Chapter 639: Boxing match being arranged

"Look at this report!"

At night, in the bedroom of the apartment, Zhang Zilin leaned on his shoulder and handed the newspaper in his hand for him to read.

Zhang Zilin was reading the "Kyoto Evening News". One of the commentary articles was titled, "Why did Link keep such a low profile after returning to China after he shined in the Olympics?"

The newspaper complained that Link seemed to disappear after the Olympics.

During this period, he only participated in three press conferences, two media interviews, and two TV program interviews. He did not participate in any other activities. His exposure to the media was lower than that of ordinary Olympic champions.

This situation is completely unlike a super athlete who has achieved amazing results in the Olympics.

Later, the reporter from the newspaper interviewed people from the administration with this question in mind.

The answer given by the authority is that Link is preparing to enter the professional boxing ring this year and is currently training. In addition, Link is a student of the University of Physical Education. Now that school is open, Link also has to take classes.

The newspaper later praised Link for being amazing. He took classes and trained at the same time, and took time to participate in the Olympic Games. However, he won 3 gold medals and 1 silver in four different events. It was unprecedented and unprecedented.

He caught Link again and praised him mercilessly.

"Our classmates also said that you are too low-key. You are a super athlete and a popular singer. Logically speaking, the media should report on you during this period, but now there are not as many news reports on you as Liu Xiang and Zhang Yining."

Zhang Zilin said.

Link smiled softly and told her about actively declining the interview.

in the country, people who make a fortune quietly live more comfortably than those big stars.

His current goal is to participate in boxing matches, make money, invest, and quietly make a fortune. Fame is a by-product for him.

In addition, during the Olympic Games, the domestic media conducted a large number of reports on his deeds. During that time, whether on TV, newspapers, radio, or on the Internet, all the news was about him. The Chinese people all knew that there was a fierce man like him in the country.

Even if there is no media coverage, no one will ignore his existence.

No amount of exposure will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"It doesn't matter if you don't participate. You can concentrate on training and class, and you don't have to fly around like Liu Xiang."

Zhang Zilin smiled.

Link looked at her. She was wearing sexy suspender pajamas, revealing her fair arms and collarbones. Compared with last year, her figure was plumper and rounder. Even the cup size on her chest was one size larger. Her calves were placed on the blanket. , smooth and round, well worth playing with.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhang Zilin covered his chest with his hands and laughed.

"It's eight o'clock, it's time to go to bed."

Link took the newspaper from her hand and turned off the light. Amidst Zhang Zilin's screams, the night began to become noisy.

——

The next day, Link continued to get up early and run 15,000 meters every day. When he returned home with breakfast at around nine o'clock, Zhang Zilin rubbed his butt and got up slowly. When he sat down, he glared at him with red cheeks.

After breakfast, Link drove her to school. On the way, he received a call from Sean Gibbons. Gibbons told him that the professional competition had been arranged.

The current three major organization gold belts in the middleweight field belong to Bernard Hopkins, including WBA-WBC-IBF, and the WBO middleweight gold belt belongs to De La Hoya.

The match between the two will be held on the 19th of this month.

The winner will become the dominant player in the middleweight division.

In order to challenge the new overlord, he needs to first sign up for a boxing organization's qualifying competition, get a good ranking in the organization through the qualifying competition, and then pass the boxing championship challenger qualifying competition to obtain the legal challenger status.

If all goes well, he can challenge the new middleweight hegemon next year.

Sean Gibbons suggested that he participate in WBA organization qualifying, and WBA middleweight qualifying begins in mid-October.

Link said he understood and asked him to make arrangements for the game and he would go directly to the arena to play.

Sean Gibbons asked him if he wanted to fight in Asia for a year first, practice his basic skills first, and wait until he adapts to the rhythm of professional competitions before he can compete for the world boxing championship gold belt?

Because there are too many boxing masters in the middleweight field now.

'Hangman' Hopkins, 'Golden Boy' De La Hoya, Sean Morris, Leonard Wright, Riccardo Mayorga, Jermaine Taylor, etc., are all top boxing hand.

At this time, it is extremely difficult to get the gold belt in the middleweight field.

Link said it didn't matter and asked him to try his best to arrange the game and leave the game to himself.

"Is it a professional fight to box on the stage without wearing a hood?"

Zhang Zilin asked.

"Yes, professional games are better to watch."

"Without protection, will it hurt if you hit me?"

"No, I'm very fast and most people can't hit me, so you don't have to worry."

When the car arrived at the entrance of Beida University, Zhang Zilin came over to kiss him, got out of the car and walked into the school with a small satchel in hand.

Link drove back to school and received another call from Lin Zhilin on the way, asking him if he still remembered his last agreement to attend the program hosted by her after the Olympics.

Link said he remembered when the show would be recorded and he would prepare in advance.

"Link, you are really willing to participate in our show. I have heard from many colleagues that you are the most difficult guest in the industry to invite."

Lin Zhilin asked in a soft voice.

"No, I have been training boxing recently to prepare for a professional competition in October, so I have done very little media activities."

"Competition in October? Then if I invite you over, will it disturb your training?"

"A little bit, so you need to treat me to dinner."

"Ha, no problem! I can cook whatever dishes you like at home."

Lin Zhilin asked with a smile.

"I'm not picky about food, just your specialty dishes."

"You are so good at ordering. You asked me to show off your special skills as soon as you opened your mouth. Okay, I agreed. Is it okay to record the show this week? If it's not convenient, it's fine next week."

"It's not a big problem. I'll report it to the bureau and try to come over before Saturday."

"Great, I'll make preparations here and wait for you to come."

After chatting with Lin Zhilin, who had a soft voice, for a few minutes, Link drove to the University of Physical Education and made a phone call to Director Li Zhichun to tell her that he had promised a friend to go to Taiwan to participate in a program interview in May.

Director Li Zhichun said it was not a big problem, but asked him to be careful when speaking and not to be fooled by the Taiwanese hosts.

Link made it clear.

Not long after hanging up the phone, director Li Zhichun called again and said that since he agreed to participate in Taiwan TV programs, he could not refuse the program invitation from Hong Kong TV stations.

There are also several TV stations in Japan and South Korea who want to invite him to appear on the show.

The bureau's intention was to let him represent the national team.

On the one hand, strengthening cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and neighboring countries is conducive to maintaining regional peace and stability. On the other hand, Link going abroad for publicity is a kind of cultural export, which is beneficial to him personally and to the country.

Hearing that Li Zhichun elevated the media interview to the level of world peace, Link could only agree.

After arriving at the school, he asked for leave from the counselor. The counselor didn't even ask too many questions and told him to rest assured that he could do publicity without worrying about anything else. The school promised not to hold him back.

Link continues to train in the school boxing ring. Now he is an Olympic champion and a boxing star. Every time he trains, there are always many people around. People who know boxing or not look at him with expressions of admiration.

In the 69kg final, Link knocked out his opponent with one punch and won the gold medal in just 21 seconds.

This is a huge encouragement and stimulation for domestic boxers.

Now when domestic boxers talk about him, they are all full of praise and worship him as an idol.

Because he is so famous, many people come to the boxing ring every day to watch him train, and students from many surrounding universities also come to join in the fun.

Considering that there were too many people and it was not suitable for training, Link planned to buy a yard nearby and transform it into a training base.
