On August 20, there will be a match in the history of the world's heavyweights, when the first two heavyweights Joshua will fight the new champion Usik for the second time, in Saudi Arabia. Since Joshua lost by points in a battle, the rematch was a backwater battle for him and could not afford to lose.
Less than a week before the start of the war, Zhang Junlong, the asian heavyweight boxing king, released an important message through the circle of friends, he wrote: "Dear friends, family, soon to approach the test!" From August 14th to August 23rd, we will enter the retreat to prepare for the battle! Refuse to go out to socialize, after the 23rd, make an appointment, thank you for your attention! ”
Since the "Dragon King" did not specify his specific plan in these 10 days, but his sudden announcement of this news before Joshua vs Usik II War, it inevitably caused speculation from the outside world, perhaps he was going to announce some big plan at this juncture, and perhaps he was inextricably linked to Joshua and Usik.
As we all know, Zhang Junlong won a three-year comeback victory in Canada in May this year, when he won the "big Avarez" Casas in 10 rounds and got a WBC regional gold belt. On the same day that Zhang Junlong sent a circle of friends, WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury suddenly announced his retirement, and was confirmed by WBC Chairman Suleiman, but the gold belt held by Furi was temporarily retained by him, and the deadline reserved by WBC for him was August 26, if Furi confirmed to give up the golden belt on the 26th, the WBC title would become vacant.
In addition, Zhang Junlong has blossomed in Canada in the past two months, was awarded the Queen Elizabeth Medal, became the ambassador of the leading brand of education in North America, and fought with the Canadian head of state and the political and business circles, constantly refreshing people's understanding of boxers, while also creating a new history of Chinese boxing.
Considering the above intricate factors, what Zhang Junlong is currently working on may be multifaceted, and the test he faces is not only one, but as a public figure who has experienced great winds and waves, Zhang Junlong is bound to successfully survive this difficult time, he said: "After a busy day, I am tired and hungry, sit down to eat a hamburger, a bag of chips, a cup of coffee, let yourself rest, be happy!" Can't stop the pace! ”
The current world heavyweight situation is not clear enough, if Fury really gives up the WBC gold belt, who will compete for the vacant gold belt next remains to be seen, and Joshua and Usik's rematch also has a lot of suspense, and it is really difficult to say who will die. In addition, Zhang Junlong, who has won all-round record, is not only a thorn in the eye of all kinds of masters, his comeback is a huge barrier for every high-ranking boxer, and he also focuses on making a broader platform, looking forward to standing at a higher foothold and looking down on the boxing world, injecting new vitality into boxing!
As for what kind of big move the Dragon King will make next, let's wait and see!
