The annual event of Boxing Magazine was held at the famous Javits Convention and Exhibition Center in New York. The event was arranged on Sunday afternoon local time and lasted until the evening. There were more than 500 guests, all of whom were well-known figures in the boxing industry.

Among them are the award-winning boxers and coaches such as this year's best boxer, best competition winner, best coach, and best newcomer, as well as other world-renowned current and former world boxing champions, famous coaches, boxing agents, and broadcast companies and sports news media reporters and other staff.

Wang Hao, William, Paul, and Sanchez came to the Javits Convention and Exhibition Center together. After registering at the welcome desk, they went straight to the annual meeting site. At this time, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the participants had already arrived. Most of it.

When Wang Hao and his group walked into the Javits Convention and Exhibition Center boxing magazine annual meeting, they quickly attracted the attention of other people on the scene, mainly because Wang Hao's identity as an Asian is a bit unusual here.

When Wang Hao walked into the annual meeting, he looked around for a week and found some very familiar faces.

At the scene, nearer to the stage of the annual meeting, sat the current pan-middleweight boxer, the most marketable boxer, the American "golden boy" Oscar de la Hoya, sitting beside him was the American boxer Another top boxer in the pan-middleweight class, and one of the later middleweight four little kings, "Sugar Loaf" Sean Mosley, and the middleweight overlord who has just begun to show dominance, is now IBF middleweight Super boxing champion American "The Executioner" Hopkins.

When Wang Hao entered the arena, Oscar de la Hoya also cast a concerned look at Wang Hao, while Mosley and Hopkins were chatting enthusiastically at this time.

"Look! This year's best rookie is here!" Oscar de la Hoya said to Mosley and Hopkins, and the latter two hurriedly looked at the entrance when they heard Oscar de la Hoya's words place.

Among Oscar de la Hoya, Mosley and Hopkins, only Oscar de la Hoya won the best newcomer of the boxing magazine in the year of his debut, and the award of the best newcomer of the year , although Mosley and Hopkins also looked forward to it when they debuted, but they are still a little unlucky.

Therefore, when they learned that Wang Hao, an Asian boxer, had won the Best Newcomer in Boxing Magazine, Mosley and Hopkins were also very envious. Complicated gaze.

"I heard that the WBO super lightweight gold belt you lost after the upgrade is already in Wang Hao's hands?" Hopkins also remembered something and asked Mosley.

"Yes! More than a week ago, in the WBO title match, Wang Hao defeated Camacho and won the WBO super lightweight title! He is now the owner of the WBA and WBO super lightweight world titles !” Mosley replied.

"It's amazing! You're still so young!" Hopkins glanced in Wang Hao's direction again, and responded, "You and De La Hoya have both been promoted and no longer play super lightweight competitions. Doesn't it mean that Wang Hao will become Ultra-lightweight ruler?"

"Not necessarily!" Before Mosley could answer, Oscar de la Hoya replied at this time, "The other two super lightweight boxing champion belts are on Costa Zu. If you want to unify the super lightweight class, you must pass the level of Costa Zu, and the match between the two will be very suspenseful!"

"I personally prefer Costa Zu!" Mosley said at this time.

Hearing what Oscar de la Hoya and Mosley said, Hopkins also thought of the boxer Costa Zu.

The boxers from the former Soviet Union, the Soviet-style boxing style completely different from the current boxers, the threatening right back fist, and the pigtail hanging behind the head, these are Costa Zu Xianliang, Eye-catching features.

Before Costa Zu made his debut, the top fighters in boxing were almost all European and American boxers. Although there were many good boxers in the former Soviet Union countries, they hardly played professional boxing.

There are not even as many professional boxers from the countries of the former Soviet Union as there are professional boxers smuggled into the United States from Cuba.

That changed with the emergence of Costa Zou, the first fighter from a former Soviet country to be embraced by the mainstream professional boxing audience.

