194, coach Wang Xueming
On January 3, 2018, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the press conference was held on time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The press conference was chaired by Mr. Arum's assistant Divano, and the meeting began with a speech in which he thanked the news media, thanked the WBC Boxing Council, and then was honored to invite Dongfang Sheng to join the WBC and so on.
Immediately afterward, Arum spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the press conference for the signing of the WBC by Dongfang Sheng. I'm sure everyone knows Mr. Dongfang Sheng, who won the 75kg World Championship in "Hero Fight" just yesterday ......"
Arum spoke briefly, first introducing Dongfang Sheng, and then talking about a bunch of ambitions to promote boxing.
Next is the reporter's question session, because TB company has already said hello, and the reporter who asked the question was confirmed by Di Vano, the whole process was very smooth, Dongfang Sheng considered the answer yesterday, there is no problem.
At the end of the reporter's question, the vice chairman of the WBC Boxing Council delivered a speech, welcoming Dongfang Sheng and so on. At the end of the speech, Dongfang Sheng signed on the spot and officially joined the professional boxing world.
After the signing ended, the reporters left, and Dongfang Sheng, accompanied by Divano, met with the coaching staff arranged by Arum.
It's said that it's the coaching staff, but it's actually just one person.
The coach is Chinese, in his fifties, wearing a decent suit, polite, and does not look like a boxing coach at all.
His name is Wang Xueming, and his English name is Jim, and this English name Dongfang Sheng is more familiar, because he often heard it in the textbooks of the first year of junior high school. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello Coach Wang, my name is Dongfang Sheng, please help me more in the future." ”
Wang Xueming smiled, stepped forward and reached out to pinch his shoulder and said, "Well, yes, it's quite strong." There are not many Chinese people who enter the professional boxing world, and we will help each other in the future, hahaha. By the way, Mr. Arum arranged for me, but I can't do it alone. You should also have a full-time assistant, then a dietitian, a masseur, and a doctor, which can be part-time, but you have to be on call. How, is there anyone who has been chosen? ”
The other party was so direct, which made Dongfang Sheng a little embarrassed, he said: "The assistant has it, this is Zhang Da, my good buddy, who has followed me from the beginning." As for nutritionists and masseurs, I don't know about them, and doctors, I don't know if the coach has a suitable candidate? ”
Wang Xueming greeted Zhang Da, then frowned and thought for a while: "Okay, wait for me to contact my friends and see if there are any more suitable candidates on their side." ”
Dongfang Sheng nodded in agreement.
TB only promotes boxing events, and does not have the required personnel for the coaching staff, Dongfang Sheng already knows from Divano that those who serve him must be selected by themselves. Of course, if he is not familiar with the United States, he will naturally leave it to Wang Xueming.
The usual training place has been found, which is the boxing gym opened by Wang Xueming and his friends, located in Los Angeles. Dongfang Sheng also had to go back to China with Liu Guoping, go through the relevant procedures, and then fly to Los Angeles to start boxing training.
left each other's contact numbers, Dongfang Sheng repeatedly asked Wang Xueming to help find someone, and Wang Xueming also seriously agreed.
After the signing was completed, Dongfang Sheng and the three of them returned to the hotel, and Liu Guoping and others had already packed up their salutes and flew at night.
……
Three days later, Los Angeles.
Mr. Wang's boxing gym with his friends is next to the Dodge's Arena, next to Hollywood and the University of Southern California. His friend was an Englishman, Carlos Simmons, who was tall, almost 1.95 meters in size, and as strong as a cow.
Wang Xueming introduced Carlos: "This is Dongfang Sheng from Huaxia, a very good boxer, who has just entered the professional boxing world and is coached by me. ”
"Hello, Mr. Dongfang Sheng, I have read the news of your signing with WBC, welcome to Los Angeles."
"Hello, Mr. Simmons." Dongfang Sheng stepped forward to hold the other party's hand and responded with a smile.
"Okay king, since you're here, I'll go first."
Wang Xueming waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, it's hard to see you glow with a second spring, I should naturally support it." ”
Carlos left with a smile, and Wang Xueming said: "Carlos is very easy to get along with, you will know in the future." Okay, let me introduce you to our boxing gym. Here is the training hall, including a boxing ring and the equipment next to it, there is the locker room, and on the left is the office of me and Carlos. ”
Following Wang Xueming, Dongfang Sheng looked at the entire boxing gym.
To be honest, this boxing gym is really not big, not as big as the underground training room of the former Brilliant Club, but in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, there is a boxing gym facing the street, which is also quite powerful.
There were two groups of people training in the gym, one group was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other group was about twenty years old. From Wang Xueming's introduction, it is known that the small group is an amateur student, and the older group has now entered the amateur competition, and one of them has achieved good results.
Seeing three Chinese people walking into the boxing gym, everyone looked over.
A young man in his twenties was holding a sandbag, and in front of him was a black man punching a sandbag. He said to the black youth: "Hey, Dodge, see it, the tall Chinese over there is the new WBC signing, I heard that in China he has already beaten all over the world invincible." ”
Dodge turned his head to look, stopped his fist and gasped: "Short general, Huaxia is known as a boxing desert, and no one plays boxing at all, so I don't believe he has any strength." ”
"Have you forgotten that Zhou Minmin, who is also from China, has also won the WBC gold belt?"
"Flyweight?" Dodge sneered, "This belt doesn't have much gold, and he can win the boxing title, I think it's more because of Arum's relationship, and it's important to choose an opponent, so he probably stops there." ”
"You seem to be prejudiced against the Chinese people, don't you?"
"I don't, don't you know that there is a boss here who is from Huaxia?"
"Don't worry, I won't say it."
"Whatever." With that, Dodge continued to punch the punching bag.
Here, Wang Xueming and Dongfang Sheng entered the office, took out a form and handed it over: "Take a look, fill in your information, and then wait for Carlos to come back, we will give you a personal test, and first touch and familiarize yourself with your situation." ”
"Okay, Coach Wang."
After taking the form, Dongfang Sheng was a little confused, and said to Wang Xueming: "Coach Wang, I don't understand English." ”
"Oh, forgot, sorry." Wang Xueming put a row on his forehead, and then translated it clearly for Dongfang Sheng one by one, and he said the data, and then Wang Xueming wrote it by hand.
About an hour later, Carlos returned, and the two began to prepare things to do a physical test for Dongfang Sheng. (To be continued.) )
