On May 18, 2024, in the 2024 (Xiamen, China) WBC/WBO Professional Boxing Championship held at the Xiamen Kah Kee Stadium, Tao Zhongchao, cousin of Xiong Chaozhong, China's first world champion, KOD his opponent in the second round at 1:54.

Become the fifth boxer to win the WBC World Youth Boxing Champion in Chinese history.

   Muhan Haili VS Kurdipu (India)

There were five matches in total on the day. Former Chinese national team member Muhan Haili Nurta started the game and played the only six round rookie game without title that night.

His opponent is Kurdip Singh, a 35 year old player from India.

Kurdipu Singh has a professional record of 9 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw in 17 wars. He once played for the national team of India's Olympic system and began to participate in international competitions on behalf of India in 2011.

After the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Kurdip Singh changed his career. He went to Beijing Capital Sports Center in 2017 and played six rounds with Wu Zhiyu, drawing 1-0.

The main match that day was Ma Yiming's challenge to the WBA World Provisional Champion, but he failed.

After 2023, Kuldeep Singh won and lost 1 in 4 battles. All the lost games were injured and TKO. It is obvious that he has entered a fragile period of his career.

Muhan Haili was born in Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, and is a Kazak. He once joined the Xinjiang team, but later he was transferred to Jilin and participated in amateur competitions such as the National Youth Championship and the National Championship on behalf of Jilin.

His best result is that he won the third place in the national championship and national championship in 2021, and once served as the substitute and training partner of Han Xuezhen, the main player in the national team.

After retiring from Jilin Team last year, Muhan Haili went to Wuhan Sport University to study. This time in Xiamen, he was a professional rookie.

Since he has not been trained for a year, Muhan Haili specially hired a coach from Kazakhstan to practice in Shanghai for more than a month before the game.

After the start of the competition, both sides had good pace control and moved quickly because they had good boxing skills in the Olympic system. Muhan Haili has many kinds of fists, which have a certain flavor.

When the game reached the third round, Muhammad Haili saw the right moment, put two right swings in one wave, and directly shook Kurdipu, finally TKO won his first professional game.

   Jiang Lichang vs Li Hansong (South Korea)

Jiang Lichang comes from Macao boxing house and has won 10 wars and 10 victories so far. He has defeated Zhang Fangyong, Su Yinhuan and other front-line fighters in China, and his technical system is more exquisite.

This time, the Korean boxer Lee Hansong competed with him for the 115 pound Far East Intercontinental title of WBC super flyweight.

Li Hansong, 31 years old, has won 8 and lost 4 KOs in 11 professional battles. He has won three divided South Korean national titles, including KBA and South Korea.

But in 2022, in the National Junior Weight Championship of South Korea, Wu Shanghan was KO in the first round. Wu Shanghan is the boxer who was defeated by Chinese boxer Zhou Runqi in Lishan, South Korea last year.

At the end of 2023, Li Hansong was unanimously defeated by Chinese boxer Cao Jiangtao in 10 rounds in Shangluo, China. Today's match with Jiang Lichang is that he will come to China again half a year later.

In terms of height, arm span and speed, Li Hansong was suppressed by Jiang Lichang. Even when he retreated to avoid in the second round, he was knocked down by Jiang Lichang.

At the end of the game, after 10 rounds, Jiang Lichang decided unanimously by 3-0 (99-91, 99-90 and 100-89) and won his 11th victory with effective and accurate technology.

Since Jiang Lichang was the 48th in the 115 pound world before the match, he should be ready to touch some high-level double star or three-star boxers to seek his own strength boundary. Only in this way can we explore a better development direction.

   Wuzati VS Sajad (Iran)

Wu Zhati, a Uygur boxer from Xinjiang, China, once won the junior champion in Xinjiang. He was famous for defeating his amateur coach in the Shengli Family competition in August 2017 and winning the master apprentice war.

However, although he also won the national title of WBO later, his competition quality and star rating have always been low, and he currently ranks 179 in the world's super middleweight.

Weighed before the competition, Wuzati exceeded nearly 2 kg with 179 pounds.

In view of this, WBC Far East decided to punish him. According to the rules, the two sides agreed that the game would continue as usual, and Wuzati would be fined 20% of the appearance fee and 1000 dollars to the opponent; If Wu Zhati wins the game, the record of the game will be a draw, and Wu Zhati cannot get the intercontinental gold belt.

If his opponent Sajad wins, he will be the new WBC Far East 175 pound super middleweight champion.

His opponent Sajad is 38 years old and used to be a member and coach of the Iranian national team. He represented Iran in the 2013 Baku World Championships, the Oman Asian Championships, the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the 2015 Bangkok Asian Championships and other amateur world boxing events..

He also went to Qian'an, China, to participate in the Olympic qualifiers in 2016.

In 2014, after IABA allowed amateur boxers to play professional matches, Sajad began to participate in them. He won a world champion of group organization UBO, but later he was KO in competing for WBO intercontinental title.

It shows how cheap the gold belt of this small organization is.

On February 10 this year, when Zhang Zhaoxin and Yevgeny competed for the WBA World 224 pound challenge in Yekaterinburg, Sajad also participated in the battle on the spot, when he lost to Russia's 175 pound world 50th Nikita.

Today's game for Wuzati is not about gold belt, and winning can't be recorded as winning, but he is still professional and plays hard. Both sides had a strong muscle cross confrontation.

