"I will beat my opponent in four rounds," said Zou Shiming to Japan's Sho Kimura in a 2016 boxing match between China and Japan.
However, the result was a shocking result, and the world-class boxing champion lost to a Japanese unpopular fighter!
Zou Shiming is an important boxer in the mainland, who has won the international boxing championship belt and has many "fans" in the mainland.
His loss to Japan made the countrymen hang their heads, but looking at Zou Shiming's previous behavior, his failure had long been foreshadowed.
World-class boxing champions become "white-eyed wolves"
At the end of 2017, Ran Yingying, the wife of boxing king Zou Shiming, exposed a voice on the Internet, which made the whole network explode.
In the audio, she scolded Zou Shiming's signing company, Sheng Shilijia, for ignoring Zou Shiming's physical health, forcing Zou Shiming to participate in the competition to earn money for the company, and owed Zou Shiming tens of millions of wages.
The cry of the weak always arouses public sympathy and influences correct judgment.
Ran Yingying uses her status as a woman and a weak person to make the public stand on their husband and wife and guide the direction of public opinion.
When the public asked Sheng Shili for an explanation for our boxing king, Sheng Shili family was angry!
It turned out that Zou Shiming had already unilaterally terminated the contract with the Sheng Shili family! Even when there was still a contract with Shengshi Lijia, he signed a contract with TOPRANK and participated in the competition under the name of the new company.
Sheng Shilijia thought about the past friendship between the two sides, did not want to have a bad impact on both parties, did not make his behavior public when he knew that Zou Shiming unilaterally breached the contract, and did not prosecute Zou Shiming's liquidated damages, who knew that Zou Shiming and his wife were beaten upside down.
As a result, the Sheng Shili family no longer cared about the friendship between the two sides.
First of all, tell the public that Sheng Shilijia did not force Zou Shiming to participate in the competition, and would have a physical examination before each competition, and if the physical examination was unharmed, Zou Shiming would not be allowed to participate in the competition.
After that, it was to recover the liquidated money, and Sheng Shilijia tore his face and sued Zou Shiming, demanding that Zou Shiming compensate 10 million liquidated damages.
The result was obvious, and the court ruled that Zou Shiming had breached the contract in advance and should compensate Sheng Shilijia for liquidated damages of 10 million.
Zou Shiming did not accept the verdict and appealed again, but this time, Sheng Shilijia would not relent.
Shengshilijia added the liquidated damages to 16 million yuan again in the second instance, a total of 26 million.
Of course, the result is still the same, and it is once again judged that Zou Shiming has breached the contract, and he needs to lose more money.
I don't know if Zou Shiming regretted when he learned the result of the second trial, and he should not have filed the second trial, 26 million is not a small amount of money.
At this point, the dispute between Zou Shiming and Sheng Shilijia ended with Zou Shiming losing the case.
At the same time, this dramatic news has once again pushed the world-class boxing champion in front of the public.
He won glory for the country and won two consecutive Olympic championships
The reason why Zou Shiming embarked on the road of boxing is a bit funny to say, he learned martial arts so that he would not be beaten.
As his short board, height makes him always injured when playing with classmates, and even bullied by female classmates.
For the sake of his own face, he began to learn martial arts.
By chance, he was hit by the coach to box, so 16-year-old Zou Shiming began his fate with boxing.
The teenager has the childish spirit of hard work and the love of boxing, and he rushes forward all the way.
In 2000, Zou Shiming was 19 years old, and the teenager was still adhering to a clean body, and it was also the year that he started his formal career.
While working as a professional boxer, Zou Shiming competed every year and won gold medals again and again.
He won his first Asian Games gold medal at the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, becoming the first Chinese boxer to defend his title of World Championship boxing title.
In 2008, he became the first boxer in the history of mainland boxing to win a gold medal, and won the gold medal again at the 2012 London Olympics.
It can be said that Zou Shiming is a landmark existence in the history of mainland boxing, and his victory has won China honors again and again, making the world recognize him and recognize this fighter from China.
Even if the Chinese athlete is not as burly as other countries, he is still reassuring.
Zou Shiming turned 32 in 2013 and was facing the choice of retiring or transitioning.
Most people will choose to retire to the background to train the next boxers on the mainland, most people will choose this glorious job, but he has made other choices.
