Throughout 2021, Tang Kai's time fighting in the round cage added up to only 6 minutes and 02 seconds. KO Former Shooto Ring Pacific Featherweight Champion Takahashi Yugo, he spent 1 minute 59 seconds. In the face of the Korean boxer "Big Heart" Yin Changmin, who spoke wildly to teach him, Tang Kai also did not let his opponent play a full round in the cage, and 4 minutes and 03 seconds made him fall to the ground.
The "KO Male God" felt that he was not playing enough and longed for more fights, but he encountered the dilemma of his opponent's withdrawal more than once. First, Kirill Golobert was injured and retired from the tournament, which wasted Tang Kai's preparation efforts, and then the first-ranked Kim Referee Xiong fell ill on the spot, completely disrupting Tang Kai's timetable for the right to challenge for the world championship. Tang Kai can't wait to show his strength in the round cage: "I look forward to Jin Zhixiong's early recovery, and then make an appointment with me as soon as possible!" ”
Because of the cries of boxing fans and the eagerness of fighters to return, this much-anticipated match did not make everyone wait too long. On March 11, in "ONE: Immortal Light", the great war between "KO male god" Tang Kai and South Korea's "god of war" Kim Chi-woong was officially staged. The match was postponed for 42 days, and what remained unchanged was the strong smell of gunpowder between the two boxers, and what changed was the rhythm of the preparations of both sides. Careful boxing fans found that Tang Kai did not return to the Xinjiang International Fighting Club to train after the "ONE: Invincible" match, but flew to Phuket, Thailand, to prepare for the battle at the famous Tiger Boxing Gym.
As a world-famous boxing gym, it is home to some of the world's best mixed martial arts boxers, including champions and stars. Tang Kai's choice of Thailand to prepare for the war was his own consideration: "I am ready to return to the round cage battle at any time, if I return to China, I will face isolation, and I will not be able to train again and again." So I chose to train in Thailand, and I didn't have to quarantine here, and I was relatively close. The atmosphere in tiger boxing gyms is good, and there are many good boxers to train together. I am currently the only Chinese in the gym. ”
Jin has criticized Tang Kai's opponents for lacking gold content, believing that his technique is too single. In the Tiger Boxing Gym, on the one hand, Tang Kai strengthens his strike skills under the guidance of Thai coaches, on the other hand, he also has the opportunity to contact excellent boxers from different countries and make his experience more abundant through exchanges and exchanges. During the training, Tang Kai met Chimayev, who is familiar to Chinese boxing fans, and observed Chimayev's training. "In the boxing gym, Chimayev is very low-key, and the people are pretty good. I would like to have the opportunity to learn from him, but he brought his own coaching team and usually trains with the big level. ”
Thai training has advantages and disadvantages, Tang Kai's past KO winning streak has benefited from the tacit cooperation of the Xinjiang International Fight Club team, this time he is training alone in Phuket, and the efficiency of preparation will definitely be affected. For Kim, he returned to the game just over a month after falling ill, and his physical condition and the quality of his preparations were unknown.
Despite the difficulties, Don Kai's belief in winning has never wavered: "I said that I would make Kim Chiong the third Korean I beat, and although the game was more than a month late, it had no impact on me because I had already figured out how to beat him." I hope Kim don't get affected by illness and play a great game with me in his best form, and he and I have to fall down! ”
