Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"No, the cruiserweight division also has a lot of strong guys, but I started with heavyweight because many boxers there are old and ready to retire, like Holyfield, James Toney, Hasim Rahman, Valuev and others. I was worried that if I waited a few more years to fight in the heavyweight division, they would have retired, and I wouldn't be able to face them, which would make me feel very regretful,"

Link said, spreading his hands.

"Unbelievable, so that's the reason, Link! I remember you challenged them back in '08, so are you fulfilling a promise now?"

Mandanda asked.

"No, the reason I want to fight them is that they are all masters, and I enjoy testing my skills against the best. It makes me stronger,"

Link said confidently.

"Is this guy crazy? Just as he's secured his place as the light heavyweight champion and he's already thinking about moving up to challenge the heavyweights. Isn't he afraid of getting destroyed?"

Hoyle exclaimed in surprise in front of the TV.

"That's what a real boxer does, swings at the strong. Link really is something,"

Hopkins admired.

"He just said he wants to fight Valuev! Valuev is 213 centimeters, and he's only 186 centimeters. Isn't that asking for a beatdown?"

Hoyle remarked.

"I think Link can definitely win,"

Morales said.

"It's not about who you think will win; Valuev's reach is 213, and Link is only 194—too much of a difference. He can't even reach Valuev with his punches, okay?"

Hoyle pointed out.

"James, Evander, Link says he wants to fight you guys, do you dare take him on?"

In a Fight Club in Las Vegas, Tyson watched the television, then turned to look at his companions, 'Lights Out' James Toney and 'The Real Deal' Evander Holyfield.

"Of course, I'm not afraid of Link. If he dares to fight me, I'll definitely crush him,"

James Toney said, flexing his muscles fiercely.

Holyfield touched his chin, watching Link surrounded by reporters on the TV, and noted, "He is indeed formidable, but he's too light for the heavyweight class, and doesn't have much advantage in punch weight. If he dares to challenge me next year, he's bound to fail."

"I think so too,"

James Toney added.

"Ha, seeing you guys so confident makes me eager to see your match with Link. I bet it would be spectacular,"

Tyson said, slapping his thigh and grinning broadly with his gold tooth.

"Absolutely,"

James Toney glanced at the TV and then got up to leave.

When Tyson asked him where he was going, James Toney said he was heading to the boxing gym to train, aiming to be the first to defeat Link.

After thinking for a moment, Holyfield also stood up, saying he wanted to train as well.

Seeing them suddenly getting active, Tyson couldn't help but laugh heartily.

At that time, it wasn't just James Toney and Holyfield; all the heavyweight boxers around the world were invigorated by the news, quietly getting up and heading to the boxing gyms, while all the cruiserweight champions breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, at the boxing match venue, after being interviewed by reporters, Link took photos with fans and signed autographs. He also encountered Ms. Charlize Theron in the front row of the audience.

She was wearing a duckbill cap, a casual T-shirt, and jeans, looking like an ordinary spectator.

Link almost didn't recognize her.

Seeing Ms. Theron greeting him, he curiously asked how she happened to be there, and as he spoke, he suddenly remembered she was the 'South African Diamond', a South African.

Ms. Theron responded with a radiant smile, saying she was on vacation in the area, had seen the promotion for his match, and decided to come watch. She asked when he might be free, as she would like to invite him to sample some South African wine and cuisine.

Link agreed and said he would contact her later.
