I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 182 Serving as Honorary Chairman
Li Ang's words suddenly reminded everyone of the scene where Maurice Lloyd punched Li Ang in the face. Compared to Li Ang knocking down his opponent and receiving a punch from a professional boxer without any reaction, it was even more unusual.

Even Maurice Lloyd, who had just been defeated by Li Ang, stood up to speak for Li Ang.

"If anyone feels that Li Ang's ability to resist punches just now was not practiced in Chinese martial arts, but through other methods, he can come out and punch me in the face. If he can perform as unscathed as Li Ang, then I agree with your questioning point of view.”

At this moment, even the group of people who were the most skillful at using force simply shut their mouths. Anyway, if they continue to argue, there will be no results. It is not worthwhile to receive another punch, let alone the rightful owner. Everyone started to support Li Ang.

In fact, the reason why Maurice Lloyd stood up to support Li Ang was because he saw Li Ang's potential.

Even his boxing coach in the audience had just made no secret of his affirmation of Li Ang's talent.

Based on this fighting ability and the lethality of his fists, he felt that with a little more systematic training, Li Ang could compete in professional boxing matches.

And with his talent, his future achievements will be far better than his own. At this time, if he can use some insignificant things to gain Li Ang's favor, he will definitely make a profit.

After the award ceremony was over, Lyanna and Aisha broke through the crowd and came to Li Ang's side.

"Can I touch your trophy?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Giovanni Daniel. I am a professional boxing coach and the head of the boxing team. Your opponent in the boxing ring just now was trained by me."

It just so happened that he knew the person who spoke behind him, and so did Li Ang.

Although he is now a novice in the professional boxing arena, his strength is not. He can definitely find a more powerful and well-known team of coaches and managers.

"I might need to go back and think about it, and maybe you could give me your business card and give you a call if I feel like it."

Giovanni Daniel's face darkened, he turned around, and was about to get angry. The other players hadn't spoken yet. Why did you come over to interrupt? But when he saw the person who was speaking, he suddenly and seamlessly switched his expressions. , turned into a somewhat ugly smile.

"Honestly, I never thought that you would have such a brilliant performance. I don't mean to disapprove of you. You know, this is really unbelievable."

Lyanna was somewhat incoherently telling Li Ang some of her thoughts after watching Li Ang's game.

Everyone knows that if you challenge stronger and more famous players, you can earn blood if you win, but it is not a big loss if you lose. You can even make money even if you lose. But here comes the problem. Those players who are more famous, Why should I fight you?

"That's right. I think you have extraordinary talent in the sport of boxing. If you train with me, I guarantee that within half a year, you will become a new star in the boxing world."

Li Ang nodded and replied:

A few people just stayed for a while, and soon a white middle-aged man approached Li Ang.

In fact, boxers can also be understood as stars after fighting. Not only do you need to be strong, you also need to have the right resources, that is, you have to find someone to fight you.

"You'd better save it, Mr. Li Ang won't choose you."

Solving these off-field problems is no easier than on the field.

Aisha looked at the golden trophy in Li Ang's hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Li Ang frowned and was about to refuse directly, when suddenly another voice came from behind.

However, the coach seemed not to hear the meaning of Li Ang's words, or he did, but wanted to fight for it. He took a few steps forward, stopped Li Ang who was about to turn around and left, and continued to persuade:
"Believe me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you follow me, you will have a competition right away. There will even be professional players who will be your sparring partners. And I also know a very powerful agent. All you need is In a few years, you can make money that you could never make in your life before.”

Don't underestimate this. A successful boxer is not only strong in strength, but also has a team of coaches and agents behind him.

"Mr. Jonas David, why are you here?"

I have to say that the conditions he proposed are quite sincere. Unfortunately, Li Ang is not an ordinary newcomer.

Li Ang answered more tactfully. In fact, he did have relevant wishes, but it also required careful planning and careful consideration.

Although Li Ang didn't know his name before this, he had indeed seen him in Dana Bai's office.

It's no wonder that these coaches are so scared. One is a direct subordinate of UFC President Dana White, and the other is just an ordinary boxing coach. There are quite a lot of differences in status.

Jonas David ignored him at all, but walked directly in front of Leon and stretched out his hand to him.

"We meet again, Mr. Li Ang. Your performance today is very impressive. To be honest, it is beyond my imagination. I have just had a phone call with our president and reported your situation. Likewise, I am also following his instructions. Next, I would like to discuss some follow-up cooperation issues with you.”

Li Ang shook hands with him and asked:
"Is it about signing to become a UFC fighter?"

Jonas David smiled and said:

"It seems that I was too obvious. Yes, that's it. Mr. White invited you to further discuss this matter, which can be regarded as making our cooperation more in-depth."

Behind him, the coach who heard the conversation between the two turned around and left silently without any nostalgia.

Just kidding, the president of the UFC has come to recruit people, even a fool knows how to choose.

Lyanna and Elsa on the side also covered their mouths in surprise. Although they usually don't pay much attention to these fighting competitions, they have also heard of the famous UFC mixed martial arts. Who would have thought that Li Ang would become a star in it? Opportunities for players.

The image of Li Ang in their minds has gone from an ordinary high school classmate to a classmate who is very good at fighting. From this look, it seems that he will become a sports star classmate?
Even if you don’t know much about deeper things, those who have paid a little attention to the news will know that some UFC star players can even earn tens of millions of dollars a year.

This number alone can prove a lot of things.

This time Li Ang did not say that he would talk about it in the future, but directly expressed that he also had related wishes.

"It's just that I still have some unfinished business here, you know."

"It doesn't matter. I understand very well. Mr. President has been in New York during this period. If you are free, you can come over at any time."

