After the class reunion in the fourth year of junior high school, Dongfang Sheng began to train, in order to take care of Dongfang Sheng and prevent him from running around, his team came to the mountain city to train. After that, everyone departed from Sanseong and boarded a flight directly to Busan.
Just tomorrow, the upcoming WBC Youth Asia-Pacific Intercontinental Boxing Championship Gold Belt Challenge, Dongfang Sheng, as a challenger, will naturally come to the opponent's home court.
There are very few young Asia-Pacific Intercontinental Boxing Champions who are active, because basically they all win the championship between the ages of 19 and 20, and then overage and become former youth Asia-Pacific Intercontinental Boxing Champions.
This South Korean named Kim Jong-san is the current WBC Youth Asia-Pacific Intercontinental Boxing Champion, and Dongfang Sheng's previous opponent was Lee Sung-hyun, which was originally his professional first fight, but unfortunately the promotion company was in a hurry, hoping that he would win and then hold a boxing championship challenge in China, which was a big gimmick, and the result was very tragic.
Kim Jong-san, a native of Seoul, South Korea, is 20 years old, 176 cm tall, weighs 160 pounds, has a 9-0 professional record, and has won five knockouts.
The results are better than Dongfang Sheng, but after watching his game video, Dongfang Sheng has no pressure. Although the opponent claims to have both strength and skill, his strength is obviously inferior to his own, and his technique is better than him. He can win the young intercontinental boxing championship, that is, there is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to dominate.
When they arrived in Busan, a staff member from the WBC office in South Korea came to contact them and gave Wang Xueming some information, informing them when to weigh them, when to compete, and to participate in some pre-competition press conferences.
Although the gold content of the young intercontinental boxing champion is not high, he is a boxing champion who has been recognized by the professional boxing world, so the competition process should be more formal. First, the fighters from both sides had a weigh-in ceremony the day before the fight, which was also the end of media interviews.
On the second day, the official competition, post-competition awards, and media interviews.
When they arrived in Busan, it was night, and Dongfang Sheng and the others rested early, and the next morning they came to the new Busan Gymnasium to weigh themselves. The weighing place is very simple, the media who come are all reporters from the local sports sector in South Korea, and they start to weigh next to the press conference.
Although the form is simple, the people at the WBC office in Korea are meticulous, weighing, and declaring that the weight meets the requirements. Next to the car, Dongfang Sheng and Kim Jong-san sat on the press stage, the two of them were in the middle, and there was a person in the middle, he was Chechen Jun, the head of the WBC office in South Korea.
Both fighters are next to their coaches, and the reporter may ask the coach questions later.
Sitting on the ground, under the chairmanship of Chechen Jun, the meeting proceeded normally.
In the media question stage, Dongfang Sheng received a snub, after all, it was someone else's home field, and not a single reporter asked him questions, all of them headed towards Jin Zhongshan. In this regard, Dongfang Sheng is very calm, no problem.
After the reporter asked questions, the press conference ended immediately, and the two boxers walked to the center and shook hands and talked under the signal of Chechen Jun.
Kim Jong-san is a stocky young man, but he has a lot of boxing experience, having won several boxing competitions in South Korea before joining the professional boxing competition. He's billed as the most promising South Korean fighter to win the middleweight world title, but he's too low to qualify.
Stretching out his hand, Kim Jong-san held his hand but did not let go, but said it in Korean. Dongfang Sheng looked at the officially arranged translator next to him suspiciously.
The translator's expression was a little tangled: "Spicy chicken from Huaxia, Li Chengxian is just a newcomer in our Korea, I'm not surprised that you can beat him." Tomorrow, I'm going to knock you out with the same knockout and let you know how powerful Korean punches are. ā
Dongfang Sheng frowned, squinted his eyes and sneered, "I only know that Koreans are good at plastic surgery, but I didn't expect that their mouths are also very powerful." Hopefully you'll be able to stand up for the press conference tomorrow and won't be sent straight to the hospital. ā
"Hahaha, it's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
"I never laugh."
"Yes, if you lose the game when the time comes, don't blame me for returning to Huaxia in a gray way."
"That's a lot of nonsense...... Dongfang Sheng shook his hand directly after speaking, turned around and left, leaving Jin Zhongshan's face pale.
South Korean reporters snapped pictures.
Not surprisingly, there were reports that night, all of which said that Dongfang Sheng was rude, and after listening to the words of the translator after reading the newspaper, Dongfang Sheng's face was grim: "It's really bad." ā
At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, also at the new Busan Gymnasium, the two sides arrived at the game site early and began to prepare for the activities. This is a low-value boxing championship challenge, but in the end it is also a boxing champion, and all arrangements have cushion matches.
To be honest, it is the first time for Dongfang Sheng to have this kind of treatment, and he has always given others a cushion before. Sitting in the public lounge, Dongfang Sheng sat on the sofa and watched the two Korean professional boxers on the screen spill their blood.
These are also two newcomers who have just entered the professional boxing, and their technical strength is inferior to Li Chengxian, they are also welterweight fighters, both under the age of 20.
There were three mattresses in total, but all of them were six-rounds, and there were two knockouts within three rounds, so it didn't take much time.
When it was close to 12 o'clock, it was finally Dongfangsheng's turn to play.
As a challenger and playing away, Dongfang Sheng naturally played first. The sparse applause looked listless, but Dongfang Sheng was full of energy, and he wanted to hit his opponent with a stormy attack to counter his provocation at yesterday's press conference.
The new Busan Stadium can accommodate more than 20,000 people, but boxing seems to be not very popular in South Korea, and there is a large empty area in the audience seats, and tickets are not sold out. If it's a girls' generation concert, I guess there are all otaku and lewd uncles below.
The host and others are all Koreans, and for this reason, the WBC office in Korea also arranged a translator for Dongfang Sheng to translate the information he needs to know at any time.
After the host chattered, the interpreter reminded him: "It's your turn." ā
"Hmm" Dongfang Sheng nodded, shook his arm, and strode towards the passage.
No one cheered, no one applauded, and the audience was small, and it seemed very deserted. It can be seen that the so-called young intercontinental boxing champion has no gold content and is not taken seriously, if it is in Seoul, it may be better, after all, Kim Jongsan is a native of Seoul and is known as a Korean boxer.
When it was Kim Jong-san's turn to appear, the treatment was different, with the audience chanting his nickname and waving the small national flag in their hands. Jin Zhongshan was also sassy, and actually kissed his fist gloves lightly while walking, and also threw flattering eyes at the audience.
Seeing this situation, Dongfang Sheng smiled and said: "What are you proud of, wait a while, let you obediently hand the gold belt to me in front of your compatriots, oh, no, when you enter the hospital, someone will naturally hand it over for you." ā
