Soon, the third round began.

Although David Tua rested for more than a minute, this did not allow him to change the situation, he was still Zhou Quan's mobile target, forcing him to keep hugging.

In two minutes, Zhou Quan hit his opponent three times again, and David Tua's left cheekbone was opened, a large piece of skin hung on it, and blood flowed to the top of his neck.

"Bang!"

At the 135th second of the third round, Zhou Quan struck his fourth hard blow of the round, a ferocious left uppercut, which hit David Toah's chin and knocked him out for the second time.

"Oh!"

After being pushed away by the referee, the excited Zhou Quan rushed to the side of the guardrail and roared frantically at countless fans.

"Oooooooooo......oo

Countless fans yelled and shouted at Zhou Quan, and the atmosphere in the Great Western Forum Arena was about to burn, and the huge and crazy shouts couldn't stop at all.

But David Tua still stood up, only after standing up this time, he shook his head continuously, and the strong vertigo made him a little unsteady on his feet.

"Iron Fist, deal with him, it's time, don't give him a chance to stand up." Coach Hans roared under the ring.

“KO！ KO！ KO……”

Loud, neat shouts rang out incessantly.

“Box！”

The referee gave an order, and the third round continued.

"There are 15 seconds left." McGee exclaimed.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Zhou Quan didn't give David Tua a chance to breathe, and immediately overwhelmed his opponent with a rainstorm of attacks.

Successive hooks and uppercuts landed on David Toua's left and right clapp, causing him to shake and force him to raise the height of the stand to protect his temples and left and right temples, leaving his chin open.

"Uppercut!"

At that moment, Wilkins let out a loud shout.

"Bang!"

Between Zhou Quan's waist and arms, a fierce right hand hook slammed into David Tua's chin.

At the moment of the punch, David Tua's head fell back violently, and even his upper body fell back, saliva and protective gear were all knocked out, and then the whole person fell backwards.

“Stop！”

The referee rushed up and pushed Zhou Quan away violently.

"Oh!"

The crowd erupted in shouts, and countless fans raised their arms in cheer for the knockout they were looking forward to.

"Punch KO! Punch KO! I bet he won't be able to get up! I bet ......" Wilkins yelled excitedly from the ESPN commentary booth.

"The eleventh thump, the seventh head blow, the third knockout of the opponent with the iron fist, can David Tua still stand up now?" McGee yelled with the same excitement.

In the ring, the referee ordered Zhou to step back to the neutral corner and began to check David Toah's condition. He didn't count the seconds, because it didn't feel like it was necessary, and David Tua had obviously been knocked unconscious.

Zhou Quan retreated to the neutral corner and began to interact with the fans, and wave after wave of shouts rang out.

At this moment, the referee scored with both hands and made a move to end the game.

“KO！”

Seeing this, Wilkins and McGee drank at the same time.

"Oooooooooo......oo

The huge shouts rose again, and this time it really reached its peak.

"Congratulations to Iron Fist, you are already ranked No. 7 in the WB heavyweight world, an absolute first-class professional heavyweight, and you are qualified to challenge for the world boxing title." Wilkins laughed.

"Congratulations to Iron Fist, you sold 350,000 copies in your first professional fight, and 880,000 copies of the PPV in this fight, which is the sales of the top fighters, and you will make a lot of money." McGee said with a look of envy.

"Click, click, click......"

The referee raised Zhou Quan's right hand, and at this moment, the camera in the hands of the media reporter began to flicker wildly.

Surrounded by everyone, he stepped out of the ring and began to accept congratulations from friends and reporters, as well as interviews.

This time, Cheng Derong did not hesitate to send a hug.

That night, Stallone was talking and threw a grand congratulatory party for Zhou Quan, inviting all the celebrities and celebrities who went to see the boxing match.

Roger Philip calculated an account for Zhou Quan, 880,000 PPV sales income is close to 40 million US dollars, he gets 35% of it, about 14 million, and then remove 2% to WBC, 30% of the promoter, he can finally get 9.5 million US dollars, plus the share of commercial income such as advertising sponsorship box office, and 10 million appearance fees, he will earn nearly 25 million US dollars in this boxing match.

"So much?"

Zhou Quan was a little surprised that the income from a boxing match would be half of the new contract he had just signed.