After saying that, Jonas David left a business card for Leon, said hello, and turned around to leave. He was confident that no one would refuse this invitation.

Li Ang is not prevaricating this time, but the matter with the Chinese Martial Arts Association has not been settled yet. In addition, he will not go to discuss the contract with them alone. There happens to be an old acquaintance here, so there is no need to use it. .

After sending Lyanna and her sister away, Javier soon came over.

As soon as he saw Li Ang's figure, Javier quickened his pace, came to Li Ang's side and said:
"Long time no see, coach, I miss you so much. I didn't expect to meet you here." After the two said hello, Li Ang also noticed that there was a woman in her early twenties next to Javier. Wearing a long windbreaker, a white shirt, a plaid skirt and black stockings, she looks quite ladylike.

And judging from her curious expression, this person is definitely not Javier's follower.

"Fremea Jones, Javier's aunt."

"Leon."

The two briefly introduced themselves to each other and shook hands, which was considered acquaintance.

"You came at just the right time. It just so happens that I still need Adele's help with some things."

Li Ang also told them what Jonas David had just talked to him about about UFC players, hoping to get Adele's legal assistance.

Javier agreed without any hesitation. In fact, Adele would have agreed even if he didn't say anything. Before that, Javier's parents had already told them that they owed Leon a favor when he encountered difficulties. When you are in need, you must do whatever you can to help.

After hearing this, Fremea sighed in her heart, and now she couldn't ask Li Ang to be Javier's home coach.

Although UFC players also have an extremely competitive and difficult path, in any case, it is less difficult than ordinary people to cross the class.

After the matter here was over, Li Ang came to the venue of the Chinese Martial Arts Association after talking to Yang Zhenghong on the phone, and held a post-match meeting.

He came relatively late, so as soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

However, these glances did not blame him for being late, but looked at him with admiration, admiration, envy, and jealousy.

Before Li Ang even took two steps, the whole audience looked at him and burst into warm applause. They felt a little embarrassed for him. He just won an exchange conference and acted as if he was about to ascend the throne.

As he was looking for his seat, he realized that his seat was in the front row.

The treatment he received at this time was in sharp contrast to when he first got off the plane.

After talking a lot of nonsense, we also talked about some key topics.

First, Chu Yuanfeng was invited to serve as a director of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and he was offered an annual salary of US$200,000.

And there is no need for him to go to work. He just needs to show up when some important matters need to be handled by him.

This thing sounds like free money, but in fact it is similar to the guest elders of a big family.

At this exchange conference, Chu Yuanfeng also showed his extremely strong combat power. These veterans dragged him into this camp in order to find the right people to help him when he faced such difficulties in the future. .

This is certainly not a loss for Chu Yuanfeng. Fighting in a martial arts studio is much better than fighting in underground black boxing. Moreover, the salary is quite considerable. Although he does not chase money, he does not mind that it is too much.

Since Chu Yuanfeng has made arrangements, Li Ang naturally cannot escape.

However, even he himself did not expect that this group of people was quite courageous, and the position assigned to him was the honorary chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, with an annual salary of half a million US dollars.

Generally speaking, the position of Honorary Chairman is only given to seniors who have made significant contributions to the association or have very high status. It is really unexpected that he is directly asked to hold the position this time.

Sure enough, just after the announcement, even the coaches from various martial arts schools in the audience had expressions of disbelief.

Li Ang won the championship of this competition for the Chinese Wushu Association. Although it is a very big contribution, if it is really quantified, it is not so big that it can be directly given to the honorary chairman.

In fact, the reason why they were willing to offer such a position to Li Ang was because they wanted to win over him.

Not to mention Li Ang's strength is the best in the game, he even defeated a professional boxer, and more importantly, Li Ang is now less than 18 years old, and there are endless possibilities in the future.

Now it seems that the position of Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association is a bit high, but in a few years, if Li Ang is asked to sit in this position, he may not even like it.

And for these old guys, giving them a position does not really mean they have given anything important, nor does it reduce their power.

An annual salary of five hundred thousand sounds relatively high, but with so many martial arts schools, if you divide it among everyone, it's actually not much.

Just because Li Ang won the championship this time, the extra income they gained from the profit distribution would be several million US dollars.

Compared with the efforts, there are naturally many benefits. Since Li Ang has become the honorary chairman of the association, in the future, when the association is called upon again, when there are such competitions to participate in, or they need to link up with other organizations, Whenever there is hype, there is always room for Li Ang to come into play.

Therefore, after several people who made the decision made the stakes clear, everyone unanimously passed the decision.

As for Li Ang, he is naturally willing to achieve such cooperation.

This is equivalent to being a pay-per-view mercenary, but now he is a regular army with a salary.

Not to mention anything else, just the name of the honorary chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association would be bluffing.

This is not a pheasant association, but an association founded by Zhengerba through hundreds of martial arts schools in New York. It has a history of several decades.

Chu Yuanfeng was quite convinced that Li Ang was treated better than him. He only believed in one thing, that the big fist was the last word. Li Ang was far stronger than him, and he deserved all of this.

The collective reward here was obtained, and the individual reward from Huaqiang Martial Arts Hall on the other side was not forgotten by Li Ang.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhenghong consciously increased Li Ang's remuneration to 200,000 US dollars.

In this martial arts exchange conference, Huaqiang Martial Arts School, as the main representative, is the party that benefits the most. What's more, Li Ang has now become the honorary chairman of the association, so he has to hold on tight to this thigh.

In fact, before the meeting, Yang Zhenghong called his junior brother.

"Junior brother, I really want to thank you so much this time. The experts you recommended are really good and have helped us a lot."

On the other side, Yan Tianqi was still in a state of confusion.

"Ah? What master? Are you talking about that boy Li Ang?"
