Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 585 - 442 The Competition Begins2

Chen Xiaochun heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa peeling an orange.

On TV, after the host finished introducing both sides of the match, he switched the cara to the audience.

"Wow, all the big stars, even more than at the Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Let's see who's who, Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Caowei, and Liu Jialin, Zhen Zidan, Zhang Xueyou, Princess, Xie Tingfeng, Gu Letian, Huang Rihua, Xu Guanjie, Tan Yongling, wow, even Zhou Runfa who hardly ever goes out is here, just too many...."

The cara panned around the VIP section and found it was all packed with Hong Kong Island's top stars.

So were dressed up, so casual with hats on, hiding their identities.

Seeing these people, viewers who didn't know any better might think this program was a live broadcast of the Film Awards ceremony.

Besides these stars, in the best visual spots around the boxing ring sat many of Hong Kong Island's tycoons and their families.

Family mbers from the Li, Huo, Lin, Guo families, and more, primarily the younger generations, were almost all present.

"Wow, even the young master of the Huo family can only sit in the VIP area, then who are those sitting in the luxury boxes?"

Chen Xiaochun exclaid in amazent at seeing these famous and wealthy people.

"Hmph, what does it matter to you who they are, didn't I tell you to start grabbing tickets last week? Where are the tickets?"

Ying Cai'er glanced at him angrily, hearing soone ring the doorbell, she threw down the remote control and got up to open the door.

Chen Xiaochun shrugged, his wife Ying Cai'er was a die-hard fan of Link, not only did she love Link's songs and movies, but now even his boxing matches - it was getting more and more dangerous.

Last week he got two VIP tickets from inside TVB.

Latter, his good friend Huang Guanzhong said he wanted to take his girlfriend Zhu Jun to the match but couldn't get tickets for the VIP seats, and asked if he had a way.

Chen Xiaochun gave both tickets to Huang Guanzhong without a second thought.

Later, when he told Ying Cai'er back ho that he hadn't secured them, Ying Cai'er had her agent try to buy them from scalpers, but unfortunately, they were too late to get VIP tickets.

And the viewing from the regular seats was average, not as good as watching the HD broadcast at ho.

Because of this, Ying Cai'er had been complaining to him for days, and today she complained the most.

But Chen Xiaochun didn't mind, his wife being so fiery and obsessed with Link, it wouldn't be good if Link noticed her; it was better to be cautious.

"Chen Xiaochun, stop lying there, hurry and see who's here."

Hearing Ying Cai'er shouting from outside the door, Chen Xiaochun looked up and saw his good friend Zheng Yijian and Xie Tianhua, each with their girlfriends, coming over with beers and snacks.

Chen Xiaochun chuckled and hurriedly got up, hooking his friends' shoulders as they sat down together to watch the boxing match.

At the match venue.

The host introduced a round of celebrity guests in the VIP seats.

According to incomplete statistics, today at the venue there were over five hundred celebrities from the two straits, three regions, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, etc., all with assets worth over ten million.

Probably even more celebrities didn't show up.

According to an analysis of the guests invited by TVB, the match was so popular among celebrities for several reasons.

The first reason was that boxing was a niche sport in Huaxia, and previously the four major boxing organizations hadn't hosted a world-class boxing match on Hong Kong Island.

This being the first ti, everyone was excited and thus ca to support it.

Another reason was Link, Link was also a central topic of this match.

His fa was too big, with various titles and accolades.

Previously, many might have seen his matches on TV or online, but never had the chance to watch live.

Now that Link was on Hong Kong Island organizing a match, it was a rare opportunity, naturally, everyone would support it.

And there were the third, fourth, fifth reasons.

Like WBA champion Belrut being an Asian with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, the successful promotion by the organizers, and the support from the officials, etc., all these reasons contributed to making this match a spectacular event.

The match was about to start.

Link and his opponent Belrut Shunov successively stepped onto the boxing ring.

"Wow, Link has an aweso body, so sexy!"

"Link can sing, act, and especially fight, he's amazing."

"I heard Link is worth over a hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, why would he still want to participate in such a dangerous competition?"

"The news said that Link's appearance fee for this match is almost three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, it's exaggerated, one match earns us a lifeti of money."

As Link entered the ring, the audience both at the venue and in front of TVs were bustling with discussions.

The n, envying Link's physique, were also jealous of his money-making ability.

The female viewers were simpler; they just purely admired Link's handso face and explosively strong body.

For this, Chen Xiaochun even got slapped because he changed the channel just as Link was coming on stage, which led his feisty wife to smack him on the thigh and strip him of the remote control privilege.

During Link's entry, a little incident occurred on site, a TVB cara swept across the back of the audience area and spotted a banner.

It read 'Defeat scumbag Link, win back the Heavenly Immortal sister, Belrut must win'.

This banner also received support from many Heavenly Immortal fans at the venue, who began to shout 'Belrut must win'.

Link saw the banner on stage and shrugged indifferently, his gaze turning to his opponent Belrut Shunov, with common Central Asian features, black hair, and black eyes.

The most significant achievent of his opponent was in 2008 when he defeated 'Ice Montell' Griffin.

Griffin was a forr WBC light heavyweight boxing champion, who had beaten boxing legend Roy Jones in March 1997, ending Jones's 35-match winning streak and handing him his first professional defeat.

From this perspective, it wasn't entirely luck that made Belrut Shunov a WBA champion in 11 matches; he had the strength to beco a light heavyweight world boxing champion.

Ding Ding Ding!

The match was about to begin, the ring referee started to announce the rules: no elbows, no holds, no strikes to the back of the head, no hits to the groin, and everyone must separate at the referee's cry of 'break', among others.

With limited ti, the referee only announced a few main ring rules, without listing them all.

Once sure both understood, the referee stepped back and raised his hand high with a downward chop.

"Boxing!"

The match started, Link and Belrut touched gloves and each took a step back, closely watching each other's movents.

At this mont, generally one side would take the initiative to strike, setting the pace of the match.

Link waited a second, seeing no initiative from the opponent who seed prepared to take a defensive stance in this match.

He didn't hesitate, moved closer aggressively, and swung his fist toward his opponent's body.

Thump!

It was unclear if his opponent was unprepared or had underestimated the power of his punch.

That punch directly penetrated the opponent's guard, hitting Belrut's chin.

Belrut staggered, saliva flying from the corner of his mouth, stepping rapidly backward twice, his back slamming into the right margin ropes before stabilizing.

"Wow!"

The audience let out a gasp, none having expected that just five seconds into the match Link could make such a successful punch right on his opponent's face, truly intense.

From this, it seed Link had not ssed around the night before.

"Go Link! Champion Link!"

"Go Belrut! Beat Link, win back the Heavenly Immortal sister."

The audience started to make a loud noise.
