Chapter 354

"Alright, this is our first time going to Europe, and also my first time truly engaging in a showdown with a European boxer!"

"I didn't expect the organizer of the Global Underground Boxing Championship to think so highly of me, offering an appearance fee of twenty million USD!"

"Right now it's only the first round of the Global Underground Boxing Championship; if I can reach the final decisive battle, the total prize money will be very considerable!"

"This 'Iron Chariot' from Italy has height and body weight far exceeding mine, and his strength is not bad!"

"However, meeting me in the very first round — one can only say his luck is not good!"

"Fighting this kind of 'Tie Da Ge', there's almost no pressure at all."

"By the way, have our accommodations in the Netherlands, Europe been arranged?"

"There are still two days left; we'll go over early, I need to adapt to my condition before the match begins."

Chen Jie calmly instructed.

The match prize of twenty million USD, plus ticket revenue and betting dividends, winning would yield a total income of one hundred million USD.

Truthfully, this amount of money holds little attraction for Chen Jie's net worth, nor for the Qinglong Society's total revenue.

The Qinglong Society lacks money, but absolutely not a little bit.

The real core benefit lies in underground boxing!

As Chen Jie's fame in the global underground boxing world grew larger and larger.

His prize money and earnings per match have already become the ceiling for all boxers in the Asian martial arts world.

Although every match, after the Qinglong Society places bets, the revenue will exceed one billion USD.

However,

Even a mosquito is meat no matter how small; Chen Jie doesn't disdain this bit of appearance fee.

Of course,

Chen Jie's motto is to never underestimate any opponent.

Although this is his first match conquering the global underground boxing scene, he is full of confidence in his own strength.

However,

Chen Jie is still very cautious in his heart about this first-round battle, and has not underestimated it.

This opening match of the Global Underground Boxing Championship will absolutely not be that easy to deal with.

The European martial arts circle has experts like clouds! The 'Iron Chariot' Gasbuten from Italy is called the foremost of the Three Swordsmen of the European underground boxing world.

His combat power has almost reached the 'Super King' level.

That's right,

Gasbuten is likewise called one of the Three Swordsmen of the European underground boxing world.

He, like the Japanese top expert Wu Zun, is one of the most top-tier powerhouses of the European underground boxing world.

In terms of fame and strength, Gasbuten is much stronger than the Japanese Wu Zun.

He is the foremost of the Three Swordsmen!

The Japanese Wu Zun was killed on the spot by Chen Jie during their fierce battle.

If Gasbuten's strength were about the same as the Japanese Wu Cang, the organizer would never have let Gasbuten fight.

Since they chose to let Gasbuten fight Chen Jie in the first round opening match.

Then,

It means Gasbuten's strength is quite a bit stronger than the Japanese Wu Zun.

The European martial arts circle's top King-level experts have very strong combat power.

Moreover,

Judging from the development of global martial arts, the European martial arts circle's overall strength is quite a bit stronger than Asia's.

Gasbuten's peak combat power, fame, underground betting top prestige, etc., all belong to the most top-tier powerhouses in the European martial arts circle.

He absolutely possesses the peak combat power to sweep the Asian martial arts world.

Of course,

In terms of Chen Jie's peak combat power and popularity, he naturally isn't much inferior to Gasbuten either.

Moreover, Chen Jie is the one who killed the Japanese Wu Zun, who was on par with Gasbuten.

For anyone to defeat Chen Jie is absolutely not that easy.

Chen Jie just broke through to the 【Grandmaster】 realm, and urgently wants to verify exactly how strong his peak combat power is.

So, he is full of anticipation for the upcoming match.

Wang Hou felt that must-win confidence from Chen Jie, and didn't say much more.

He doesn't understand boxing, nor does he know how to defeat Gasbuten.

Regarding matters on the boxing ring, tactical arrangements and such, he never has any suggestions.

He only knows one thing: blind confidence in Chen Jie.

According to the Global Underground Boxing Championship's arrangement,

The first round consists of qualifying matches, and the match location is arranged in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Europe.

One day later.

Chen Jie boarded a plane, heading for the Netherlands, Europe.

The Qinglong Society's elites had already arrived in Europe one after another several days earlier.

Fatty Wang Hou had also already booked the hotel.

When Chen Jie arrived in the Netherlands, Europe, it was already afternoon.

He rested well for a few hours in the hotel, letting himself recover his condition.

5:30 PM.

Chen Jie, under Wang Hou's arrangement, rode in the security personnel's dedicated bulletproof car to Amsterdam Sports Center.

Although the Netherlands is a developed country, the public security here is relatively not good.