He chose to be a professional boxer, he wanted to stay in the ring, but how could it all be so easy?
Not willing to be behind the scenes, but suffered a heavy blow
It is not easy to stay in the ring, Zou Shiming has not been exposed to the professional ring, and the rules of the professional ring are more brutal than the Olympic ring.
He needs appropriate training, guidance on physical health, and a lot of financial support.
Thanks to Zou Shiming's strength and fame in the Chinese boxing industry, at this time, Sheng Shilijia threw an olive branch to him.
In fact, the cooperation between Zou Shiming and Shengshilijia can be regarded as complementary and mutually beneficial, which is a win-win situation.
So the two sides signed a six-year contract.
In the first three years, Shengshi Lijia provided Zou Shiming with professional training, excellent promotion team, and private customized marketing plan, so that Zou Shiming gained more fame.
In the last three years, Zou Shiming earned money for Shengshi Lijia to fight boxing matches.
The six-year contract is reasonable and mutually beneficial.
2016 was the first year that Zou Shiming began to earn money for the company, and this year, which was his most famous year, won the boxing king belt many times, and became a household name in the boxing industry around the world.
Maybe too much honor, too much applause made him blind, he began to lose himself, and it was from this year that he began to go downhill.
In 2017, Zou Shiming signed a contract with his self-created company while still having a contract with Shengshi Lijia, and he chose to go it alone and sign up for the competition despite the grace of Shengshi Lijia's training.
He advertised his game so much that it was full of announcements about his matches.
Then, in this WBO flyweight world belt defense battle, in front of a million spectators, he lost to Japan's Sho Kimura!
Afterwards, he looked for reasons for his defeat in the fight and filed complaints, such as water stains in the ring that caused him to slip, and the black box operation in the match to open up for his failure.
His pioneering behavior for himself caused dissatisfaction from the event party, so the event party collected evidence from many parties, and after on-site video and follow-up investigation and evidence collection, none of Zou Shiming's reasons stood up.
So the competition party finally rejected Zou Shiming's appeal.
What the result really is, millions of viewers are watching, it goes without saying, making people bluntly say that Zou Shiming can't afford to lose.
Even Arum, the founder of TOP RANK, once commented that Zou Shiming only cares about marketing himself, and signs contracts with other companies regardless of the friendship with his old owner, Shengshilijia, which is contrary to principles.
After this match, Zou Shiming's reputation plummeted, and fans were disappointed with Zou Shiming.
Failure is not terrible, it is terrible not to dare to face setbacks. The person who makes all kinds of excuses for his failure is despicable, especially since he has a large number of fans and is a public figure.
In the second half of the same year, Zou Shiming accidentally hit and injured his eye while waiting for the plane at the airport, resulting in an eye injury.
Later, Xinhua News Agency reported that Zou Shiming's injury fell under the national standards for the disabled. As a result, a generation of boxing kings officially retired, and the boxing history belonging to Zou Shiming was completely brought to an end.
Interpret the law by case

Article 584:[Scope of Damages] Where one of the parties fails to perform its contractual obligations or performs its contractual obligations inconsistently with the agreement, causing losses to the other party, the amount of damages shall be equivalent to the losses caused by the breach of contract, including the benefits that can be obtained after the performance of the contract;
However, it shall not exceed the losses that the breaching party foresaw or should have foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
Article 583:[Liability for Damages for Breach of Contract] Where one of the parties fails to perform its contractual obligations or its performance of contractual obligations is not in accordance with the agreement, if the other party has other losses after performing its obligations or taking remedial measures, it shall compensate for the losses.
epilogue
Zou Shiming's transition is also a common problem faced by professional athletes after retiring.
Especially with the development of the professional sports field, the position athletes are getting younger and younger, and they have not undergone the education and socialization they should have at the same age, so that they are slightly separated from society, and guiding them to integrate with society is the most important thing.
Zou Shiming has now faded from the public's view, often sharing his daily family activities on Weibo and other personal accounts, posting his wife and children, like a good husband and father.
It is no longer the appearance that hurts others and does not benefit himself, as if he has found the essence of life, reconciled with his previous failures, and embraced his back to himself.
May each of us remain true and sober forward as we receive the honor.