Philip smiled: "This is your current commercial value, there are not many boxers like you in the world, and most of the world boxing champions are not as high as your commercial value."

I have to say that the exposure of nearly 100 games in a season in the NBA is very important to you, and it has a very strong exposure effect.

Those world champions don't even have a tenth of your exposure, so they don't even receive advertising endorsements. ”

At this time, the chairman of the WBC came over, had a cordial conversation with Zhou Quan, and then pulled Philip aside to talk about things.

"Zhou Quan, isn't it 10 million, how did it become 25 million dollars?" After the others walked away, Wang Guxian asked in surprise.

"It's mainly pay-TV broadcast revenue." Zhou Quan explained with a smile.

"880,000 people pay, what level?" Wang Guxian asked curiously.

"Well, at present, it is considered the top, except for Tyson, a few of them who have a very influential world boxing champion, basically few boxing matches break one million, two or three hundred thousand is very good." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

At this time, Philip beckoned to Zhou Quan and motioned for him to come over.

After Zhou Quan walked away, Wang Guxian said to Cheng Derong: "Xiaorong, make 200 million Hong Kong dollars in one night, I helped you introduce a money-making machine!" ”

Cheng Derong blushed and said, "Sister Xian, it's his money, not mine." ”

"Isn't he generous to you?"

Wang Guxian looked at Cheng Derong and said with a smile: "Clothes and jewelry are the best, this set is a lot of money, right?" ”

Cheng Derong nodded and laughed.

At this time, Zhou Quan, Philip, and WBC Chairman Siegel were chatting about the next boxing match.

Siegel is very hopeful that he will be able to schedule a World Champion Challenge next year, but until then, there will be another qualifying match, which is to compete with another fighter for the World Title Challenge.

……

"A boxing match made $25 million, and it's a super gold-absorbing machine in heavyweight boxing." New york times.

"God-level dodge ability, god-level precision strike ability, after Ali and Iron Man Michael, is the heavyweight boxing world about to usher in another peerless boxing champion?" Washington post.

"A stormy offense, Tekken showcased the most gorgeous striking techniques, and he will challenge for the world champion." The Seattle Times.

"Iron Fist destroyed the super beating king David Tua with the most furious attack and the most incredible dodging ability, and he made Tyson Jr. a joke, and he will have a good chance of becoming the next professional heavyweight world champion." Los Angeles Daily News.

"Super crossover king Iron Fist, will there be a new king in heavyweight boxing? No, we don't think so, the Chinese have no boxing talent, and Iron Fist will be completely destroyed in front of real boxing champions, such as Lewis. "The British Tydon newspaper.

"Iron Fist, the most successful crossover, but his boxing prowess should need further validation." German Bild.

"Zhou Quan, a world-famous sports superstar and professional basketball player in China, easily knocked out his opponent in only three rounds in last night's professional boxing heavyweight match, and is currently ranked seventh in the WBC world heavyweight division, ninth in the IBF, eighth in the WBO, and eleventh in the WBA." Inmin Daily

The next day, Zhou Quan made the front pages of countless media outlets around the world.

After this boxing match, after the recognition of the media and professionals, Zhou Quan officially became a first-class fighter in professional boxing, and his box office appeal in the boxing world reached the level of a top boxing champion.

Of course, there are also media who question his strength, which requires him to use one victory after another to shut them up.

Because of the super high attention and attraction of professional boxing heavyweights, as well as his worldwide influence, his exposure has skyrocketed, frequently appearing on the front pages of media around the world, and his world popularity and influence, not to mention surpassing Jordan, at least have not lost to him.

On the 2nd, Zhou Quan was interviewed by the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine.

On the 4th, Zhou Quan appeared on the cover of Time magazine for the first time.

After winning last year, he didn't appear on the cover of Time magazine, which shows how influential this victory was.

"Zhou, be mentally prepared, you have to sign your name on many endorsement contracts." Philip said excitedly.

In the next few days, Zhou Quan received checks softly, and in just a few days, he signed an endorsement contract of nearly 20 million US dollars.

Countless fighters in the boxing world are very jealous of him, including many world champions.

Because even if they are world boxing champions, at most two or three boxing matches a year, or even one fight a year, the exposure cannot be compared with Zhou Quan, and they are not favored by sponsors.