During the competition, Wuzati was also hit on the head and bleeding all over his face. The referee called the doctor twice, but the game still played 10 rounds.

The last three referees awarded a 1-1 draw (98-92, 95-95, 94-96).

This disappointed Sajad who failed to get the gold belt.

   Yang Yongqiang vs Ruan Wenhai (Vietnam)

This was the only double star rating competition held by the World Boxing Archive Network that night.

Ruan Wenhai, a former member of the Vietnam National Team, won the silver medal in the Southeast Asia Games twice in 2011 and 2015, participated in the Jakarta Asian Games, and lost to Erdeni Bart in the Asian qualifiers of the Tokyo Olympic Games.

This Erdeni Bart is the champion of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games and also the Mongolian boxer who defeated Liu Wensong in Guangzhou last year.

Since 2011, Nguyen Van Hay has participated in the World Championships and Asian Championships, as well as the Asian Games and Southeast Asian Games on behalf of the Vietnamese national team for many times, so he is very famous. He is one of the first boxers specially approved by the Vietnam National Sports Association to play professional boxing. He is also the second PFP among the 85 professional boxers in Vietnam and the first lightweight boxer in Vietnam.

Yang Yongqiang ranks 5th in the PFP among about 350 professional boxers in China, the first in China's lightweight, and is also a rare 3-star boxer in China.

However, due to Ruan Wenhai's defensive tactics of shrinking back, the game was extremely ugly.

In the first eight rounds, Ruan Wenhai held on to his defence, stepped backward and flashed, which made Yang Yongqiang's attack very difficult.

Although in each round, Yang Yongqiang, whose height and arm span are 10 cm more than his opponent's, can hit 1-2 punches effectively, while his opponent lacks clarity.

However, the game was very dull due to the opponent's passivity.

Ruan Wenhai didn't attack until the last two rounds, trying to change the rhythm to achieve the reversal effect.

His tactics made Yang Yongqiang, who was not adapted to his long hanging, suffer several losses.

However, the practice of giving up 8 rounds of consumption first and betting on KO in the last 2 rounds is difficult to work under the control of an experienced boxer holding and dodging.

After the last 10 rounds, Yang Yongqiang won by 3-0 (98-92, 98-92, 96:94) and won the WBO Oriental Intercontinental Lightweight Gold Belt.

Before the epidemic, Yang Yongqiang had actually entered the top 15 of WBO world. He had the opportunity to play in the ranking contest in the organization and look for opportunities to challenge the world.

However, the epidemic situation led to the interruption of his game. This time, he played six rounds in the first two games. This was the first 10 rounds, but he was defeated by the opponent's shrinking tactics.

After the game, Yang Yongqiang, who resumed playing for 10 rounds, felt very tired and went back to his room to rest halfway through the dinner.

In view of the fact that Yang Yongqiang is already a three-star boxer and the world's top 80, he also needs to play high-quality, high-level competitions to find his own strength position in order to formulate the next development plan.

   WBC 12lb World Youth Boxing Championship

   Tao Zhongchao vs Ndam

Ndam is from Tanzania, a country with only 34 professional fighters. The double star Ndam, who has won 8 in 9 wars and drawn 1, is the first in Tanzania's PFP and ranked 86 in the 112 pound world comprehensive points before the game.

As Xiong Chaozhong's cousin, Tao Zhongchao went to Beijing from Yunnan at the age of 17 and joined the M23 team. They are surrounded by such great gods as Xu Can and Wu Lan. The coach is also very powerful and has laid a good foundation.

But because of the epidemic and other reasons, he has not been able to verify his real strength in the game.

In the five games played before, 4 wins and 1 loses. In the four wins, three opponents are rookies without record.

Even with such an opponent, Tao Zhongchao was very flustered in the MAX event in Beijing, and even hit him with a slap.

In the only eight round match against Thai boxers in his hometown last year, the opponent was directly KO by Tao Zhongchao before he finished the first round. So there is no sample of the strength of the world champion's cousin.

Ndam, who was unbeaten in 9 games and the same age, was Tao Zhongchao's first opponent and was somewhat expected.

In the first round of the game, the two sides were basically probing each other, and Tao Zhongchao's several back chases and confrontations were not strong enough. It seems that I didn't expect to hit my opponent.

After the game, Ren Hongbao, the coach, said that he had asked Tao Zhongchao to stop the first round and not exert his strength.

After entering the second round, Tao Zhongchao showed his strength. In a cross fight with his opponent, he hit his opponent's abdomen with his left hook, and directly hit Ndam back against the corner of the fist.

It is obvious that this fist has suffered a lot.

However, Tao Zhongchao did not give the mobile phone meeting. After a wave of left and right swing, he once again left hooked his opponent's right rib. Ndam lay down in pain and vomited his dental support.

The referee waved KO.

Tao Zhongchao became the fifth Chinese boxer to win the WBC World Youth Champion after Yang Xingxin, Bai Shanbo, Li Yiran and Xiong Hu.

In the WBC 112 pound world history, there have been 12 generations of world youth boxing champions and 42 matches.

There are not only great gods like Virolia and Biga Dawu who later evolved into world adult boxing champions, but also the likes of Thailand's Gafeirapong and Songkong who fought WBC world youth several times and retired.

How Tao Zhongchao will develop in the future depends on whether he can continue to play at a high level.

Only when he wins at least one ranked boxer in Japan's JBC countries can he say that he has reached the maturity of a front-line boxer and can ask about the certification fee of Intercontinental Golden Belt.