"Costa Zu has just developed a Soviet style in the current professional boxing world! Unexpectedly, another Chinese boxer has an Asian style!" Hopkins also commented, "This is a good thing, for The development of professional boxing around the world is very beneficial!"

"Yeah!" Hoya nodded, "This is indeed! But there are still differences between Wang Hao and Costa Zu."

"There are no less excellent boxers in the countries of the former Soviet Union than those in Europe and the United States. Costa Zu is only a small number of professional boxers among the fierce tigers. Compared with Costa Zu, Wang Hao is definitely different. He grew up in the In Asia, where boxing is underdeveloped, it is absolutely a miracle that Wang Hao can stand out!"

Hopkins and Mosley nodded. Coming from Asia, where boxing is underdeveloped, Wang Hao can still become a top professional boxer, which is really admirable.

Wang Hao didn't notice that Oscar de la Hoya and Hopkins were talking about him, and his eyes swept over Oscar de la Hoya, Hopkins and Mosley a few times. After that, he looked elsewhere.

At the annual event of the boxing magazine, Wang Hao also saw Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Riddick Bow and Lewis, and even the old boxing champion Foreman, as well as the New Zealand heavyweight boxer David P. Tua.

These heavyweight boxing champions are scattered in different positions on the scene. They are tall and very conspicuous. Among them, the current WBC heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis and his coach Stewart are sitting in the second row. Holyfield, who won his bout with Tyson, sat in the front row with his coach, Turner. Wang Hao also saw Puerto Rican boxer Trinidad, another very famous pan-middleweight boxer and one of the later four middleweight kings, who was also sitting with his manager Don King prominent location.

In addition to these famous boxers and coaches, Wang Hao also saw some famous boxing referees and hosts, such as HBO's famous golden voice host Michael Buffel and SHOWTIME's famous golden voice host Jimmy Lennon were also present. The referees Kenny Bayless and Richard Steele also sat in different positions on the scene.

Apparently they were also invited guests at the annual meeting of Boxing Magazine.

Wang Hao has hardly met these famous boxing champions, coaches, managers, referees and hosts in person in his last life. Although he has seen many of them in this life, seeing so many top celebrities in the boxing world gather together, it is a great feeling for them. It was also the first time for Wang Hao, so the moment Wang Hao walked into the boxing magazine annual meeting, he was in a very good mood!

Wang Hao looked around the scene for a week, and together with William and others, under the guidance of the on-site waiter, walked to his position. At this time, a familiar figure greeted him.

"Hi! Dear Mr. Wang Hao! Hello!" The person who came was a tall and thin black man, very polite and polite.

Wang Hao followed the voice and saw that the other party was the famous American boxing manager, Al Haymon.

Wang Hao, who has the memories of his previous life, knows that Al Haymon is one of the most famous managers in the history of American boxing. His fame and strength are no less than that of Don King and Arum, but the Al Haymon of this era, The business has just started, and it is not as deep as the promotion company of Don King and Arum, but after entering the 21st century, especially the second decade of the 21st century, the boxer Mayweather under Al Haymon He and Pacquiao have achieved great success, and Al Haymon has also been named the best boxing agent by the American Boxing Association many times. His strength and fame have surpassed Don King and Arum at the time.

Wang Hao met Al Haymon in this life because at the Atlanta Olympics, after Wang Hao defeated Hernandez and won the gold medal, he was strongly recruited by Al Haymon. Al Haymon liked Wang Hao very much. And personally took action to recruit Wang Hao enthusiastically.

At that time, Tang Jin and Arum's brokerage companies also took a fancy to Wang Hao, but they all sent their young managers to approach Wang Hao, and obviously paid far less attention to Wang Hao than Al Hamon.

This made Wang Hao have a good impression of Al Hamon, but Wang Hao had already decided to start his boxing career in Germany and chose the Rhine Boxing Club. If Wang Hao decided to start his professional boxing career in the United States, he would probably choose Al Haymon.

