Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Yes, we had coffee together,"

Link said with a smile.

"Wait, Link, I've got a question,"

Rafael raised his hand, pointing to the big screen, and said, "During the match, I heard a lot of people in the audience shouting your name. Do you have a lot of boxing fans in Huaxia too?"

Steve reopened the big screen and turned up the volume. During the match between Link and Altayev, many people in the audience were shouting 'Link XX! Link XXX!' Since it was in Chinese, everyone only understood the 'Link' part.

Steve said to Link, "Can you explain this to us, Link?" Read new chapters at empire

Link replied, "There was a feature before this match. I don't know if you cut it out."

"Hold on, I'll contact the back stage!"

Steve gestured to the production studio.

Ms. Tina immediately contacted the editing studio.

After a while, a feature indeed appeared on TV. Before the match, as both boxers entered the arena, Link asked a volunteer for a pen and wrote something on the sign that bore his name—'Huaxia people, my name is Link, please cheer for me!'

As he was writing, the CCTV commentator exclaimed in surprise, amazed that an American boxer was writing Chinese characters live, asking the audience to cheer for him.

Link's writing was in block characters, not very neat but large and clear. After he finished, he held it up high, and the camera broadcasted the sign to the big screen. The thousands of spectators on site also cried out in surprise and then began to cheer loudly for Link.

Link smiled, pointing to the sign on the screen, and said, "That's why they were cheering for me."

"Link, why can you write Chinese characters?"

Steve asked in amazement.

Link nodded and said with a smile, "On the flight to Han Jing, I met a Huaxia actress who taught me Chinese. I have a pretty good talent for languages, and after a few days, I could write some simple Chinese characters."

"Wow, that's incredible! Chinese is one of the hardest languages in the world. Even professors from Ivy League universities can't learn it. You learned it after just a few days? Link, can you write a few more Chinese characters for us right here?"

"I can try,"

Link nodded his head. Then, the staff brought over a white cardboard and a black marker. Link wrote a few Chinese characters on it: 'sun, moon, stars, tree, sea,' still in block letters, looking like they were arranged with matchsticks, at the level of an elementary school student, but they were indeed Chinese characters.

Because he could write Chinese characters, in the subsequent matches, whenever he appeared, the Huaxia audience would cheer loudly for him.

After the match, many media outlets reported this news, and CCTV reporters also interviewed him, inquiring why he knew Chinese, why he wanted to learn Chinese, and how much Chinese he knew.

Naturally, Link praised Chinese characters heavily, calling them the greatest writing system in the world, and Chinese the greatest language. After the interview, that night, his story made it to CCTV's evening news.

On the seventh day of the Olympic Games opening, he also became popular on Huaxia's internet and media for his handsome appearance and the interesting 'matchstick' Chinese characters, gaining high fame in Huaxia.

Subsequently, his boxing matches received special attention from Huaxia TV stations, with the audience growing from over a thousand to more than three thousand people, mostly university students from schools around the stadium, all coming to cheer for him.

Link also gained some home-field advantage in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.

After the news of him bravely saving a drowning child was exposed, Huaxia TV stations repeatedly reported the news, calling it one of the most touching events of the 29th Olympic Games.

In the final match against Aragon, more than ten thousand people came to Han Jing Workers' Stadium, all loudly cheering for him.

Seeing so many supporters, Link didn't want to lose in front of his hometown crowd. He became more excited as he fought, scoring 108 points in the first round, with 48 heavy punches, knocking Aragon down. In the second round, he continued to exert his power, knocking Aragon down again and forcing Aragon to give up the match.

Because if Aragon had continued to fight, there was a real possibility that he would get injured, which would affect the battle for the silver medal. In the end, Aragon had a match with James Gedel, defeating Gedel with a score of 22:13, and winning the silver medal for a second time.

"Mike, look, this is Link's tactic, using language to gain home-field advantage. If it were you, could you think of that?" Rafael asked, pointing to the whiteboard.

Tyson shook his head, looking at Link as if he was a monster, "To learn a language just to win a match? And it's Chinese, the hardest one? I think apart from Link, no one can do it."

Link smiled faintly. In his previous life, he wished to represent his country in the Olympics, but regrettably missed out. This life he also wanted to, but being a pure American, even if he wanted to naturalize, he didn't have the chance. He could only fulfill his wish of two lifetimes this way, and fortunately, the result was quite good.

"Ask Link who that Huaxia actress is? He mentioned 'she',"

Ms. Tina said.

Steve, feeling helpless, thought: how did a good sports program turn into a gossip entertainment news show?
