2.18 meters of bulky head
A square face as long as a sickle
Narrow and fierce little eyes
The former boxing king Cui Hongwan was born with an aggressive face, and when he did not smile, he was fierce and vicious, and he was full of deterrence.
"He was born to eat the bowl of boxing!" His coach had said so.
The Korean giant, who has competed in top boxing tournaments such as Japan's k-1gp and pride, defeated the world king "giant god soldier" Hilter, and pressed the head of the "6 billion strongest man" Fido on the ground as a gourd hammer, and almost beat himself into the history of world boxing with his own strength.
But after suffering from brain cancer and severe joint disease, he also owed a bunch of foreign debts, and he personally reversed his career. On variety shows, play fake punches, stand in the ring like a personal meat sandbag and let other people's fists hit the body like raindrops, and then take the money and leave without pain...
From the giant of the iron fist to the half-hanging "actor", the giant Lao Choi who was kicked and scolded by the Koreans in the collective circle, how tragic is life now?
01. The Iron Fist Giant also loves pink kitty
If you go to Lao Cui's house, you will be surprised to find that there is a hello kitty in any corner of his house, a row of kitty dolls next to his bed, his pajamas are also kitty, and even the special length quilt is printed with a kitty pattern.
The "first warrior in Korea", a rugged man who is two meters long, is obsessed with pink dolls, even to the point of collecting addiction.
In addition to training and punching bubble girls, the rest of his time is spent scouring kitty toys around the world.
A rough bearded man holding a pink toy, the picture is full of strange warmth.
"Body and mind can't be treated the same, just like you can't say that an ugly person is a bad person. Collecting kitty and peripherals is my only interest besides boxing, because it allows me to regain the innocence of my childhood. ”
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the childhood life of giants.
In 1980, Xiao Cui was born in Seoul, South Korea, and was born with long hands and long feet, and his body was different from ordinary people.
Not only is his hands and feet long, his face is also much longer than normal, from the side it looks like an undeveloped bogua, such a strange appearance has been ruthlessly ridiculed by other children, almost no one is willing to be friends with him, from elementary school to high school, he is basically alone.
It was also at this time that he fell in love with the kitty doll, and only had it with him when he was lonely, and he did not hate him for looking bumpy.
Gradually, the boy became a teenager, and grew several times taller, and his face became longer and longer, and the final height was fixed at 2.18 meters, and it was estimated that the bare face accounted for nearly one meter!
On campus, everyone can always see a big man as thin as a flagpole dangling around, a face fierce and evil and not angry.
At this time, a friend said to Xiao Cui: "You are so tall, it is a pity not to play sumo wrestling!" ”
A heartless word hit the weakness of the teenager, think carefully about the experience of being ridiculed by everyone over the years, it is nothing more than because of his own somewhat unusual appearance, but if the weakness is exploited, will it become a weapon to break through the self?
I have to say that although Xiao Cui does not look very smart, he does have a clear mind, knows his own advantages and knows how to use them.
In 2003, the 23-year-old Choi Hong-wan took a break from school to join the Korean sumo professional team, although he was unique in height, but the whole person looked weak and could not help the wind, sumo wrestlers pay attention to the word "fat", the fatter the chassis, the more stable, the more stable the more can not move.
So Xiao Cui's life has become a two-point line - crazy training + crazy fat eating.
In less than half a year, his physical quality has made a qualitative leap.
In the year he joined the sumo team, he won the Undifferentiated Championship of the World Heroes' Conference, and since then he has become famous and is known as the "Great Horizontal Gang of Korean Sumo Wrestling".
But before the champion's ass was hot, the sumo wrestling team disbanded the following year, and Xiao Cui fell into a deep confusion about the future for a while.
In addition to his tall hands and feet and long face, he has no other specialty, and he is "Korean giant baby" in the society! But if you think about it, sumo wrestlers have to eat wildly all year round in order to maintain a large weight, so their life expectancy is generally not long, so the occupation of consuming health really needs to think twice.
After some deliberation, he decisively gave up sumo wrestling and announced that he had switched to k-1 in boxing.
At this time, a bunch of friends came to him to persuade him not to make trouble, was it a joke to punch? If you don't do it, you will be killed!
But at this time, Xiao Cui has already forged an iron heart, and strives to start learning martial arts skills and quickly signed a contract with the feg company, becoming a professional boxer.
In 2004, Choi Hong-wan was completely removed from the Korean sumo wrestling community.
At this time, he did not know that after the wind of opportunity was blowing lightly, he accidentally turned to the most brilliant pages in his life notes in advance...
02. From "Korean Behemoth" to "Get Out of Korea"
At the K-1 Korea Convention on March 19, 2005, Choi won the K-1 throne by breaking four veterans in his first appearance, and easily kowtowed to Howard at the Hiroshima Conference in June of the same year.
The giant young man turned out to be a big player, which inevitably attracted the attention of a large number of media, his unique appearance and big man became the competition advantage that everyone sought after at this time, and there were many girls who rushed to him in the autumn waves, frequently booing and asking for warmth, which was something he did not dare to think about before.