But Zhou Quan's crossover success has also inspired countless athletes, especially some Olympic fighters who have achieved results in the Olympics, to be eager to turn into professional boxing.

There are also some professional and amateur fighters who have played basketball and want to move to the NBA. They feel that Zhou Quan can do it, and they can do it themselves.

……

On August 7, Zhou Quan and Cheng Derong's mother and daughter arrived in Seattle, and Philip also came over to help deal with some things.

After arriving at the villa, he got out of the car and saw the boundless Lake Washington for the first time, and Cheng Derong fell in love with it.

Zhou Quan pointed to the lake and said with a smile: "I have already designed the dock, it is in that location, and it will be built immediately, and I will buy a yacht in the future." ”

After speaking, he said with a little regret: "It's a pity that there are no fish in this lake, and the water is too clear." ”

"You designed the dock yourself?" Cheng Derong said in surprise.

"Yes, I'm an architecture major, and I'm a designer."

Zhou Quan said expectantly: "The water surface next to the pier is going to design a water park, and I can play there when I have children in the future." ”

"Kid?"

Cheng Derong was stunned.

In the following time, Zhou Quan began basketball training.

His basketball training team is also in place, with three hours of shooting training every day, two hours of other technical training, such as breakthrough and ball sense training, etc., one hour of physical training, another hour of boxing training and one hour of golf training, and eight hours of training every day.

In the case of someone picking up the ball and passing the ball, he can theoretically shoot about 600 times an hour, or even reach a thousand.

But the shooting counts, and the three-hour training volume, with the consumption of physical energy, the fatigue of the body deepens, the hit rate will be lower and lower, and the shooting frequency will be slower and slower.

A total of 111 rounds need to be completed for five shots, with 500 shots per round, adding up to 55,500 shots, and it takes 16 weeks to complete shooting training with five days off and two days off every week.

He can train at full strength in early to mid-August, report back to China in late September, have the World Championships in early September, and have preseason games in October, and he has calculated that he will probably be able to complete all the shooting training at the end of January or early February next year.

……

On August 21, Zhou Quan arrived in the capital.

He broke up with Cheng Derong, because the girl advocated Dink and didn't want her to age prematurely because of giving birth, how could he agree, the old Zhou family couldn't cut off the roots in his hands, so he decisively stepped on the brakes.

Liu Yumin pulled Zhang Li to pick up the plane and invited Zhou Quan to dinner, and called Jiang Xinquan, the head coach of the men's basketball team, to chat with him about the situation of the men's basketball team.

She said: "We have participated in the World Championships four times before, respectively, 11th, 12th, 9th, 14th, and have not yet made it out of the group stage, this time our lineup I think is still good, there are Hu Weidong, Sun Jun and a group of good young people, Jiang Gui also dares to use newcomers......"

Jiang Xinquan interjected with a smile: "It's just that I used a few young men from the Liaolin Provincial Team, and I am more familiar with their abilities." ”

He also wants to explain by the way, because now there is some gossip, saying that after he became the head coach, he only used people from Liaolin, not people from other provincial teams, so that now the national team has become the Liaolin team.

Nodding, Liu Yumin said: "But the original results were average, and the Olympic Games were lost too badly the year before last, and now I am a little lacking in confidence." ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Xinquan and said, "Fortunately, Director Jiang has played well in Asian competitions in the past two years and won two championships. ”

Jiang Xinquan's old face was a little red, the Olympics did lose miserably, but fortunately, Liu Yumin still trusted him and let him continue to coach the men's basketball team, which he was very grateful to his superior.

Zhou Quan nodded understandingly, the 92 Olympics did lose too badly, one winless, directly at the bottom, and his confidence has been shattered by those foreign teams.

Liu Yumin looked at Zhou Quan and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhou, this time I will point to you, I hope you can lead this men's basketball team to make progress, we all hope that this time we can make it out of the group stage." ”

Zhou Quan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Liu, as a member of the national team, I will do my best." ”

Jiang Xinquan said at this time: "Xiao Zhou, you have played hundreds of games this season, and you are tired, this time when you return to the national team, you will only carry out some intra-team joint training, sharpen tactics, and do the rest of the training yourself." ”

"Okay."

This was originally negotiated with Liu Yumin, and of course Zhou Quan had no opinion.
