Earlier, 65-year-old Billy Zhou was on the hot search because of his daily fitness photos, and the feeling that he can keep his muscles bursting over the age is really enviable. However, his insistence on practicing is not all about his physical health, and the comeback that follows.
Many people know Billy Zhou because of his classic roles, but few people know his boxing history, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe him as "Bull X".
On October 20, Chen Wenyi, a well-known kickboxer and martial arts instructor, known as "Thunderfire", suddenly shared several posters on his video account, and it is not difficult to understand from the content of the poster that he will have a free kickboxing match with "Tiger" Billy Zhou, which is scheduled for January next year at the Kowloon Bay International Trade Center.
In order to publicize this game in place, Chen Wenyi also specially invited many star friends to help, including Qian Xiaohao, Lin Guobin, Lu Huiguang, etc., which shows that this game is absolutely full of highlights, and there should be many star artists to help that day.
Participating in such an event at the age of 60 made many fans feel incomprehensible, which led to a lot of suspicions, thinking that the competition between the two was to circle money. In fact, from the analysis of Billy Zhou's personal family, he is not short of money, and it is useless to ask for money, after all, there is only himself and his wife in the family, and the meaning of earning money is not very large.
But for the duo, one task is more important than making money: promoting Muay Thai culture.
Unlike Billy Zhou, Chen Wenyi's "enlightenment" boxing is not Muay Thai, but Cai Lifo, and then because he wants to compete, he learned Western boxing, and then he came into contact with free kickboxing, which is how he learned Muay Thai.
It is understood that Muay Thai is most practical in kickboxing because Muay Thai can knock out opponents in the simplest way under the rules of the ring.
Because of the foundation of many previous boxing styles, it didn't take long for Chen Wenyi to win the Muay Thai championship in Hong Kong. Because he has been committed to the development of Muay Thai for many years, since 2020, he has served as the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Kickboxing Federation.
With so many identities, it is inferred that this bout is a so-called "friendly match", but the purpose is to promote Muay Thai culture.
As for Billy Chow, there is no need to mention it at all, his boxing career is better than his acting career. He won the Canadian featherweight kickboxing title in 1982 and the middleweight kickboxing title three years later, winning the Hong Kong title in 2002 in his 40s and knocking out the Thai champion again a year later.
With such strength and the perfect body he showed before, I believe that this boxing match, he should win the title of champion.
