On the other side, after Zheng Jie left the club, she immediately contacted the other three.
She first contacted Yan Zhi, she cooperated with Yan Zhi in the women's doubles and won the Wimbledon and Australian Open championships in 06, and they have a good relationship.
When Yan Zhi heard that Zheng Jie had met Li Ba, he asked happily, "Then did he say when to get together?"
"This, he doesn't seem to mention it." Zheng Jie said.
"No?" Yan Zhi was a little disappointed.
"Then shall we take the initiative to invite him to a gathering?" Zheng Jie asked.
Before Yan Zhi could answer, Zhang Yu immediately stopped him and said, "What is his identity? He is No.1 in the basketball world, he is also the heavyweight world champion in professional boxing, and his status in the sports world is higher than that of Federer. If you say invite, invite him." ?”
Zheng Jie and Yan Zhi on the other end of the phone were stunned and didn't speak.
Zhang Yu said again: "Wait, he doesn't take the initiative to ask you out, and you have a normal relationship with him, so don't take the initiative to ask him out, it will be embarrassing if you are rejected."
"OK then."
On the morning of the 25th, Li Ba was training at the club when he received a call from Lewis.
Lewis is the former world heavyweight boxing champion and has a good relationship with Li Ba. This time, I want to ask him to meet and bring two juniors from the boxing world to show him.
Li Ba first got to know the situation on the phone. Two young guys, one is Anthony Joshua, 19 years old, and the other is Tyson Fury, 20 years old. Qin Ke's partner, but after Xiao Ke was blown away by Li Ba, he has now become Dake's partner, and his strength is good.
These two young men came to meet Li Ba specially after his agent asked Lewis to learn fly-catching training from Li Ba. This year Li Ba will participate in Wimbledon, so there is no time for that training camp, and they have no chance to learn.
Joshua's brokerage promoter is Eddie Hearn, one of the most famous boxing promoters in the world. He met Li Ba in Las Vegas before, but the relationship was mediocre and there was no cooperative relationship. Lewis face.
As for Tyson Fury, he is Arum's boxer. The relationship between Arum and Li Ba has remained very good, but it was only brought over by Lewis.
"I train in the club, you take them here first, the specific training will be carried out after Wimbledon." Li Ba said.
"OK, then we'll be here now." Lewis laughed.
After an hour or so, Lewis stood in front of Li Ba with two big men.
"Hammer, hello!"
After Li Ba and Lewis embraced, the two young people said respectfully.
Lewis introduced: "Joshua is a rising star of our British heavyweight, 198 centimeters, the next London Olympics plans to participate in competitions above 91 kilograms, and then turn professional. Tyson Fury is 206 centimeters, as tall as you."
Li Ba looked at the two of them, and said in surprise, "Are giant boxers popular in heavyweight boxing now?"
Lewis said with a smile: "Isn't it because you beat the big and small grams? They are tall and long, and both of them are valued by the boxing world now. By the way, are you really not going to fight?"
Li Ba laughed and said, "My fists are too hard, and I don't want to kill anyone in the ring. Xiao Ke and Tyson are really lucky that I didn't kill them."
Lewis smiled wryly, and the two young men also looked shocked and admired.
After the qualifying round on the 26th, Li Ba also stopped his formal training and entered the final physical adjustment before the competition. On the 27th, he will rest for a day to prepare for the first round of competition.
With the completion of the qualifying round, all the 128 players in the main match were released, and all the 4 players in the 4/32 division of the second half also came out.
Li Ba returned to the hotel, took a shower, and after sitting at the dining table, Zhang Depei's wife Liu Baoan said: "Tie Hammer, your luck is not bad. The opponent in the first round is Montanes, the 32nd seed of Wimbledon this year. A Spaniard."
Li Ba thought for a while, but didn't recognize him, and asked, "How is his strength?"
Liu Baoan took the collected information and said: "This year is the tenth year he has been in the profession. He is 29 years old, 175 cm, 70 kg. He holds the racket with his right hand and backhands with both hands. He has 5 singles championship titles and 2 doubles championships in his hand. Title, but not a Grand Slam, career record is 171 wins and 187 losses, this year's record is 28 wins and 17 losses, this year's state is good. His singles world highest ranking is 22nd, currently is 23rd."
Li Ba nodded and said, "The food in Britain is too bad. We have time tomorrow, so we can find an authentic Chinese restaurant."
"Okay!"
Ya Tou and Gao Yuanyuan immediately agreed, they were already tired of the dried fish here.
Gao Yuanyuan said at this time: "CCTV has a live broadcast of Wimbledon, and they want to invite you to do an interview. You can prepare after dinner."
"Okay." Li Ba said.
"Tug, why don't you invite Zheng Jie and a few people to get together?" Gao Yuanyuan suddenly asked again.
Li Ba was startled, and said: "We are not close friends, we have never been in touch, why should we get together?"
"You are an absolute benchmark in the Chinese sports world, and you are the top figure in the Chinese sports world in the world. Is it normal for you to come forward to get together at Wimbledon? I guess they might all be waiting for you to come out and get together. I’m not afraid of affecting your training, I planned to talk about this on the first day, it’s not good if you don’t come out and organize it.”
Gao Yuanyuan asked.
The girl said at this time: "Husband, friends have been asking you out these few days, but they have all rejected them. If you have time tomorrow, why don't we open a PT and meet up together?"
"That's fine, let's arrange it." Li Ba was right after thinking about it.
Although this is not the United States, he still has many friends here, from the entertainment and sports circles, and many from the UK.
"There is no one and the time is too tight. How to arrange it? Let the hotel arrange it?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
Li Ba thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Lewis.
"Lennox, please find Anthony Joshua's agent for me. I'm going to open a PT tomorrow, and I want to ask him for help."
After the phone call, he said directly.
"Oh, it's a small matter. It's very simple for Eddie Hearn. I'll notify him immediately." Lewis laughed.
Soon, Eddie Hearn's call reached Li Ba's cell phone.
"Hi, I'm Hammer, is this Mr. Hearn?"
"Hey Hammer, hello, I'm Eddie, Eddie Hearn, I'm glad you are willing to help Anthony, you can just call me Eddie."
Eddie Hearn said enthusiastically.
"Hi, Eddie, did Lennox tell you?" Li Ba smiled.
"Yes, this is just a small matter, I will arrange it right away." Eddie Hearn laughed.
"OK, I'll give you the necessary expenses tomorrow." Li Ba smiled.
"NONO, Hammer, this is just a trivial matter, just treat it as Anthony's training fee with you." Eddie Hearn laughed.
He definitely won't ask for this little money. In case Li Ba returns to the boxing world in the future, he will get everything back as long as he gets one match.
The two chatted for a few more words, and ended the phone call after making some appointments.
