From the first time he stepped into the ring, Xun Zhen has successfully become one of the new generation of players who have attracted much attention in the Glory Legion with his very distinctive and ornamental style of play.
Looking back on this journey, Xun Zhen said frankly that the driving force was his love for boxing.
"Actually, I chose fighting in the first place to lose weight. Speaking of the past, Xun Zhen was a little shy. At that time, he did not think that this decision would change his life. He began to learn sanda in his spare time in junior high school, and in order to lose weight and exercise, he gradually began to get into free fighting. "I was happy with the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction I felt after winning, and I enjoyed the process, so I discussed with my family and came to the Daitosho Club and embarked on a career path. ”
After embarking on a professional path, a lot of training, participating in competitions, and preparing for fights made up his daily routine.
And the results did not disappoint him. In 2020, Xun Zhen officially participated in the elite fighting event "Rise of the Warriors" and made a name for himself, singing all the way in the "Rise of the Warriors-6" sub-lightweight eight-man battle, and won the eight-man battle championship that night.
After that, Xun Zhen participated in the 2020 "Rise of the Warriors" New Year's Eve Ceremony Copper Belt Eight-Man Battle. It was one of his most memorable fights and a key one for him to really make his mark. In the first round, Xun Zhen's opponent had only one defeat in 15 fights and 8 KOs, but he was not nervous, with a tight grip and a precise and fluid punch and leg combination. In the second round, Xun Zhen grasped the rhythm of the whole game, and almost hit the opponent with a top knee punch, and then the front hook punched twice to count the seconds, and the opponent successfully KO advanced!
In the semi-finals, Xun Zhen continued the fiery competitive state of the first round of the game, and Chang Yuhang, who also successfully qualified, fought hard, the two attacked each other with fists and legs, and then Xun Zhen seized the opportunity to output strongly, and after the first second countdown of the opponent, a backhand punch directly knocked the opponent down two meters away, and won by KO again, and the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited!
When the time came to the final that night, the opponent was Fang Peng, a brother Xun Zhen was very familiar with. The two tried each other to attack in the opening round, Xun Zhen punched hard, and the last straight punch knocked out the opponent and won by KO again. Xun Zhen deservedly won the championship and won the bronze belt of the division's Rising Championship! He also became the first fighter in the Rising Ring to win three major knockouts in an eight-man fight.
Of course, the road was not always victorious, and he also faced the frustration of defeat. After the change of the format of "Rise of the Warriors", Xun Zhen participated in the eight-man battle for the second time - "Rise of the Warriors-28". But this time he met the favorite to win the championship at that time in the semifinals, and the two fought very fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, and in the end, Xun Zhen lost by 1 point. In the 2023 Warriors' Glory 51 New Year's Eve Ceremony Gold Devil Eight Battle, he knocked out Soulyaon in the first round with three jumping knees, but lost to Italy's Frances in the second round and lost the qualification to compete for the belt.
For Xun Zhen, this result really frustrated him. A fighter's aspiration is the desire to compete, the desire to get better results, and that's what everyone in the ring is looking for. But he also understands that in a competitive sport like fighting, no one is the strongest, and defeat is inevitable. What he has to do is to face failure calmly, learn from it, and turn it into further motivation.
Fortunately, it wasn't that hard for him. "The training and competition of a professional boxer is brutal, and it is inevitable that you will lose the fight, but you can never fall behind in training, and only by constantly training and improving can I stand on the ring until the last moment. Xun Zhen's dictionary does not have the word "give up", his goal is to keep training, improve himself, challenge himself, temper himself, and hit the gold belt in the best physical condition.
We are also looking forward to witnessing Xun Zhen achieve more achievements in the Glory Ring, create more miracles, win laurels, and realize his dreams!
The first National Kickboxing League will be held on May 25-26, 2024 at the World Kung Fu Art Center.
