Chapter 92: The Siege of Link

"Link, you did it."

The van arrived at Madison Square Garden for the match. Compared to the first fight, which had hundreds of spectators, today there were more than three thousand.

On the ground around the ring, over a hundred reporters gathered. There were not just American reporters but also those from Canada, Europe, and Asia. Even cable TV stations like HBO and FOX had sent journalists and cameramen to cover Link’s match.

Clearly, Link's previous bold statement...

Chapter 91: To Wear the Crown

Link's speech at Madison Square Garden, released by the media, hit the boxing world like a bomb. After the Olympics, Link's fame had already transcended regional boundaries and spread throughout the global boxing community, with many people knowing about him.

Upon hearing that he was entering the professional boxing world, everyone was highly attentive to his matches, eager to see how this Olympic champion would perform.

Originally, people woke up, opened their newspapers, and exp...

Chapter 90: The Verbal Joust Begins

“Hahaha!”

Some of the reporters laughed, while others glared at the laughing journalist. Link had just said he would only answer five questions, and this was not the time for such irrelevant questions.

Link, however, was surprised and glanced at the journalist. This guy must have studied Chinese medicine, his observation skills were too sharp.

“Yes, the weather in New York is terrible. I've been here for ten days, and it has rained for six of them. I miss the su...

Chapter 89: Professional Debut

The next day, the sky in New York still hadn't cleared up. The sun was wrapped in clouds, only occasionally peeking out to reveal a faint light.

When the sunlight spilled down, the skyscrapers in the center of Manhattan were the first to brighten up, while the surrounding streets remained dim. The contrast between light and dark resembled a mirage, except that this mirage was inhabited by the wealthy, not immortals.

"Link, your boxing license application has been approved."...

Chapter 88: Leonardo

"My audition was successful, thank you."

"When are you coming to Los Angeles? I miss you."

In the car, Link received a text message from Gal Gadot. Not long ago in Los Angeles, he helped Gadot choose a script and selected a supporting role in the action movie "The A-Team." He hadn't seen the movie, but it was said that the male lead had already been decided, Liam Neeson, the protagonist of "Schindler's List."

This guy's acting is good, so the movie he starred in shoul...

Chapter 87: Extraordinary Potential

"Link, faster! Show me how fast your punches can be!"

"Pay attention to your footwork. Your feet and fists must move in unison to maintain a stable center of gravity. A stable center of gravity means a balanced body, which prevents you from being knocked down by your opponent."

"Amazing! Your footwork and punches are perfectly coordinated. You truly are an exceptional boxer."

"But there's one issue. You have too few finishing moves. Your backhand punch is famous, but ...

Chapter 86: Newcomer to the Boxing Ring

A light rain fell outside, but the air conditioner kept the apartment warm and cozy.

Link and Taylor sat on the sofa as he shared his life story – from a two-time jailbird to a world-renowned boxing champion. It was an inspiring and moving tale, but only he knew the truth behind it.

Without time travel, Link would have died in a street fight, and he himself would have perished in an underground boxing ring.

Three months ago, a miracle occurred. The soul of a fighter...

Chapter 85: First Time in New York

Rumble!

It was a gloomy morning in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. The numerous skyscrapers were shrouded in dark clouds, resembling Gotham City in the Batman movies.

Cars on the road whizzed by, bringing gusts of cool wind and a few yellow leaves.

Link, wearing a red Nike sweatshirt and green sweatpants, was jogging along Fifth Avenue outside Central Park. As he ran from the Museum Mile to the Waldorf Astoria, it suddenly started to rain. This was the thi...

Chapter 84: Buying Stocks

"Link, you've worked hard!"

Simon Curtis, dressed in a suit, stood by the car door downstairs at HBO, opened the door, and smiled.

"You too."

Link got into the car, pulled off his tie, and exhaled.

In recent days, he and Simon had been running around, constantly participating in TV shows, accepting media interviews, and being urged by brands to shoot five commercials. It was indeed quite tiring.

However, in the days since the Olympics ended, his account ha...

Chapter 83: Fame in China

"Mom, look, Link is a world champion now. Do you still think he's a bad boy?"

In a hotel room in New York's Times Square, Taylor Swift sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching Link writing Chinese characters on TV.

"He is indeed very good now, but he did do bad things in the past, and I didn't make it up."

Mrs. Andrea placed a plate of washed blueberries on the table.

"Then will you still stop us from dating? Don't deny it, you forced Dad to pretend to be paralyze...

