professional boxing in 2000, and his only defeat was to Klitschko Jr. two years ago.

Coming out of the gym, Tony Toms saw a text message from his agent.

"Zhang Guan has accepted your challenge, see email for details." Tony Thompson immediately went to the computer, opened his mailbox, and found the new email that the agent had just sent.

"The time is set for the morning of July 15, when the World Cup should have just ended! It just so happened that I went to China after watching the World Cup. Tony Thompson looked at the calendar, silently planning.

At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang again, and Tony Thompson looked at the caller ID, and it was Eddie Chambers who was calling.

Eddie Chambers, also an American heavyweight boxer nicknamed "The Quick," lost to Povetkin a few years ago, but his 35-bout win shows what he's capable of.

Thompson and Chambers are both world-class heavyweights, and both are Americans, and they have trained together many times and are familiar with each other.

Tony Thompson picked up his phone, and Chambers' voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Tony, I just received the news that Zhang Guan agreed to my challenge, so in a few days, I have to go to China and finally see the butterfly step that Povetkin said!" Chambers spoke.

"Has Zhang Guan accepted your challenge?" Thompson began: "He accepted my challenge, and I have to go to China in a few days." By the way, did Zhang Guan tell you the time and place of the competition? ”

"Of course, if you want me to take a look, the venue is the Olympic Village Boxing Gym in China, and the time is July 15!" Chambers spoke.

"July 15th? You must have read it wrong! Zhang Guan and I agreed on the competition time on July 15th! Thompson said right away.

"I'll take another look!" After Chambers confirmed, he said, "I read that right, the time given to me is July 15th!" ”

"How is this possible? How could it be July 15th, there must be something wrong. By the way, is it a matter of time difference, there is a full 12-hour time difference between the United States and China, is your July 15 time in the United States, or in China? Thompson asked.

"It's time in China, and the letter specifically noted." Chambers said right away.

"Mine is also Chinese time! It is also specially noted. Could it be that Zhang Guan's side made a mistake? Thompson reconfirmed his game time, and continued: "At 3 p.m. Beijing time on July 15, I wrote it in my email, and that's right. ”

"Three o'clock in the afternoon? Mine is eight o'clock in the evening! Chambers screamed: "Zhang Guan doesn't want to fight with you in the morning, and fight with me in the afternoon!" Playing two games a day? Is he crazy? ”

……

Ibragimov hummed a little song and looked very happy.

"You're in a good mood today!" The wife brought the fried steak to Ibragimov.

"At that time, of course, Zhang Guan had already accepted my challenge, and after a while, I would go to China! Povetkin said that Zhang Guan used a butterfly step, and I had to see it myself! Ibragimov spoke.

"Zhang Guan? Is it the Chinese? I heard that he was skating a few days ago, why is he boxing again. The wife shook her head inexplicably and asked, "Then when are you going to China?" ”

"We have a match on July 16 and I think I should arrive in China three days early." Ibragimov spoke.

……

The 28-year-old Alexander Dimischenko is still a young man in the heavyweight division, and the Ukrainian-born Dimischenko was once seen as the successor to Klitschko Jr., and his record of more than 25 wins earned him the nickname "Little Giant".

At this time, the "little giant" was facing the sparring partner, waving his fists excitedly.

"Alexander, you've got a lot of extra moves on your feet today!" The sparring partner spoke.

"yes, I'm trying to move faster at a faster pace!" Dimichenko continued: "You know, on July 17th, I have to go to China and have a fight with Zhang Guan! When the time comes, you will be able to try it for yourself, whether that butterfly step is exaggerated, or is it really as powerful as the media says! ”

……

Among the many challengers, such as "Tiger" Thompson and "Fast Man" Chambers, there are still a minority of challengers who communicate with each other, and the vast majority of challengers do not know the time of the other people's challenges, they feel that they are the only one. After all, professional boxers, even if they fight three or four fights a year, they can't imagine that Zhang Guan will face one or two opponents every day.

But the stadium has to sell tickets, and it will sell tickets many days in advance, so it wasn't long before the recent match schedule appeared on the ticketing website, and the boxing stadium was swiped by the name "Zhang Guan".

At 3 p.m. on July 14, Zhang Guan faced Hasim Raman; At eight p.m. on July 14, Zhang Guan faced Jonathan Banks; At three p.m. on July 15, Zhang Guan faced Tony Thompson; At 8 p.m. on July 15, Zhang Guan faced Eddie Chambers; At three o'clock in the afternoon of July 16, Zhang Guan faced Sutan Ibragimov; At 8 p.m. on July 16, Zhang Guan faced Thomas Adamek; At three p.m. on July 17, Zhang Guan faced Steven Cunningham; At 8 p.m. on July 17, Zhang Guan faced Alexander Dimichenko; At three o'clock in the afternoon of July 18, Zhang Guan faced Abdusalamov; At eight o'clock in the evening on July 18, Zhang Guan faced Drake Chesola; Zhang Guan takes on Gary Sykes at 3 p.m. on July 19, and Zhang Guan takes on Samur Pitt at 8 p.m. on July 19......

In six days, Zhang Guan will face 12 heavyweight fighters, all of whom are world-class and even world-class boxers.

As soon as the news came out, everyone thought it was fake news, and there was even a lot of scolding on the Internet.

"This must be the hype of the ticketing website, these twelve people almost include half of the top heavyweight boxers, how can they all come to China to fight?"

"It's fake, it's really fake! A professional boxer may not be able to fight a fight in three or five months, how can he fight twelve fights in six days? This must be fake! ”

"Afternoon and evening? Think it's snooker? You can't finish in the morning and fight in the afternoon, and you can't finish in the afternoon and fight in the evening! This person doesn't even understand boxing, and he dares to make up such fake news! ”

"This is really crazy, I think Zhang Guan is famous, so I use others to hype, it's really shameless!"

The ticketing website felt that they were more wronged than Dou E, and they hurriedly issued a statement, saying that all this was true, but the more so, the more miserable they were scolded, especially on the Internet, and even adapted several fresh jokes.

……

Facing the reporter, Zhuge Wenbo smiled professionally.

"We recently noticed that a certain ticketing website is pretending to hype up Zhang Guan's fame, and we also feel that this kind of rumor-mongering behavior is really too much, I don't know what the response of the championship team is? Are there any plans to sue this site? The reporter asked.

"You're talking about playing twelve games in six days, right?" Zhuge Wenbo asked, and the reporters around him nodded.

Zhuge Wenbo made a very helpless expression: "That's not hype, it's not rumors, it's true, the schedule is completely true, Zhang Guan is about to face twelve opponents in six days." Of course, it is not excluded that one of the twelve boxers suddenly encountered something and couldn't come. ”

"Is that true?" There was an uproar at the scene.

An old reporter even said to himself: "Facing twelve top heavyweight boxers in six days, Zhang Guan is crazy!" (To be continued.) )