In just two years, with his own efforts, Cui Hongwan successfully transformed from a low-level boy who was ridiculed to a new star of boxing, opening up a fist and blood road for himself.
In the winter of 2005, Choi suffered the first Waterloo of his career, and was tragically killed by Dutch flyer Remy. Bungaskiko, although stopped at the hands of the Flyers, still hit a high rating of 20% on the Korean average that year.
In fact, what officially made Xiao Cui enter the golden career was the bloody event with the "six billion strongest" Fido that year, the slightly fat and quiet Fido, even Putin was his boxing fan, but in that game, he was tragically hammered by Xiao Cui's stuffy gourd, tied his body and locked his throat, and even had no chance to resist the hand, and the audience saw the audience rushing with blood and booing.
Cui Hongwan weighed 160 kilograms at that time, and he was still very enthusiastic about training, without a trace of excess flesh on his body, and his explosive power was strong. He is good at making an involuntary combination of punches at his impressive height, and he has a strong ability to resist blows, and the speed of punches is not slow, and he can see that he is very powerful when standing and smashing punches on the ground.
No wonder some people say that in his golden career, no one can compare with him.
But at this time, Xiao Cui's mentality seems to have undergone subtle changes, in addition to boxing, he gradually discovered a more interesting "game" - on variety shows.
The boxing king monster who became popular by punching, was invited to several variety shows at the same time, and was originally a star in the ring, but he looked like a sense of being a Taoist artist at any time.
In addition to the crazy variety show, he also made a girlfriend Li Ruizhi, who is also a fighter, this pocket girlfriend is only 1.55 meters tall, with a big man of 2.18 meters, like a century combination of beauty and beast.
I don't know whether the life after fame makes him a little fluttery, or the gentle township of the beautiful girlfriend is too intoxicating, and some media have successively exposed that he owes high additional debts, saying that although he has earned a lot in recent years, he has spent money like flowing water, resulting in often not being able to make ends meet and needing to borrow money to live a life.
The veracity of these rumors cannot be studied, but it is certain that in South Korea, he is becoming more and more confused, and he has slowly transferred the market to China, and has participated in many competitions in China.
But the audience was surprised to find that the fighting ability of the former boxing king had undergone a qualitative decline, the former Xiao Yong no longer existed, and now he was more like a walking human flesh sandbag, waving a soft fist, the technique was clumsy and unsightly, and he was snarled in the corner at every turn.
The most famous is the protracted match he had with the samurai monk Yilong at the Venice Hotel in Macau in 2018.
Although Yilong has won hundreds of games for Wulinfeng, he has also mixed up in the entertainment industry, which can be described as a controversial "martial arts star", and the outside world has always called him "Golden Bell Cover, Iron Cloth Shirt".
But no matter how fierce, standing next to Xiao Cui who is more than two meters away is like a weak little boy, and a dragon who is only more than 170 in height does not have any obvious advantage in appearance. Therefore, before the start of the game, public opinion predicted one-sidedly that Yilong would die a miserable death this time!
But after the game began, both men's performances were eye-popping.
Cui Hongwan, who was tall and tall, seemed to be hungry to go to the game, standing on the stage with his fists embroidered legs weak, constantly waving empty fists, and receiving moves without pain or itch, without any force value.
Do you know who Xiao Cui is? At that time, his style was unmatched, and he had defeated our famous Ao Zhigele in the previous period, how could such a player who was once full of strength suddenly look like an amateur player?
A dragon on the side obviously caught his absence and began to attack downwards, of course, mainly because it was not reached above!
Saying that it was late and fast, a dragon and a swing kicked the lower end of Xiao Cui's lower abdomen, and before the audience could react, Xiao Cui had slowly collapsed with his lower body covered, and his expression was extremely exaggerated, and even a little fake.
Yilong obviously hadn't acted enough, waving his legs to kick, but he was stopped by the referee in time, he didn't know, he had just given Xiao Cui a successful surgical operation!
But more exaggerated is still behind, the fallen Cui Hongwan let the audience and the team how to encourage is not to continue the game, after ten minutes, the referee can only judge Yilong to win, a "farce" is over.
After the game, netizens had a variety of opinions, and some media said that it was a pity that the two did not go to Hollywood to develop! Such an obvious fake punch can be seen directly by people with clear eyes! Isn't it all because of a lack of money? South Korea's economy is also in a slump, Xiao Cui is in a hurry to participate in the game and leave in a hurry, as for winning or not, he has long forgotten his original intention...
At this point, Cui Hongwan is obviously more suitable for the development of the show business circle, or go to Hengdian to read the script, after all, such a good acting talent, it is a pity to put it on boxing...
Editor's Epilogue
There are very few people in this world who will play a bad hand into a king bomb, but there are many people who will break a good hand, coincidentally, Cui Hongwan occupies both of them.
From an inferior teenager to a giant warrior, to a debt sick man shouting and beating, the first half of his life has achieved remarkable results, and after a small achievement, he floated away, breaking the original rhythm from his heart, so that he still had to play fake punches to earn living expenses nearly the end of the year, so that he also lived to become the way he hated the most?