Chapter 82: Exciting Review

"Catherine, come quick and see, Link is on TV! Wow, he looks so handsome in a suit."

In front of the TV, Selena Gomez sat on the sofa, wearing a yellow dress and stockings, holding a bag of chips in her arms, her cheeks bulging with snacks like a giant hamster.

Catherine came out of the study wearing glasses, holding a script in her hand. She looked at Link in a suit on TV, his facial features handsome and three-dimensional, always with a charming smile on his face. She nod...

Chapter 81: The Champion's Entrance

"Hello everyone, good afternoon. I'm your old friend Steve. God bless, after eight months away from the studio, I'm finally back here again. I miss this place, and I miss all of you. Thank God."

In the HBO TV studio, host Steve Mandanda sat in front of the large broadcasting desk, looking excitedly at the camera with tears in his eyes, as if something he loved had been lost and then regained, making him uncontrollably excited.

"Steve, control your emotions, or they'll have ...

Chapter 80: The End of the Olympics

In August, Link represented the U.S. boxing team in the Beijing Olympics.

The Olympic boxing competition consisted of five rounds: elimination round, preliminary round, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The number of participants was relatively small, only 30, but they were all the strongest boxers from the four continents.

The elimination round was held on August 12th at the Beijing Workers' Stadium. Link faced Japanese boxer Nobuhiro Ishida and knocked him out with a...

Chapter 79: Boxing Arrangements

"Cut!"

The cameo appearance in "Fast & Furious" went smoothly. Link played the role of Dwight, an underground racer.

In "Fast & Furious 4," Dominic Toretto, to catch the killer of his girlfriend Letty, and Brian O'Conner, to catch a South American drug lord, team up again to participate in a drug organization using a racing competition as a cover, successfully infiltrating it.

Link's Dwight also participated in the race, ultimately being outperformed by the tw...

Chapter 78: Cameo Appearance in a Movie

Link had agreed with Franco to transfer the yacht's ownership after winning the gold medal at the Olympics. To achieve this, Link returned to the boxing gym to continue training after a two-day break.

However, with fame came more responsibilities. One day after training, he received a call from director Justin Lin.

The director mentioned that he had seen Link's impressive driving skills and asked if he was interested in making a cameo appearance as a racer in his film.

Chapter 77: The Double-Decker Yacht

Woo!

The sun shone through the window, casting a large golden patch of sunlight on the carpet. A loud whistle came from the sea.

Link opened his eyes and suddenly felt a soft weight on his body. He looked up at the woman lying on his chest, her chestnut hair messy on her face, her beautiful cheeks showing a trace of tiredness and satisfaction after the pleasure.

The sunlight shone on her smooth back, her wheat-colored skin as delicate as silk, with two or three sesame...

Chapter 76: Gal Gadot

Work it make it do it

Makes us longer better faster stronger

N-n-now th-that don't kill me

Can only make me stronger

At night, in the Pink Lover Bar, the colorful lights flickered, and the music was noisy. Hundreds of men and women swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music on the dance floor, screaming.

The smell of alcohol, perfume, and marijuana made the people in the bar even more crazy and wild.

Link sat in the corner booth, quietly looking ...

Chapter 75: Millionaire

Not long after finalizing the contract with Franco, Link received a call from Greg Cohen of Top Rank, a leading boxing promotion company.

"Hi, Link, are you busy? How about we chat again about the contract?" Greg Cohen greeted him in a familiar tone.

"Mr. Cohen? What are we chatting about?" Link asked, putting down his dumbbells.

"I heard you're about to sign with Dynasty Promotion?" Greg Cohen snorted disdainfully. "Link, as a veteran boxing promoter, I can responsib...

Chapter 74: Signing the Contract

“Franco, what are you doing here?”

When Franco walked into the small living room, Link and Nora Duval were having tea and chatting, with a folder they had just looked at on the table.

Seeing the folder, Franco's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no."

Today, his assistant told him that Nora had come from New York. When he got home in the afternoon, he only saw Nora's luggage but not Nora herself. He couldn't get through on the phone, and when he...

Chapter 73: Nora

Nora Duva quietly looked at Link Baker sitting in the chair opposite her. Although she had watched several of Link's boxing matches on TV and learned a lot about Link from Franco, she was still a little surprised when she saw Link in person. Link looked polite and gentlemanly in his clothes, with a gentle and friendly demeanor, not at all like the fierce and violent figure in the ring.

