Earlier this month, Japan's K-1 event held an indiscriminate eight-player knockout, and seven Japanese heavyweights joined an Iranian heavyweight in the massive eight-man tournament. However, the final result of the match was that the undefeated king from Iran, Muhammad Satari, passed three consecutive levels, defeated K-JEE, Kyotaro, Tanigawa Seiya and other Japanese players, and won the final K-1 undifferentiated eight-a-side world championship. In this competition, none of the seven Japanese players participated in the competition could win the championship, and such a huge contrast also made boxing fans wonder if the east Asian yellow boxers were really inferior to other races in the heavyweight field.
In the heavyweight realm of the fighting world, it seems that no East Asian has ever been able to reach the top of the world, and this seems to be even more so in the new era. The gap in physical fitness and physique of east Asian races, with the increase of rank, and the gap with European and American races has also widened.
However, it is undeniable that while East Asians have a hard time reaching the top in the heavyweight class, it is not useless. East Asia has also produced famous top heavyweights, such as Japan's Musashi, the peak of Kyotaro, and the Korean giant Choi Hongwan and so on. In the ring of the Kunlun Battle of the Giant Beast, there was also a benchmark Chinese heavyweight leader, who was the pride of the Chinese martial art Sanda - Ye Xiang.
Ye Xiang, a Chinese sanda heavyweight known as the "Proud Son of Anhui City", was born in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, with a height of 189cm and a weight of 130 kilograms, who studied martial arts at the Shaolin Tagou Martial Arts School in Henan. He has represented the Chinese Sanda national team in many international competitions such as the Sanda World Championships and the World Cup, winning numerous gold medals and being the absolute hegemon of the Chinese sanda industry in the heavyweight level. With the exception of his absence due to injury in 2015, Ye Xiang dominated almost all competitions at the 2014, 2016-2018 National Wushu Sanda Championships and Championships. In his martial arts sanda career, Ye Xiang won 8 national sanda championships, 3 national wushu sports championships, 1 national games sanda championship, 3 world sanda championships, and can be called the heavyweight Grand Slam hegemon of Chinese sanda.
In 2017, Kunlun Decisive reached a strategic cooperation with the Chinese Wushu Association, and Ye Xiang, as a national player in Sanda in the heavyweight class, represented Chinese players in the "Battle of the Giant Beast" Heavyweight World Championship Championship held by Kunlun Decisive.
In the battle of the Kunlun Dueling Beast, which gathered the world's top heavyweights, Ye Xiang fought all the way to the world's top four seats, and fought with the top master from Iran, Iraki Azbaul, for three sets, although the result of the game was regrettably lost, but Ye Xiang also caused very big trouble to Iraki Azbaul. In this game, the players on both sides can be described as shaking, and the strength of each punch is terrifying.
That night, Iranian blood demon Iraki Azbaul was crowned kunlun heavyweight world champion, but in a post-match interview, Ilaki said that Ye Xiang was his most impressive opponent in the match of the night. Ye Xiang used his iron fist to prove that East Asians can also achieve something in the heavyweight ring.
Nowadays, Ye Xiang, who faded out of the professional ring and returned to the championship field in the system, has been alone in the field of martial arts sanda, and it is difficult to find opponents, Ye Xiang began to turn to the field of boxing to develop and seek more challenges. When seeing the collective defeat of seven Japanese in the Japanese K-1 competition, this East Asian fiasco can not help but make boxing fans sigh, if Ye Xiang returns to the professional arena, in the Japan K-1 indiscriminate eight-player competition, can he represent Chinese and even the East Asian to win the first professional kickboxing in the heavyweight world championship?
