Extracting skills from movies

As the ring was damaged, the award ceremony was held on the performance stage next to it.

Under the spotlight, Du Sheng became the most dazzling star in the audience.

Looking at Du Sheng holding up the medal and being celebrated noisily by Ma Yaowei, Zhang Haolong and others for the victory, an unreadable look flashed across Tyson's face.

The host noticed this and took the opportunity to ask:

"Mr. Tyson, do you have anything to say to our defending champion or the audience?"

After taking the microphone, Tyson glanced at the media and audience at the scene, then turned to Du Sheng and shook his head slightly.

"This is absolutely ridiculous."

His voice was low and powerful, and seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.

"What do you mean?"

"I say, this is just like my previous farce!"

Although Tyson's voice was not loud, his self-mockery was clearly conveyed:

"This is a show held together by gimmicks, not a real contest!"

Most of the audience were stunned.

Does this mean that Du Sheng was playing a fake game just now?
And you are the award presenter, how can you be so disrespectful to me?
The host didn't expect it to turn out like this and was a little overwhelmed.

Obviously, Tyson's words went beyond the pre-arranged lines, causing an unexpected upheaval.

At this moment, the scene was somewhat dead silent.

Many people began to recall and try to find traces of match-fixing.

However, no matter how much they dig, they don't think it's acting.

Unless Du Sheng offers a huge price, it would be worth it for Frank to risk losing the glory of the heavyweight championship or even suffer lifelong disability.

But is this possible?
"Do you think this game is exciting?"

Tyson glanced at everyone present and pointed at Frank who was receiving emergency treatment under the ring:
"Don't you see how crude his punches are and how slow his steps are?

Is this the strength of a heavyweight champion? This is a disgrace to the fighting world!"

"If you lose a lot of money from gambling, you shouldn't pay it back with your honor. I've had enough of this lesson!"

Tyson seemed to be putting himself in the situation, his tone was a little decadent, and he completely ignored the host's glances.

He turned his gaze to Du Sheng:
"And you! Do you really think you deserve to defeat such a fool?

Remember, lies will be exposed sooner or later! "

Zhang Haolong stepped forward and tried to ease the tense atmosphere:

“Hey, Michael, calm down.

We all respect you as a legend in boxing history and I am also your fan.

But remember, what we are seeing today is MMA competition, which is different from traditional boxing.

Besides, this is my brother's place of honor, please don't interfere here, okay?"

The host was wondering why the control desk didn't shut up. He thought it was because of Tyson's status, so he had to bite the bullet and control the situation.

Don King, the boxing agent, also walked over with a frown.

"Why, you think I'm unqualified to judge this battle?"

Tyson seemed to be irritated. He took a step forward and looked straight at the podium like an enraged bear.

Ma Yaowei would not indulge him, and said coldly:
"Since you have retired, shut your stinky mouth!"

"Boy, you should be glad that I am no longer active in the arena."

Tyson snorted coldly:
"If I continue to fight, whoever dares to talk to me like this, I will make him taste the feeling of being torn to pieces!"

"Times have changed, Michael."

Don King looked at his former favorite general with a hint of pity in his eyes:

"You are getting old too."

boom!
When Tyson heard this, he seemed to be completely ignited with anger, and suddenly reached out and pushed Don King away:

"Shut your fucking mouth, you son of a bitch!
If you hadn't stolen my money, how could I have fallen to this point?"

Security personnel responded quickly and rushed to the ring to separate the two sides.

The reporters at the scene obviously did not expect such a scene and excitedly raised their cameras to capture this unexpected development.

Flashes of light went off one after another.

Even though there were more than a dozen security guards surrounding Tyson, it was still difficult to control him.

After breaking free from a few people, he pointed at Don King and shouted:

"You really think you can get away with supporting an Asian in this dirty way?"

"The intensity of this match is such that anyone with eyes can tell whether it is a fake match or not."

Ma Yaowei stood among the security personnel, with a look of contempt on his face:
"Or does biting someone's ear or head-butting like you did last year not count as match-fixing?"

"Maaaaaaaaah!"

Tyson was touched and roared angrily:

"let me go!"

"I'm going to tear these cowardly bastards to pieces!"

Ma Yaowei responded without showing any weakness:

"When you get old, all you have left is a mouth!"

Tyson's neck turned red with anger, and he turned his anger towards Du Sheng:
“Fuck, you just said you were going to beat me with one hand?
You are a liar in the entertainment industry, and you won the championship by cheating!
What strength do you have? Do you dare to fight with me?

I'll show you what a ring crusher is! Do you dare?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Then, they rubbed their hands excitedly and looked at Du Sheng one after another.

Although they didn't think the previous match was a fake one, they were still looking forward to enjoying this top-level showdown.

In the VIP seats, Taylor looked at Tyson, who was furious on the stage, and whispered to his assistant:
"Is Tyson always like this, or is he high?"

The assistant shrugged and said:
"Often. Otherwise, why would he be called a chimpanzee?"

Taylor was speechless.

This guy really ruined the fun. He ruined such a great occasion.

However, she didn't think Tyson was taking drugs, but rather had other motives.

Because Dana White, the president of UFC, not only did not stop it, but also watched the show with his hands folded and a smile on his face.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue reached a boiling point.

Everyone waited with bated breath, wondering how the story would unfold next.

"Mr. Du Sheng, are you willing to accept Mr. Tyson's challenge?"

A foreign reporter squeezed to the edge of the stage and asked excitedly.

Du Sheng looked at Tyson who seemed angry, and his mind raced, and he had some guesses.

