Wang Lei received a prize of 500 US dollars, and a champion trophy that seemed to be made of stainless steel. The outer layer was coated with extremely thin gold, which looked like a gold cup. However, it was estimated that it was less than 200 US dollars.

Wang Lei originally planned to hand over the five hundred dollars to Sadler, thanking him for his hard work in the past few months. Anyway, Wang Lei himself is not short of money. His parents opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and his grandfather opened a Chinese medicine shop. Although his family is not a wealthy family, it can be called a well-off family and has no worries about food and clothing, so Wang Lei still looks down on this five hundred dollars.

But Sadler insisted on not wanting it. He would rather ask for Wang Lei’s championship trophy than the 500 dollars. He said that if Wang Lei really wanted to thank him, he would win a few more championships, put the trophy in the boxing gym, advertise for him, and attract several students who love boxing to join. In addition, after he became a professional boxer and became a boxing champion, he would pay him coaching remuneration according to regulations. Don’t just abandon George Forman as soon as he became famous.

Wang Lei was speechless and had to swear that he would never do it.

Who said that foreigners only pay attention to immediate interests? Does the old man Sadler seem to be far-sighted? But his tone of George Forman was too "resentful", just like the annoying wife in Qiong Yao's novel. Every time, Wang Lei couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

It seems that George Forman was hurt by Sadler very deeply!

After winning the first amateur boxing championship, Sadler rarely gave Wang Lei a day off. Wang Lei invited his buddy Bill and his classmates who came to the Bay Stadium to support him today to have a meal at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.

He didn't dare to go to his parents' restaurant, and he didn't dare to tell his parents about boxing!

But after eating and drinking with his classmates, Wang Lei saw his parents waiting for him in the living room, and his mother was holding a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle. The sports page on it was a news report interviewing him and Sadler today, and a photo of him holding the Champions League high.

It's over, I can't hide it now!

Wang Lei was anxious and quickly spoke first: "Dad, mom, you guys listen to my explanation first..."

Before he finished speaking, his father was interrupted by his hand: "No need to explain, we have asked your grandpa, and we know everything we should know. We will only ask you one thing, have you really chosen the path of boxing?"

Wang Lei nodded first and said, "But I can't fight for the rest of my life. At most, I will retire until I'm thirty years old. At that time, I will have to go to Hollywood to be a director and make movies!"

The father frowned and asked again, "If you want to be thirty years old, what should you do with your studies? Are you not planning to go to college?"

"Of course not!" Wang Lei denied: "I must study at the University of Southern California, but going to college and boxing do not conflict. After becoming a professional boxer, I basically only play one or two months after I become a boxing champion or become famous. In order to promote and promote, I only play two or three games a year, and an average of three or four months, and sometimes even one game half a year, which does not affect my college entrance examination at all!"

Although my parents live in Chinatown, San Francisco, they obviously don’t know much about professional boxing. They don’t know what Wang Lei said to play two or three games a day. Sometimes only one game is half a year from the late 1990s to the new century, and only a very famous boxing champion will be treated.

Just like the Hollywood promotional blockbuster in the previous life, it has been filmed, but it will be delayed until half a year or even a year later. The purpose is not only to win a good schedule, but also to promote it more time so that more people can know about this boxing match and hype tickets.

A newcomer who has just become a professional boxer and a professional boxer who has never been famous basically has to play one game in a month and more than ten games a year. For example, Mike Tyson, who has just entered the professional boxing world this year, recorded in his previous life that he played fifteen games in the first year of his career and twelve games in the second year. After Tyson became the boxing champion, he only played three or four games a year. The more famous he became, the fewer games he played in a year, and the higher the appearance fee.

In the new century, big boxing champions such as Holyfield and Lewis basically only play two games a year, and sometimes even only play one game a year.

He only plays two or three games a year, and it is impossible to train every day for the rest of the time. Therefore, Wang Lei has the confidence to not affect his studies and plans to do professional boxing while taking into account his college studies.

My dad stopped talking, but my mom still said worriedly: "Son, it's very dangerous to punch. Mom remembers that she didn't report on TV news last year. She said that a boxer named Jin was beaten to death in the boxing ring, and even his mom committed suicide because of this. If something happened in the boxing ring, how would you let your mom live?"

"Uh, mom, no, the boxing organization has modified the game time and rules because of this accident, and there will be no more fatal accidents. Moreover, in professional sports competitions, boxing casualties have always been the least. Your son has always been blessed and will not have any accidents!"

Wang Lei knew that what his mother was talking about was the Jindejiu incident in 1982.

