Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

After a simple meal at the hotel, which consisted of toast, milk, and roast beef brought from the United States,

He was extremely cautious with his diet before the competition to avoid any issues with food incompatibility. He did not eat any spicy food or indulge in the typical British foods and beverages.

Back in his hotel room, he received a call from Emma asking when he would visit her home.

Link felt somewhat helpless.

After Emma left Miami last year, he had intentionally minimized contact with her.

He had hoped that after more than a year, they could revert to being just friends, perhaps catching up over drinks.

But Emma wanted more than that.

When it was announced in early August that he was coming to London for a boxing competition, Emma continuously messaged him asking when he would arrive in London and suggesting they go on a date.

Link, not being good at rejecting invitations, reluctantly agreed.

Both being popular celebrities, attempting a risk-free date under the scrutiny of the media was as challenging as winning a high-difficulty championship boxing match.

Especially when they would have to deal with the type of entertainment journalists who drove Princess Diana to her fatal accident, increasing the difficulty even more.

For his own safety and career prospects, he thought it best to cancel or postpone.

However, Emma was somewhat willful and insisted on the date, which complicated things.

Thinking it over, Link said, "Emma, many media were aware of our past relationship rumors. Just now at the press conference, a journalist asked about it. They are likely to follow our movements. Being photographed could lead to trouble. How about we talk about it next year? I’ll be in Britain for a concert tour then, and we’ll have more time."

"Next year? That’s too long. Link, I just saw your interview. You mentioned meeting up with me, Daniel, and Robert, right? We could meet at Daniel’s or Robert’s place. They are both in London these days, and I’ll contact them right now,"

Emma said excitedly on the phone.

"Meeting at their place? Is that appropriate?"

Link hesitated, having met ’Harry Potter’ and golden-haired Robert a few times, but they were just casual friends.

Visiting their homes for a date, unless officially dating, would be awkward.

"Don’t worry, I’m very close to them; they wouldn’t dare refuse. Wait for my good news,"

Emma quickly hung up the phone.

Link shrugged, turned off the shower, and went back to his bedroom to rest for a while.

Around five in the afternoon, he took a vehicle provided by the organizers to the Tower Hotel located in the Central District by the Thames Riverside in the City of London.

The hotel wasn’t the most luxurious, but it boasted a great surrounding environment. The views from the windows included the Thames River and London Bridge, and nearby were multiple historical museums, theatres, and bars. It was also close to the O2 Arena on the Greenwich Peninsula.

After settling into the hotel, Eddie Hearn, the general manager of the sports promotion company, and the president of the WBA/WBC boxing associations came to the hotel to discuss the schedule for the upcoming days with him and Franco.

In addition to the competition, there would be several press conferences, an exclusive BBC interview, gatherings for boxing enthusiasts, and charity galas.

These activities would increase his exposure during his time in London and attract more viewers to the boxing event on the day.

The more viewers there were, the higher the PPV shares would be.

When it came to making money, Link was not one to slack off.

Eddie Hearn also informed him that not less than one royal family member would be attending the event. Having royal family members present would make the match even more notable.

"The Royal Family? If I defeat Carl Froch in just a few seconds, wouldn’t that make the royal member lose face?"

Link looked at Eddie Hearn and smiled.

Eddie Hearn, thirty years old this year, is the son of Barry Hearn, the president of the athletic promotion company.

Barry Hearn is also a renowned boxing promoter, having successfully promoted top boxers such as Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, and ’Prince’ Hamed.

Eddie Hearn had been in charge of boxing promotions since 2003, managing first-rate boxers like Carl Froch and Mikey Garcia.

In the future, he would become the most famous boxing promoter in the world, with future British champions like Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua under his management.

He was also the most successful among the second-generation boxing promoters.

Since the other party was doing well in boxing promotion, Link also had plans for long-term cooperation with him.

"Haha, Link, you’re quite the joker. The royal family members are just here to watch the match. They wouldn’t care about that. All you need to do is win the match; don’t worry about anything else."

Eddie Hearn waved his hand and laughed.

"Even better."

Link nodded.

Eddie Hearn gave him a look and chuckled, "Link, are you really confident of defeating Carl within a few seconds?"

"Not sure, but I’ll try to end the match early."

"You really are a fierce guy!"

Eddie Hearn didn’t say anything else and turned to discuss long-term cooperation matters with Franco.

His words also expressed envy toward Franco.

Indeed, it wasn’t just him; every promoter in the circle envied Franco’s good fortune.

Link was not only a skilled fighter but also a top stream singer and a famous athlete.

With the triple boost of these halos, Link’s future appearance fees would only get higher. He might even surpass De La Hoya and Pacquiao and become a cash cow in the boxing world.

In June, after Link successfully defended his WBA world boxing championship title, ’Boxing Arena’ magazine revisited last year’s Golden Gloves Tournament.

Link rose to fame rapidly during the Golden Gloves series. Facing offers from numerous promotional companies, he asked for a hundred million signing bonus and 70% revenue share, which led to ridicule from many industry insiders.

Now, even if it cost three hundred million US dollars and a 90% revenue share was offered, promotional companies would still see a huge profit margin.

Franco and Dynasty Promotions indeed struck a gold mine.

After sending off Eddie Hearn and others, Link went to the fitness center next to the hotel for some light boxing training.

When he left the hotel, he noticed many suspicious-looking people on the street, nearly dozens of them. As he walked toward the fitness center, these people followed at a distance, with some even taking photos with cameras.

His bodyguard, Wallace, told him that based on his many years of experience working as a bodyguard for stars, many of these people were elite paparazzi who were well-equipped and often operated in groups, a bunch of troublesome fellows.

Link nodded, indicating that he understood.

During his training, ’Harry Potter’ Daniel Radcliffe and ’Ginger’ Robert Grint called to ask if he was free tomorrow. They enthusiastically invited him to a gathering at their place to chat.

After thinking it over, Link figured he was free tomorrow afternoon, so he accepted the invitation.
