On January 19, according to the American boxing media, WBA featherweight ordinary world boxing champion Wood has prepared for the KO transition boxing king Conlan, and the big battle between the two sides is scheduled to be held in Nottingham on March 12 this year, which is both Wood's first defending battle and the first world championship tournament in which Conlan participated.
Friends who pay attention to boxing should not be unfamiliar with Wood, he is the player who killed the mainland boxing champion Xu Can on August 1 last year, before the start of the match, Xu Can was optimistic in terms of odds, there were not too many people in foreign countries who were optimistic about Wood, but Wood broke out of the "cold door", in the last round there were 20 seconds left TKO Xu Can, won the first world gold belt of his career. After the game, Xu Can quickly returned to China, when to return to the field is still unknown, and the second battle with Wood is even more distant.
For the defending battle more than a month later, Wood is full of confidence: "I can already think of the picture of Conlan knocking out of the boxing ring, he is really good, but I am much stronger than him, my physique, experience, strength are far better than him, I have paid too much to get to this position today, I don't want to lose the gold belt and start from scratch." 」 ”
Considering that Xu Can's team did not mention the second battle with Wood, coupled with the fact that Wood's next defending battle has been finalized, this declares that Xu Can's next career will be very difficult, on the one hand, the epidemic makes it difficult to hold the game, Xu Can's M23 team, the original group of boxers have basically disbanded and run to things.
The second is that Xu Can's promotion company Golden Boy Promotion in the United States does not seem to be willing to repackage Xu Can, otherwise the Golden Boy Promotion could not have let Xu Can go to the United Kingdom to defend his title, and it was comfortable for him to find a suitable opponent to defend his title in the United States.
Third, the Chinese Boxing Association's ban in June last year made it impossible for the "WBA China" to run the tournament for the time being, and they could only run the tournament after they obtained legal qualifications, and Xu Can's M23 team was affiliated with the "WBA China" or "WBA China Organization". Based on the above analysis, how Xu Can's future professional boxing career will continue is a question, not to mention the rematch with Wood. Of course, I still want to wish Xu Can good luck.
