Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 849 - 611: Championship Winner_2

"I'm Link's coach, and his boxing was naturally taught by me."

Coach Zhao Liwei said.

"You? Hahaha, Zhao Liwei, no offense, but if you could teach a boxer of Link's caliber, I'd eat this boxing ring."

The head coach of the Shanxi Team pointed at the boxing ring and sneered.

Zhao Liwei's face darkened, and with a cold snort, he chose to ignore the other party.

The other party wasn't wrong; he indeed couldn't produce a boxer like Link. A few days ago, when he met Link, he wanted to teach him some training knowledge, but after watching Link's training, he wisely shut his mouth.

Because Link's boxing training is a very complete systematic training method, encompassing strength, speed, technique, and even intricate joint exercises. Link knew it all, even more than he knew.

There were some training methods he couldn't even comprehend until Link explained them, after which he suddenly realized and felt that he learned a lot from Link.

Once he affirmed he couldn't teach Link, he proactively supported him from behind, helping him request leave, applying for training subsidies, and preparing training equipment, among other things.

From the current situation, all his previous investments were worthwhile.

Bang!

On the boxing ring, Link landed another upper hook punch on his opponent's chin. The opponent staggered back two steps and crashed into the ropes, clinging to them shakily, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Before his opponent could strike again, the referee on the ring proactively stepped in front of him, declaring the match over.

Link knocked down his opponent three times within three rounds, leaving the opponent powerless to retaliate. The gap between them was significant, and continuing the match was pointless.

All three judges unanimously declared him the winner.

After the win, Link thought there would be a final match, but the boxing association directly declared him the champion of the 69kg weight class.

The reason was simple: in the 69kg class competition, he was the only one with seven consecutive victories, undefeated, while others had lost at least one match in the earlier rounds.

Ultimately, he became the champion of the National Boxing Championship at 69kg class this year, with Shanxi Team's Sang Lin coming in second, and Inner Mongolia Team's Chabilige clinching third.

The champion's prizes included a certificate, a gold-plated gold medal, and a cash reward of 20,000 yuan from the organizers of the boxing championship.

After returning to Capital City, the sports department of Kyoto City awarded him 10,000 yuan, the competitive center's boxing team rewarded him with 5,000 yuan, and encouraged him to continue competing, to strive for national glory in the next step.

At the same time, he was absorbed into the National Boxing Team, becoming the 69kg weight class backup boxer. To become an official 'national athlete', he still needs to achieve good results in international competitions. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Zhang Xiaoping, who accompanied him, lost in the final to Zhao Yong of the Anhui Team but was also accepted into the National Team.

Zou Shiming won the championship in the 48kg category.

This August, there is a World Boxing Championship with the champion automatically qualifying for the Athens Olympic boxing competition. The boxers who come in second and third will have to participate in another Olympic boxing Asian qualifying competition, where the top two qualify for the Olympics.

Since Huaxia's boxing team has never won a medal in the World Boxing Championships before, the rewards for this particular competition are generous.

If one can win the championship and secure an entry ticket for the country to the Athens Olympics, the boxing team leadership, indicating with a twirling forefinger, said that the minimum reward would be 100,000 yuan, with no ceiling, and even second and third-place finishers would get rewards between 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Therefore, the leaders want everyone to train hard and win glory for the country.

Counting with his fingers, Link figured that the prize money from the World Championship + Universiade + National Boxing Championship could add up to almost 200,000 yuan. Currently, the commodity housing price around the third ring of the city is only 4,250 yuan per square meter.

Based on these circumstances, with a bit more effort, he hoped to buy a small apartment in Capital City within the year.

Considering this, Link decided to stay in the university for the convenience of training, planning to move out after buying a house by the year's end to avoid the trouble of moving frequently.

In the aspect of companionship, since he trains and competes every day, he doesn't have the time to flirt around, and so he has met less than ten females so far, most of whom are coaches and teammates from the track team.

As for Zilin, she isn't a student of the Sports University, but occasionally comes for training, and since he's busy with his own daily training, he doesn't have time to look for her.

The two have known each other for half a month and have only had breakfast twice and went for a few runs together, making slow progress.

However, the summer vacation is approaching, and there's a college student sports event this summer. After vacation, he needs to train intensively at the school for a few days, then fly to South Korea to compete.

During the training camp, he can seek her out for a chat to increase their interaction.

Dinglingling! Dinglingling!

In the dormitory, the newly bought Nokia phone started ringing; it was a call from Zilin.

"Hey, Zilin, are you done with classes?"

Link asked, leaning back in the chair.

"Link, I just read the newspaper that said a sophomore from Sports University's School of Education, Link, won the national 69kg boxing championship. Is that you?"

Zhang Zilin asked over the phone.

"That's me!"

"Hmph, that's so inconsiderate. You call yourself a friend, but you didn't even tell me when you won the championship. Are you afraid I'll sponge a meal off you?"

Zhang Zilin said, pretending to be angry.

"It was just a small competition, not really a big happy event. I was planning to tell you after winning the championship at the World Championships in August. But now that you've found out early, I won't keep it from you. I've heard the braised lion's head in your school's cafeteria is pretty good. How about you treat me to a meal to celebrate?"

"Sure, so you wanted to sponge off my meal. Alright, come over, and I'll treat you to braised lion's head."

Zhang Zilin said with a laugh.

"OK! See you in a bit."

Link hung up the phone and smiled.

"Hey, Link, what's the occasion here?"

Bao Xiaohu came over with a smile and asked.

"Just a normal friend, still getting to know each other."

Link waved his hand, got up to wash his face, comb his hair, change his clothes, and took the souvenir he bought for her in West River.

"Tsk tsk, Link, it's a pity you don't become an actor with that look. If you became an actor, you'd surely be a superstar."

Bao Xiaohu said, eyeing him up and down.

"Not interested. My ambition is to compete in the Olympics and win glory for the country. Everything else is just passing clouds," Link said as he grabbed his phone.

"Nice awareness, but you're going out to chase a girl, right? I think you might need these."

Bao Xiaohu took out two small blue packages and winked at him.

"No thanks, I use the extra-large size. Yours aren't the right fit for me."

Link waved his hand and walked away.

"Extra-large, what nonsense!"

Bao Xiaohu flipped him the bird.

"It's actually no joke, I've showered with Link, oh my god, I'm so envious."

Jiang Weixing sized it up with his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

"Really? The guy's already handsome, getting more buff, and that capable too? In the future, he's going to be quite the ladies' man."

Bao Xiaohu said, somewhat enviously.

"Bao, I also want to find a girlfriend, any tips?"

Jiang Weixing asked with his hair standing on end.

Bao Xiaohu looked at his chubby physique, wanting to say no, but fearing he might crush his spirit, instead told him to train hard, win medals, and then the country would assign him a girlfriend.

"Really?"

Jiang Weixing's eyes widened with excitement.

Arriving at the entrance of Science and Technology University by car, he saw a florist selling roses, so he picked out a few pink blossoms and had the shop assistant wrap them up.

Carrying the fresh flowers, he entered the campus of Science and Technology University and saw Zhang Zilin from afar, standing beside the fountain at the small plaza, wearing a light blue dress, her long black hair flowing down, tall and beautiful, standing out in the crowd.

The surrounding students were either looking at Link, who held the fresh flowers, or at the girl whose cheeks were turning red, and in that moment, Science and Technology University had a lot more gossip going on.