It felt like there were two different people on and off the stage, like a pair of twins, one a ...

Chapter 72: Fame

Dr. Holt was a doctor recommended by Coach West and a long-term contracted surgeon for the boxing gym. He was in his fifties, graduated from the University of Miami School of Medicine, and was skilled in treating trauma.

However, he didn't have much room to show off his skills with Link, because Link discovered after coming to this world that he had a strong self-healing ability. The last time he was stabbed in the back, his injury healed in just half a month, and ordinary injuri...

Chapter 71: Income

"Link, Wilson came to collect the venue management fee. I said you are a star customer, can you get a discount? He said no."

In Baker's diving shop, Fatty James saw off two diving tourists, put two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the round glass table, lifted his buttocks back, lay down on the beach chair next to him with a creak, and took off his head. He took off his hat and combed back his sweat-soaked brown curly hair with his hands.

"Of course, the beach is...

Chapter 70: Post-match

"Link, the newspaper you want!"

"Thank you!"

On the beach in front of Baker's shop, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea rolled up blue waves from time to time, washing the white sandy beach. White water birds fluttered past the beach and landed on the tall and lush coconut tree crowns with the sea breeze.

Link lay on the beach chair, opened his eyes, pushed up the sunglasses covering his face, and there was a stack of newspapers in his arms, "Miami Herald", "Los...

*Chapter 69: The Second Champion*

“Aragon, go for it!”

“Aragon, beat that American!”

In the stands, the Cuban spectators shouted loudly. Their voices, once light and casual before the match, were now filled with anger and resentment, as they could see that Aragon was likely losing to that damned American.

Their voices also conveyed their disappointment in Aragon.

On the ring, Link looked at Aragon, who was coming towards him. Aragon had his fists clenched, his body tensed, his dark skin ...

Chapter 68: The Second Knockdown

"10, 9, 8, 7"

On the boxing ring, Aragon was struggling on the ground, and the referee squatted beside him and counted.

Link was panting heavily against the ropes, his right arm hanging on the ropes, his biceps twitching non-stop. Although the backhand punch just now was used beautifully, it was too hard and the impact was too strong, resulting in slight biceps. The biceps were strained and the knuckles were a little sore.

At this time, hearing the referee counting, h...

Chapter 67: Knockdown

On the boxing ring, Link grabbed the rope and straightened up, touched his face with his glove, and the dizziness in his head gradually disappeared.

Just now, his hook hit Aragon first, causing Aragon's swing to deviate slightly, and the impact force on his head was also reduced by 20% to 30%, so in this round, the two were almost tied.

Aragon on the opposite side didn't wait for the referee to come over to ask, so he immediately straightened up, looked at Link coldly, bloo...

Chapter 66: Provocation

"Boxing!"

The referee came over and waved his arm.

The game continued, Link raised his fists and moved forward, approaching Aragon little by little, without fear.

While Aragon put his arms up, his shoulders moved up and down, and his feet kept changing positions.

Seeing the opponent's posture, Link knew that the opponent was more cautious and would work harder on defense. It would be more difficult to use the "injury for injury" tactic to deal with the opponent ...

Chapter 65: Exchange Punches

On the boxing ring, after the referee announced the rules, the match was about to start, and the shouting at the scene was like a cut-off waterfall, falling to the ground with a crash, turning into a pool of still water.

More than 10,000 people at the scene opened their eyes wide and looked at the boxing ring illuminated by lights. Two men wearing shorts and boxing gloves, one with dark skin and strong muscles, like black iron, and the other with bronze skin, firm and well-propor...

Chapter 64: Tactics

Before going on stage, Link had asked himself many times in his heart, if it was before the Golden Gloves, if he met Lorenzo Aragon, could he beat him, the answer is no.

At that time, even if he had rich experience in competitions, he was far inferior to Aragon in terms of physical condition and boxing skills.

According to his current growth rate, there is about two years of difference between his physical condition and Aragon's.

Link also asked himself, if he met Ara...

Chapter 63: Mindset

"Aragon must win!"

The Cuban audience at the game continued to shout loudly.

Someone in the audience played the blue, white and red Cuban flag and waved it vigorously.

Some people put several crocodile skin drums on the second floor and beat them vigorously, and there was also a group of Cuban dancers who brought unique singing and dancing performances to the audience in the open space in the middle.

Especially when a group of scantily clad Cuban girls took to t...
