Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 910 - 644 Go Bob_2

They only fight challengers who have earned the mandatory qualification.

After finishing the match against Robert Allen, Link returned to his home country.

The outcome of the match, along with its broadcast on news channels and ESPN, sparked considerable discussion in the boxing ring.

Initially, many people thought Link was bragging when he said he would KO all middleweight boxers in one round—it seemed utterly impossible.

But now, seeing Link take down a boxer ranked in the top 50 middleweights in just one round, it showed that his strength was undeniably impressive. Even if there was some exaggeration, it wasn't by much.

Besides, back in '98, Hopkins was 33 years old, young and robust. At that time, it took him seven rounds to defeat Robert Allen, but Link only needed one round.

In comparison, many began to believe Link might genuinely have a chance to beat Hopkins and take away the Golden Belts of the four major organizations he held.

Some reporters interviewed Hopkins, asking if he was nervous.

Hopkins bared his white teeth and said he had thoroughly figured out Link's style and tactics. If he faced Link, he was confident he could crush him.

"Haha, Link, well done. More and more people are starting to recognize your strength. As long as you keep it up, I can guarantee you'll become an exceptional boxer, like Pacquiao or Mayweather, in the future."

Bob Arum called and said.

"Bob, I'll do my best. When's the next match? Alright, I'll wait for your arrangement."

In his apartment, Link put down his phone, and at the same time, Citibank sent over a transfer notification. A sum of 360,000 US Dollars had been deposited into his account—this was his share of the income from this match.

Compared to his earnings while fighting matches in the United States previously, the income share was much smaller and its growth was slow.

The main reason was that he was a Huaxia boxer with a relatively short career. To establish himself in the European and American boxing scene and earn over ten million in revenue shares, he would need more victories and more extensive promotion.

"Zilin, what's wrong?"

Link returned to the study and saw Zhang Zilin pulling her hair, making it slightly disheveled, her delicate brows furrowed with a troubled expression.

"Working on problems. Exams are coming up. I fell behind on a lot of subjects recently because I had been busy with training, so now I have to catch up."

Zhang Zilin patted the textbooks and notebooks on the desk with her hand.

"Take it step by step. If you study a little every day, you should be able to catch up by the finals."

Link smiled and said.

Zhang Zilin gave him a side-eye, grabbed his arm, and shook it while whining, "You're so amazing, getting better and better, but I'm still stuck in the same place. I'm even worried about failing exams. Will you think I'm too dumb and kick me out one day?"

"What nonsense. A girl as beautiful, smart, and kind as you is rare to find. How could I ever let go of you?"

Link chuckled softly and sat down, pulling her into his arms.

"Really?"

Zhang Zilin leaned against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You said you want to become Miss World. The first thing you need to learn is confidence—not just in yourself but to boldly show it in front of others. Confidence will make you more beautiful and excellent. If you keep overthinking and doubting yourself, it will affect your appearance and aura, making others miss seeing your brilliance. Understand?"

Link pinched her nose gently as he spoke.

Zhang Zilin blinked her eyes and smiled, nodding her head.

Link was a sentimental and homely person. When he wasn't training, he liked to stay at home, read books, play piano, or chat with Zhang Zilin.

Over time, even though he didn't have particularly deep feelings for Zhang Zilin, he had grown used to her presence and enjoyed spending time with her. This kind of companionship felt simpler and lighter than when he spent time with Zhou Xun, Gao Yuanyuan, Princess, or Lin Zhilin—it was without any burdens.

Similarly, in this companionship, he could also feel Zhang Zilin becoming more and more dependent on him, like a vine tightly entwining him.

Link enjoyed being loved, just like with Taylor and Ivanka back then.

In his time with Zhang Zilin, he would also reciprocate her feelings to a certain extent, to avoid hurting her.

Now, beyond her studies, Zhang Zilin was also preparing to enter the Miss World beauty pageant under the suggestion of her company.

To achieve good results in a beauty pageant, a tall figure and striking looks alone wouldn't suffice; one also needed knowledge, taste, and social skills.

When he had free time, Link would teach her foreign languages, take her to concerts or high-end galas to broaden her horizons and cultivate her social abilities.

Compared to last year, Zhang Zilin now not only had a taller and more graceful figure but also made significant progress in knowledge and conversation. She was poised and elegant, gradually becoming outstanding.

Dating such an exceptional beauty undoubtedly provided a more fulfilling sense of satisfaction, both physically and mentally.

By mid-to-late November, while awaiting his next match during training, he also took some time to record songs for his second album in the recording studio of Wheatfield Music.

The second album consisted of 16 songs, 13 of which were of decent quality, had a high level of recognition, and suited his style. The other three were English songs: "All of Me," "Dream It Possible," and "Good Time."

Including English songs in the second album was partly an experiment to see if the European and American music scene could accept music by a Huaxia artist.

On the other hand, the Huaxia music industry was going through a transition period. Influenced by the European and American music scenes, artists enjoyed incorporating English songs and rap into their albums, as it seemingly elevated the album's prestige—a trend that fans eagerly embraced.
