Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 858 - 616: World Championship Winner_2

Sean Gibbons clenched his fists, staring intently at Link as if he saw a shining mountain of gold.

Having watched two of Link's previous matches, they had high regard for him in their hearts, but it was only after this match that they realized they had underestimated him. Link's strength was much greater than expected, and his potential was even larger.

Link's style in the ring was also fantastic; he advocated for offense, was accustomed to trading blows with opponents, and could even knock out rivals in amateur matches.

If turned pro, Link's performances would certainly be even more spectacular, and the matches he participated in would be supported by the audience.

From this perspective, Link not only had strength but also a high commercial value.

"Hey, Sean, Dmitri, how about letting us from Queensberry take Link? I'll buy you drinks if it works out."

Frank Warren from Queensberry Promotions called out.

Sean Gibbons and Dmitry Salita glanced at him, too lazy to bother with his proposition. A young and strong boxer like Link, with a striking image, could turn into a money tree after a few years in the professional boxing ranks, earning hundreds of thousands of US Dollars per fight, and possibly millions if managed properly.

Frank Warren actually thought he could trade with a meal?

He must be dreaming.

Seeing the indifference of the two, Frank Warren gritted his teeth and said softly, "I can give you each ten thousand US Dollars as compensation, just don't contact Link before the end of the championship. Let me talk to him first, what do you say?"

"You think you can buy me? Forget it, I'm not the kind of agent who's swayed by money."

"Neither am I."

Sean Gibbons and Salita said.

"Hmph, then let's see who has what it takes to sign Link."

Frank Warren snorted coldly.

On the ring, Martin Murray lay on the boxing ring for seven or eight seconds before staggering to his feet, his face bruised and swollen, fearfully looking at Link.

"Boxing!"

The referee announced that the match would continue.

The weather was too hot, and with poor ventilation in the gymnasium, fighting in the ring was a struggle.

Link didn't plan to drag out the match. As soon as the referee signaled the start, he touched gloves with his opponent, and as his adversary quickly retreated, Link followed closely, ignoring the defense and raining down blows like drumsticks in rapid succession.

Left Swing Punch + Right Swing Punch + Left Straight Punch + Right Straight Punch, bam bam bam bam, one punch after another landed on the opponent's body.

With 16 seconds left in the first round, he delivered a heavy Right Swing Punch that blasted through his opponent's guard and harshly hit the side of his opponent's face.

Despite the headgear reducing the impact, the force of the punch still exceeded 300 pounds, distorting the opponent's facial muscles as his head was violently flung to the left, his mouthguard, and saliva thrown out together.

Bang!

Like a felled tree, Martin Murray toppled sideways and lay flat on the boxing ring.

"Wow!"

The Thai audience and foreign tourists below shouted in unison.

Typically, boxers who make it to the grand finals of a championship are closely matched in skill, resulting in sticky and unappealing fights.

But today's grand final was an eye-opener as the boxer from Huaxia, Link, managed to knock down his opponent with heavy punches twice in the first round, treating his opponent like a punching bag.

Such strength was too powerful.

This kind of match was also amazing, even more thrilling than a professional boxing competition.

"Link, well done!"

"Link, champion!"

Thousands of spectators in the audience cheered loudly towards the boxing ring.

"Link, awesome!"

Several teammates from the Huaxia boxing team also shouted loudly.

The ring referee counted to 10 beside Martin Murray, who struggled a few times before resigning himself to lie on the ring looking up at the ceiling.

After counting to 10 with no movement from Martin Murray and signaling to the referees below, the ring referee walked over to Link, grabbed his right fist, and raised it high.

Clap clap clap!

A wave of enthusiastic applause and cheers broke out below.

The chairman of the World Championships committee, Jack Sanders, and the Thai Minister of Tourism and Sports, Sano Sorawong, went up to present Link with a gold medal and a check for fifty thousand US Dollars.

The prize money for the World Boxing Championships is provided by the International Boxing Federation (AIBA), and the amount of money allocated each year varies, mainly depending on the amount of advertising sponsorship AIBA receives and the amount of funds the host government is willing to provide.

This year, the total prize money for the World Boxing Championships is 1.7 million US Dollars, which is approximately 12 million RMB.

This prize money of 1.7 million US Dollars will be distributed among the champions, runners-up, and third-placers in the 20 male and female categories after the competition. This year, each category's champion gets about fifty thousand US Dollars, the runner-up twenty thousand, and third place approximately ten thousand.

As the champion, Link's prize was fifty thousand US Dollars, but this money was not his alone.

According to the regulations of the Sports Center, boxers have to give up 50% of their prize money to the coaching and support team after the competition.

However, Link was not developed by the Kyoto City Sports Center. According to the temporary cooperation agreement with coach Zhao Liwei before the competition, he only had to contribute 20%, to be used as activity funds.

In the end, he would get forty thousand US Dollars.

After the match, Link didn't leave immediately. He sat in the spectator stands, watching the 48kg final match where Zou Shiming faced the Russian star Kazakov.

Kazakov had won the European Youth Boxing Championship and was somewhat taller than Zou Shiming, with decent strength, speed, explosive power, and powerful heavy punches.

After the start of the match, Zou Shiming continued to use his defensive counterattacking boxing technique, leading 4:3 after the first round.
