On February 2, a giant arrives at Newark's South Hill training camp to meet the elder Dewar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Devil" George Foreman!

After listening to his intentions, Old Dewar frowned and said, "George, are you serious?" ”

Foreman said, "Of course. ”

Old Dewar shook his head and said, "Do you know what that means? You're forty-seven years old and have had a glorious and great career, so maybe you should pick an easier opponent than a tall one. ”

Foreman smiled: "Look, it's all the same, after I came back nine years ago, everybody said, 'You shouldn't be like this,' 'You're going to get hurt,' but since then, I've been on a high trajectory and I've been unharmed." ”

Old Dewar said: "Gao Yuan is a complete offensive boxer, with a huge physique and a strong style, he is different from anyone you have met, for the sake of your health, I think you should probably give up this idea." ”

Foreman said confidently: "Sir, you know how many paid viewers I can sell, you also know how much attention I can attract, you are a mature and professional boxing promoter, I can't find any reason why you would refuse." ”

Old Dewar paced back and forth, lost in thought.

Playing against Foreman, who can say no? Who's going to push a lot of money out? Five years ago, Foreman fought Holyfield and bought more than 1.36 million households in the United States to buy live broadcasts on paid channels, with a total of nearly 50 million, a record high; Two years ago, Foreman knocked down Muller, breaking the world record for the oldest person to be crowned king, shaking the world; A year ago, Foreman called Tyson, and MGM directly offered a sky-high price of nearly hundreds of millions without thinking...... It can be said that Foreman is a living legend, a golden sign in the boxing world, and his influence is so wide that he has surpassed almost all the first-line boxing champions in the current service!

The reason why the old Dewar was hesitant was completely out of the worried mentality of his compatriots, and he was really afraid that an accident would happen in the game, causing irreparable tragedy and disaster. But as a boxing promoter, who can resist this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Old Dewar gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! ”

Foreman smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that I will have to live in your training camp for a while and start negotiations as soon as possible." ”

(Note: In '94, Foreman was named the best boxing agent of the year because he challenged the left-hand champion Muller to complete all the details of the negotiations himself, from beginning to end, and he did it very successfully, and Lao Fu did the same in the later fights.) He doesn't need a brokerage company or a boxing promoter now, he can do everything himself. After getting rid of the layers of commissions, Foreman's income can be maximized, sweeping a huge amount of money, and putting all the benefits into his pocket. Of course, people's success cannot be replicated, and in the entire history of boxing, there is only one such awesome figure like him. ）

Two days later, the elder Dewar officially announced the news that Foreman would fight against Gao Yuan's boxing match, and as soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation all over the world.

The battle of a generation of legends, the ultimate dialogue between two generations of heavy gunners, how topical and hype!

After the IBF heavyweight boxing champion Gao Yuan ascended to the top, many famous boxers jumped out to call out the real and false, including the devil Foreman at that time, but the majority of boxing fans didn't take the forty-seven-year-old man seriously, they all thought he was joking, who knew that he was serious!

Although he was not favored by boxing experts because of his age, and although Foreman did not perform well in the match with Schultz, the giant has always been good at creating miracles, and many public opinion still have infinite hopes for him.

Some of the top fighters who have had a huge impact have also expressed their opinions.

Tyson said: Forty-seven-year-olds should live at home and not show up in the ring, which is very dangerous, this is a step backwards in boxing, it doesn't make any sense.

Muller, the left-hand boxer: Foreman stole the opportunity that should have been mine......

Holyfield: I have a lot of respect for Mr. Foreman, but for the sake of his health, I wasn't expecting this to happen.

……

On February 5th, a four-party team consisting of Dewar Lao, Foreman, MGM Grand, and HBO finally began formal negotiations on the IBF Championship at Nanshan Training Camp.

On February 7, Gao Yuan flew to Newark and participated in the whole meeting. This match may become the most important battle since he entered his career, the most lucrative battle, and the once-in-a-lifetime battle for the gods, and he can't help but take it seriously. As a result, Gao Yuan was very fortunate to spend nearly twenty days with one of his idols, the king of heavy artillery, Foreman, and was fortunate to have the opportunity to understand another side of him.

Foreman is a charismatic complex. In the ring, he is brave and fearless; At the negotiating table, he spoke sharply; In life, he has a sense of humor and is impressive in every way.

In the interval between negotiations, Gao Yuan still took a lot of time out every day to run, swim, and exercise, and did not dare to relax his requirements for a moment, and Lao Fu ...... Ahem, except for the occasional walk, Gao Yuan has never seen him exercise. Perhaps, Foreman will just sweat it out during training camp. It's offseason, after all.

Every once in a while, Gao Yuan could always meet Forman in the restaurant, and the amount of food made him extremely embarrassed. The old boxing champion is not taboo at all, what he likes, high-fat, high-calorie fried food, desserts, drinks, all come and do not refuse, and they are all happy. According to Gao Yuan's estimate, Foreman's current weight should be around two hundred and seventy pounds......

Around February 10th, a new issue of "Boxing Magazine" was published, and the results of the voting attracted widespread attention.

15 Best Boxing Promoter of the Year: Old Dewar.

Best boxing match: Gao Yuan VS Mercer.

Best Fighter: Takato.

Best knockout: Taka knocks out Mercer.

(Note: It's not too much of an exaggeration, Foreman put down Muller in '94 and reaped almost all the glory for him in one game.) Including Best Agent, Best Fight, and Best Knockout. ）

The magazine wrote: In 12 months, from WBO boxing champion to IBF champion, from knocking out Morrison and Lide, to Mercer and Schultz, this tough Eastern heavy gunner has written his own legend with his unparalleled strength and left his own footprints in the history of boxing, and we have reason to believe that his future is full of brightness......

The honor of "accident" instantly pushed Gao Yuan's classmates to the forefront, when did the yellow-skinned Chinese boxer enjoy this? Soon, some ill-intentioned fans jumped out to question the magazine's "fairness", shouting about "favoritism" and "shady", but soon they collectively shut up and were speechless. Because of the results of "Boxing Illustrated", "Iron Fist Network", and "MMA Network" that were announced one after another, the best fighters were all under the same name......

PS: When Lilia first came out, Lao Hu explained that she was six years older than Gao Yuan and would become a member of the team in the future. The heroine's question is difficult to reconcile, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone, I hope everyone cares more about boxing itself, such as the upcoming "Battle of Thor".
