Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 893 - 635: Competition and Date_3

Link smoothly won the match.

With three consecutive KO victories, he advanced to the finals.

Clap, clap, clap!

As Link stepped off the stage, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers. Many Greek spectators and foreign tourists stood up to applaud him—not only celebrating his victory but also his impressive performance in the boxing ring.

"10 million! Even if it costs me 10 million US dollars, I must sign Link."

In the audience, Eddie Hearn stared intently at Link and said.

"10 million US dollars? Isn't that too much?"

Dmitry Salita asked. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Not at all, Link is worth this price."

Eddie Hearn responded firmly.

"You couldn't sign Link for 5 million, and 10 million might still be difficult. Why does this guy have to perform so exceptionally?"

On the opposite side, Frank Warren from Queensberry Boxing Promotion Company sighed helplessly.

Last year, Link's asking price was 5 million US dollars. Everyone thought it was risky and hesitated to spend that much to sign him. Now, it's almost impossible to sign him for 5 million.

"Bob, Link just won this match. With a guaranteed runner-up position, plus the 1 gold and 1 silver he already has, 10 million might not secure him. Should we consider raising our offer?"

Sean Gibbons asked.

Bob Arum frowned and thought for a moment. Increasing the offer was inevitable, because a boxer like Link, even in the professional boxing ring, was of top-tier caliber. Signing him would add another World Boxing Champion to the company's roster.

Furthermore, Link is Chinese; new faces always attract attention and have high commercial value.

As for how much to offer for Link's contract, he planned to discuss it with Eddie Hearn, Nora Duvall, and others to try and limit the signing bonus within a feasible range.

Regardless of the situation, they couldn't let Link dictate terms. The boxing promotion company had to remain in control.

After the match, Link didn't leave immediately. He changed clothes backstage and returned to the audience area to watch the match between Aragon and the Russian boxer Saitov.

Tang Yan sat beside him, excitedly praising his dominance in the ring, claiming his opponent had no chance to fight back. She then commented that she used to dislike watching boxing matches but found them interesting after viewing his performance.

Link smiled and asked how her program preparations were going.

In the Athens Olympics closing ceremony, there was a "Huaxia 8 Minutes" segment designed to showcase Huaxia's culture and charm, attracting global tourists to watch.

Tang Yan's performance was "Jasmine Flower," where she would perform on stage alongside over a dozen girls dressed in colorful qipaos, holding erhu instruments.

Tang Yan mentioned that she'd rehearsed a few times back home and needed further practice here. She admitted feeling a bit nervous and asked if he ever felt nervous while competing in the ring.

Link replied that he didn't, but his opponents probably did.

Tang Yan covered her mouth and laughed.

On stage, the match between Aragon and Saitov began. Both fighters were skilled, but Aragon was stronger. He completely dominated his opponent in tactics and speed, punching while running, making it impossible for Saitov to hit him.

In the end, Aragon defeated Saitov with a score of 35:26, advancing to the finals.

In the next 69kg class final, Link would face Aragon on the afternoon of the 24th.

There were three days of rest in between.

Link could focus on preparing for the 5000-meter athletics competition the Day After Tomorrow.

After the match, Link invited Tang Yan to Concord Square in the city for a French meal. Tang Yan praised his fluent English and mentioned her plan to buy souvenirs at nearby shops after the Olympics ended. She asked if he could accompany her as a translator.

Link didn't refuse.

After dropping Tang Yan off at her hotel, where her performance team was staying, Link returned to the Olympic Village by car. He hadn't yet arrived at his dormitory when Kabayevo messaged him, asking if he wanted to hang out today.

Link invited her over.

A short while later, Kabayevo arrived wearing a white tank top and jeans, her golden brown curls flowing down her back, her figure voluptuous.

Accompanying her was her teammate, Irina Khazina, another rhythmic gymnastics athlete with a delicate face and an equally attractive figure—slightly slimmer than Kabayevo and exuding a more innocent charm.

Link invited both of them out for a meal, and they agreed.

He took them to a higher-end restaurant nearby for Italian food. Afterward, they strolled along Apollo Avenue, where he bought them both souvenirs. Around 5 PM, they all returned to the Olympic Village.

The two invited him to visit their dormitory.

Link didn't decline. He stopped by a nearby vending machine to grab a few small packs of supplies before heading to the Russian sports delegation's apartment building, which was quite similar to the Huaxia Team's accommodations but differed slightly in style.

Link toured their dorm for over three hours before returning to the Huaxia Team's dormitory building at dusk to avoid trouble being caught staying out overnight by his team.