Kim Dejiu is a Korean lightweight boxer who once won the lightweight championship of the Oriental Pacific Boxing Association. In November 1982, when he was fighting with an American boxer named Ray Mansini for the throne of the WBA lightweight boxing champion, he fought with the opponent for fourteen rounds, was knocked down and unconscious, and was sent to the hospital and died after being rescued.

Later, Kim Dejiu's mother committed suicide by taking poison two months later because of excessive grief. The law enforcement referee at that time also committed suicide after the game because of self-blame guilt.

This incident shocked the world, and public opinion was in a turmoil. Under pressure, after several days of discussion and research, the WBA revised some boxing rules, changed the 15th round of the Boxer Championship to twelve rounds, and improved the boxing gloves and sheaths to slow down the impact of boxing, etc.

Although professional boxing rules are modified, people will still not avoid deaths. But it is undeniable that boxing mortality rates are much lower than popular events such as skiing, racing, rugby and football.

Wang Lei is not a person who is not afraid of death, but as a reborn person, he feels that almost every profession has the possibility of death. Even if he chooses to play basketball and film movies, he may die unexpectedly. He was an otaku who had been away for ten years in his previous life, but he died suddenly. If he wants to live a wonderful life and shine, he cannot be afraid of it.

That's why Wang Lei chose boxing without wavering.

People must be fearless for a lifetime!

Being timid cannot make a breakthrough!

After spending all his efforts and making countless guarantees, Wang Lei finally convinced his mother.

As for my father, when Wang Lei made the second oath to his mother, he could no longer bear it and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

...

After morning exercise the next day, Wang Lei returned to school to continue his studies.

He was still distracted during class, and while listening to the class, he taught himself the film textbooks that Bill had lent him.

Bill was probably stimulated by Wang Lei's victory yesterday and was worried that his bet with Wang Lei would lose. He ran to the basketball club to practice basketball as soon as school was over, making Wang Lei feel ashamed.

After school in the afternoon, I went to Sadler's boxing gym and accidentally discovered that there were more than a dozen more boxing students in the boxing gym, two of whom were classmates from the school. Yesterday, I came to the Bay Stadium with Bill to support him.

After asking, I found out that because he was interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday, not only did he become famous, but the fact that Sadler was once George Forman's first coach was also dug out.

The next day, Sadler's boxing gym became famous. On that day, more than a dozen boxing-loving teenagers came to learn boxing from Sadler, and Sadler came without hesitation.

As a result, there were more than a dozen students in the boxing gym, and Sadler also earned more.

No wonder Sadler looked down on Wang Lei’s 500-dollar bonus.

It can be imagined that when Wang Lei wins the championship of the "American Bill Gloves Competition" and becomes a professional boxer next year and becomes the boxing champion in the future, students who come to Sadler's boxing gym to learn boxing will continue, and Sadler will not worry about not being able to make money.

Be far-sighted!

After admiring Sadler again in his heart, Wang Lei devoted himself to boxing practice.

With more than a dozen "junior brothers" with different heights and styles, Wang Lei will not worry about not having to train in the future.

...

As the days pass by day, October is coming in a blink of an eye.

The "American Bill Gloves Competition" considered one of the most important year for amateur boxing is about to begin.

With his qualifications as the lightweight champion of the "San Francisco Youth Boxing Competition", Wang Lei signed up for the "American Ballon Glove Competition" without any difficulty and easily qualified for the competition.

Unfortunately, the "American Bill Glove Competition" is held not in San Francisco or California, but in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts in the northeastern United States.

The site of the competition is at the Boston Garden Arena.

The Boston Garden Arena is an indoor stadium that was opened in 1928 and can accommodate almost 15,000 spectators. Although it is called the stadium and was once the home stadium of the Boston Hockey Bruins and the NBA basketball Celtics, the designer of the stadium was the initiator of the boxing game Turks Richard. The purpose of Turks Richard in the past was also to design the Garden Boxing Gallery.

So although the Garden Arena in Boston often hosts hockey and basketball games, it is also very suitable for boxing competitions.

Wang Lei has never traveled far in his life. Not to mention California, he has never even left San Francisco. Therefore, when he learned that his son was going to Boston to do boxing, his mother first disagreed.

Fortunately, grandpa spoke and he would accompany his grandson to Boston in person.

Although my grandfather is older, he is sick all his life and is healthier than young people. In addition, he is the most famous Chinese medicine doctor in Chinatown. With him personally accompanying him, my mother has to agree.

What's more, there are many people accompanying Wang Lei to Boston to participate in the competition this time.

In addition to grandpa and coach Sadler, there are also grandpa's disciples, Wang Lei's professional nursing doctor Ouyang Ming, Wang Lei's sparring Cruise and a Russian boxer named Chekov.
