There has never been a shortage of talented teenagers in the world boxing world, but for China, which started late in professional martial arts, "fighting genius" was a rarity, until the emergence of Zhang Peimian broke the deadlock. Today, the former "Strongest Middle School Student in China" has also reached adulthood and stepped into the cage of the ONE Championship, ready to show the world the style of Chinese post-00 boxers.
The internationally renowned sports IP-ONE Championship will host the "ONE: Immortal Light" large-scale fighting event on March 11, where Zhang Peimian will make his international debut.
Zhang Peimian came from a small mountain village in Guangxi called Guashan Village, and initially he began practicing martial arts with his Chinese teacher, and then the teacher discovered the child's extremely high understanding and sincere love for martial arts, so he sent him to Shenzhen Shengliren and Fighting Club. Since then, he has become the younger disciple of Zhang Chenglong, Zhang Chunyu and other famous Chinese players, and has officially embarked on the road of professional fighting.
After more systematic and rigorous training, 14-year-old Zhang Peimian has become famous in China, when he was still in the second grade of junior high school, he had already achieved 10 wins, 9 wins and 9 KO results, and due to his small age and low weight, many competitions were played against adult players across levels.
Subsequently, Zhang Peimian had outstanding performances in local competitions such as WulinFeng and Kunlun Decisive, and was also concerned and favored by major domestic events. In the face of adult professional players with far more experience than him, Zhang Peimian has not fallen behind in terms of technology, strike quality and mentality, and now he has just reached adulthood with a professional record of 26 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw, and has become the leader of the new generation of Chinese post-00s fighters.
But it's not easy for Zhang to win his debut in the ONE Championship, and his opponent Josh Tonna, a famous veteran who has won the ISKA Kickboxing World Championship at the age of 33, is currently ranked fifth in grassweight kickboxing and second in strawweight Muay Thai. And because of the grassweight Muay Thai ranking number one Sam Sam-A Gaiyanghadao announced his retirement, and after the next ranking update, Tona is likely to jump to the top of the ranking and return to the championship challenger.
The first game to launch an impact on the rankings is a recognition of Zhang Peimian's strength in the ONE Championship, and it is also a huge opportunity for the young player who has just turned 18. For a long time, the once high-profile Chinese martial arts genius has now stepped into the wider sky, hoping that Zhang Peimian can become famous in the ONE Championship and take the first step towards the championship perfectly.