Although Wang Hao is not currently a boxer under Al Haymon's banner, Al Haymon has always been fond of Wang Hao, especially after Wang Hao defeated Chavez and Camacho in a row, Al Haymon knew that Wang Hao was definitely not in the pool , will be another Hoya-level existence.

Moreover, Al Hamon knew that with Wang Hao's strength, he would definitely land in the United States in a short time. At that time, Al Hamon would have a chance.

Therefore, when he saw Wang Hao at the boxing magazine annual meeting, Al Haymon immediately got up from his seat, walked towards Wang Hao, and greeted Wang Hao warmly.

"I learned that you won this year's Best Rookie! You really deserve it, congratulations! Congratulations!" Al Haymon stretched out his hand, held Wang Hao tightly, and praised Wang Hao.

He didn't raise his hand to hit the smiling faces, and Wang Hao had a very good impression of Al Haymon. Wang Hao happily shook hands with Al Haymon and chatted.

However, at this time, William, who is also an agent, was a little unhappy. He didn't know if there was any purpose for Al Hemon to take the initiative to get so close to Wang Hao as an agent, but as a boxing agent, William He doesn't like other managers getting too close to his fighters.

Although William only signed a five-year contract with Wang Hao, in William's mind, he hoped that Wang Hao would stay at the Rhine Boxing Club. After all, it is rare to meet such an excellent boxer as Wang Hao in ten years.

Moreover, the boxing brokers in the United States are very strong. Even though the Rhine Boxing Club is already the best boxing club and brokerage company in Europe, the first-class brokerage companies in the United States are still obviously stronger than the Rhine Boxing Club.

The contact between Al Haimeng and Wang Hao made William unhappy, but also a sense of crisis. Seeing Al Haimeng talking with Wang Hao, William thought that he should raise Wang Hao's treatment a little bit higher.

After chatting with Al Heimon for a while, Wang Hao, William and the others sat in their seats. At this time, the annual meeting of Boxing Magazine will begin soon.

The boss of the boxing magazine first delivered a speech on behalf of the boxing magazine, and then the editor-in-chief of the boxing magazine spent 20 minutes stating and summarizing the major events and major matches that took place in the boxing world in the past year to all the guests present.

It naturally mentioned that Wang Hao entered the professional boxing world and won two super lightweight and two gold belts.

The editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine said: "This year, there are not only duels between senior boxing kings, like the battle between Tyson and Holyfield I just mentioned, but also stories of kings' revenge, such as Lewis defeating McCaw. Er, and the birth of a young king."

"Among them, the most typical is Mr. Wang Hao, who is super lightweight! Mr. Wang Hao was the double champion of the World Championships and the Olympic Games in the amateur boxing era. The old lightweight kings Chavez and Camacho! They have become the most dazzling rising stars in professional boxing this year!" the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine continued.

When the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine was narrating, there was also warm applause at the scene. Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Hopkins and other boxing celebrities all applauded to congratulate Wang Hao on his achievements.

"What is particularly difficult and valuable is that Mr. Wang Hao is from China in Asia. Although this ancient country has achieved brilliant results in sports such as table tennis and badminton, it has not made much achievements in boxing so far. Mr. Wang Hao It has created history, not only leading boxing in China and even the whole of Asia a big step forward!" The editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine gave Wang Hao a very high evaluation, and he was very pertinent.

There was warm applause again at the scene.

"Its difficulty, I think, is even far higher than that of a table tennis player from the United States who won the Olympic gold medal!" The editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine made a comparison with the table tennis sport that China is good at, which also caused a burst of good-natured laughter .

After the editor-in-chief of Boxing Magazine introduced the major events and major competitions in this year's professional boxing world, the scene entered the awarding session, where the best boxing match of the year, the best boxer of the year, the best newcomer of the year, and the best coach of the year will be awarded. Multiple awards.

At this time, the well-known HBO Golden Voice host Michael Buffel, who was sitting at the scene, stepped onto the stage, and he will serve as the host of the award presentation.