So Wang Hou spent a lot of money to hire several security teams to assist.

Meanwhile, the inner perimeter was guarded by Qinglong Society elites, responsible for protecting Chen Jie's safety.

From the time he left the hotel, Chen Jie's side had always been guaranteed over a hundred people.

Under these circumstances, anyone wanting to harm him would absolutely not find it so easy.

After arriving at Amsterdam Sports Center, he saw the audience was a sea of people, with every seat taken.

The entire venue accommodated tens of thousands of spectators.

It must be said, the influence of global underground boxing is too great.

Of course,

for boxing fans who like watching underground boxing, this is the 'Global Underground Boxing Championship'! And in media promotion,

this is the 'Global No-Weight-Class Ring Championship'! After Chen Jie entered Amsterdam Sports Center,

at this time,

he only then discovered the boxing match atmosphere here was even more intense than in Southeast Asia.

There were many domestic boxing fans who came to the scene to watch.

Although Chen Jie's fame in the domestic martial arts circle was very low, and even in the professional boxing world, he had almost achieved no honors.

He was not the Sanda King, nor had he even obtained the title of Eighteen Arhats of the domestic martial arts circle, let alone 'Heavenly King'! However,

for boxing fans familiar with underground boxing, Chen Jie's name was like thunder in their ears.

Not a few domestic boxing fans came to the scene, holding red flags in their hands, and even several boxing fans held up Chen Jie's posters high, cheering for him.

For the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, the number of domestic boxing fans present was very small.

After Chen Jie saw this scene, for some reason, his inner heart was actually somewhat moved.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to need to bring something to the domestic martial arts circle.

If there was an opportunity, after the Global Underground Boxing Championship ended, see if he could obtain some honors that could be displayed openly in the commercial professional boxing world. You know, underground boxing prize money is very high, but the honors obtained cannot be displayed openly.

Of course,

besides domestic boxing fans at the scene, even many die-hard fans from the Middle East and Southeast Asia came.

Chen Jie's influence in underground boxing was not just Southeast Asia, but the whole of Asia.

Asia Underground Boxing First Person! This title was absolutely not an empty reputation.

Because the 'Global Underground Boxing Championship' adopted no-weight-class, no-rules, no-limits rules. After several months of strong promotion, it attracted boxing fans from all over the world.

So, for this opening match, after the list was confirmed, it attracted the attention of many rich people and consortiums from Asia and Europe.

Generally speaking,

for top-tier tournaments like the Global Underground Boxing Championship, fixed matches almost rarely appear.

Of course,

it is not to say that in such peak showdowns of this level, fixed matches can definitely be eradicated.

Any match, as long as the benefits are too great, will definitely have fixed match situations.

Even some people, in order to get a generous retirement pension, would rather be beaten into disability by their opponent.

Even more boxers, threatened, have to hold back on the ring.

So, fixed match situations are impossible to guard against.

But,

for no-weight-class matches like the 'Global Underground Boxing Championship', fixed match situations have already been reduced to the limit.

This is also why all boxing fans are enthusiastic about betting on boxing.

Because there are no referees and no protection on the ring.

As long as one steps onto the ring, the injury rate and death rate are both very high.

No one dares to fix matches on such a no-weight-class ring, because they really might lose their lives.

The core of fixing matches is benefit, and the premise of this benefit is that the boxer must be alive,

if dead, any benefit will become invalid.

So, the Global Underground Boxing Championship adopts these radical rules, the core purpose being to reduce fixed match situations.

No one would be willing to risk their own life to gamble on an illusory benefit.

And,

it is precisely because of the cruelty of the Global Underground Boxing Championship that the betting volume invested in underground boxing has become more and more.

Especially the most exciting and intense peak showdowns.

The strength of both boxers is evenly matched, which can even arouse the enthusiasm of all boxing fans to place bets.

The betting volume of every match is counted in units of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

The top expert Gasbuten from Italy not only has high popularity in the European underground boxing world, but even in the global underground boxing world, he possesses a not insignificant fame.

Although in terms of strength, he is not the First Strongest of the European martial arts circle.

But,

he has fought in the European underground boxing world for many years.

He even participated in the top-tier great battle of European underground gambling boxing and obtained the championship, with extraordinary achievements.

In the European martial arts circle, Gasbuten has many fans.

His fighting style is extremely fierce, his figure is tall, his fighting style is radical, advocating offense.

Most importantly, his strength is too fierce!

What European and American boxing fans originally revered most was power!

With Gasbuten's explosive power capable of bursting a sandbag with one punch, he naturally held immense attraction for boxing fans.

This fighting style of his was destined to make him the most eye-catching superstar.

Boxing fans worldwide all like boxers with this kind of fierce, aggressive, power-packed fighting style.

Speaking of which, Chen Jie is similarly this style; his fighting is extremely ferocious, decisive, and his attack rhythm is unbelievably fast.

Therefore, Chen Jie possesses countless iron fans in the Asian Martial Arts World.

Even in Southeast Asia and Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and other places, Chen Jie's boxing fans exceed anyone else's.

Chen Jie entered the locker room with a calm face to warm up for the upcoming boxing match.

Although he was full of confidence, he was not arrogantly overconfident.

So, he warmed up step by step, letting his condition rise to the electricity bill.

The odds for this boxing match were very close; the probability of winning or losing was almost even.

For many supporters of Chen Jie, they naturally placed bets supporting him.

And many European and American boxing fans all placed bets one-sidedly supporting Gasbuten.

Every match of the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship arranged a host voice to enhance the boxing match atmosphere.

Under general circumstances,

Any top-tier boxing match would have a host voice responsible for the on-site commentary of the boxing match.

The purpose is very simple: just to pull the atmosphere, let the on-site boxing fans get excited, so the betting funds will keep increasing.

The ticket price for this opening match of the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship was not particularly expensive.

Many local European boxing fans could buy tickets and enter the boxing match venue.

That kind of atmosphere that makes adrenaline surge makes people obsessed.

"Gentlemen, ladies, tonight is the opening match of the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship, destined to be a night full of anticipation."

"Next, let all of us stand up, shout, cheer, let the applause ring out, let us welcome a boxer from Asia!"

"He is known as the First Person of Asian Gambling Boxing, and is also called 'Eastern Dragon' Asian Warrior!"

"In the Global Martial Arts World, his fame is not high, but in the Asian Martial Arts World, he created the most glorious battle record——!"

With the host voice's continuous shouting, the entire boxing match venue's atmosphere was completely detonated.

Chen Jie's fame in the Asian Martial Arts World can indeed be considered thunderous.

However,

This is Amsterdam, Netherlands, Europe.

No one calls him 'Canglong'; instead they all call him 'Eastern Dragon'! Truthfully, many European and American boxing fans have always looked down on Asian boxers with contempt.

What 'Eastern Dragon'!?

Isn't this purely delivering food?

An Asian boxer, what is there to look forward to? Tonight's boxing match, let this Asian boxer properly witness what 'European Power' is! Not a few European boxing fans, after hearing the host's introduction, revealed a thread of disdainful smiles on their faces.

Amidst the deafening music, Chen Jie mounted the octagonal cage boxing ring with a calm face.

Huala——! Inside the Amsterdam Sports Center, many boxing fans supporting Chen Jie stood up at this moment to applaud and shout for Chen Jie.

However,

This is ultimately Europe, the home field of European and American boxers.

Boxing fans supporting Chen Jie, although not few, compared to European and American boxing fans, are completely not the same order of magnitude.

When they heard the host voice's introduction of Chen Jie.

European and American boxing fans did not applaud for Chen Jie, and even began low-voice discussions.

"An Asian boxer, what is there to look forward to? If no accident, it should be able to end the battle within three minutes!"

"No need for three minutes; with Gasbuten's strength, one minute can knock him down."

"This is still the first time I've seen a boxer from China on the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship; I remember before, Japan and Thailand South boxers were not few, but China boxers rarely conquered this most top-level great battle!"

"Haha——Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship, this is a brave person's game; cowards dare not participate."

"Did not expect this China boxer could actually be called the First Person of Asian Gambling Boxing!?"

"He killed Japan's Wu Zun, one of the Europe Underground Boxing Three Swordsmen; his strength is very strong."

"Heard this boxing match, as long as Gasbuten beats the opponent, he can obtain over one hundred million USD in prize money; this is probably the easiest boxing match he's earned in these years, right?"

"Ten million US dollars! I placed a ten million US dollars counter-bet on the boxing match periphery; I believe Gasbuten will definitely win!"

"Gasbuten will, within one minute, cripple this China kid; there will be no accident."

"Asian boxers conquering the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship, probably just want to gild themselves, want to increase their appearance fee only; but he may have forgotten, this boxing match is no-difference, no-rules, no-limit boxing match, easy to be beaten to death!"

"Don't underestimate Chinese people; this guy not only killed Japan's Wu Zun, but also defeated Brazil's 'Wizard' Arnold."

"——"

The boxing match venue's atmosphere reached a white-hot peak at this moment.