This veteran suddenly did this. Does he really want to fight me?

To be honest, Du Sheng was really a little surprised.

Anyone could tell that what he said before was a joke, so there was no reason for Tyson to take it seriously.

Besides, the other party is almost forty years old.

Logically speaking, this age is already the twilight years for a boxer, not to mention that he has already announced his retirement.

Could it be that Tyson is unwilling to be lonely and plans to make a comeback through this exciting stage?

Or was it financial pressure that forced him to step into the ring again?

In fact, in Tyson's mind, the battle just now really made him confused.

It seems magical that Du Sheng can defeat opponents across multiple levels.

As for why Frank cooperated?

There are probably some shady dealings going on here.

For example, Frank wanted to change jobs, but was backstabbed by someone behind the scenes or was drugged.

And match-fixing shouldn’t be too common.

He fought a few games this year just to pay off his debts.

But despite this, the debt was not paid off.

However, his reputation has been damaged, and it will be difficult for him to attract enough audiences without some gimmicks.

Therefore, it is not a bad idea to choose this special way to find opportunities.

Perhaps in his eyes, this challenge is even a just battle to expose the truth and combat match-fixing. In that case, his popularity and reputation will return.

Tang Jin noticed something, glanced at Du Sheng and signaled him not to be impulsive.

With Du Sheng's current status and wealth, there is no need for him to take the risk of participating in such a competition.

Du Sheng just smiled.

Others said in front of a global audience that some things are not a question of being impulsive or not.

Moreover, UFC organizers will not miss such an eye-catching opportunity.

The on-site staff acted quickly and handed Du Sheng a microphone.

At this point, all the live cameras were focused on him.

His image was also displayed synchronously on the big screen.

There were even countless people watching the game on TV and the Internet, waiting for his response.

Du Sheng is very clear about this.

He knew that if he refused this challenge, both his strength and courage would be questioned.

This is unacceptable to him personally and to the Eastern country he represents.

To some extent, the decision made at this moment does not just represent oneself.

Du Sheng's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Tyson, as a legend in the boxing world, you were also my idol when I was a child.

It's a shame that I didn't get the chance to spar with you during your peak years.

But now that it happens, I am naturally very honored.

It’s just that the specific rules, whether to choose boxing, kickboxing or mixed martial arts, need further discussion.

I hope this competition can transcend hatred, discrimination, bullying and deception and be a pure exchange of skills.

To ensure fairness, I still keep my previous promise and fight with you, Mr. Tyson, with one hand..."

Du Sheng's answer was both polite and confident, fully in line with the humility and wisdom of Eastern culture.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a heated response at the scene.

No one would have thought that they were just there to watch a UFC cross-weight final, but would actually have the honor of witnessing a fight between two top fighters!

The audience exclaimed that the ticket was worth it!

Hearing Du Sheng's promise, Tyson's expression became a little complicated, and he was no longer as irritable as before.

He looked at Du Sheng deeply, then left the stage accompanied by the staff.

After Du Sheng finished his polite remarks and answered reporters' questions, he quietly left with Taylor.

There's no way, the noise we made today is already big enough.

If we don't evacuate quickly, it will be even more difficult to escape later.

"Why did you promise him?"

After leaving the passage, Taylor asked with a hint of worry.

Du Sheng put his arm around her shoulders and answered softly as he walked towards the backstage interview area:
"Do you think you can back down in front of so many people?"

"You already deserve the title. You don't need to participate anymore."

Taylor said with concern:

"Tyson is a violent bear. What if he gets hurt?"

Anyone who had experienced Frank's miserable fate would be terrified.

"Do you think I will lose to him?"

Du Sheng heard the concern in her words, but just smiled.

"I'm just afraid something might happen."

Taylor's words suggest she does have such concerns.

When she was growing up, Tyson was at the height of his fame.

At that time, Tyson was described by the media as a "beast" in the ring for his destructive boxing style and frequent KO records.

Coupled with his intimidating face, Taylor has had an inexplicable fear of Tyson since he was a child.

"There will be no surprises."

Du Sheng smiled and comforted:
"Even if he was still in his prime, he would not be a threat to me."

He was telling the truth.

Unfortunately, even Zhang Haolong, who had always been full of confidence, was a little shaken at this moment.

After all, Tyson has a bad reputation. If he doesn't fight to the death, the outcome will be unknown.

As everyone was talking, Tyson suddenly shouted from the left:
"Hey, Du!"

Ma Yaowei, Zhang Haolong and others immediately became alert and quickly surrounded Du Sheng.

When Taylor saw Tyson appear in front of him, he stood in front of Du Sheng without hesitation and stared at him nervously.

However, Tyson at this time seemed like a completely different person from when he was on stage.

He raised his hands, gestured to Du Sheng in the crowd, and said sorry.

At this moment, he looked decadent and no longer arrogant.

"He said he wasn't looking for trouble, he just wanted to explain a few things."

Taylor understood Tyson's gesture and relayed it to Du Sheng.

Du Sheng nodded to show that he understood, and motioned Zhang Haolong and others to move aside and came to the other party.

"Du, what I said in front of the media just now does not completely represent my thoughts. Can you understand?"

Tyson looked at Du Sheng, apologized, and said sincerely:

“I’m really sorry for what I said earlier.

Actually, I did it purely for the money, and the only thing I was good at was boxing.

But now that I have retired, I can’t find an opponent to compete with, so I took on this challenge.

I didn't tell you in advance, which made me wonder whether I should do this.

You said this has nothing to do with hatred, discrimination, shame, etc., which made me feel very ashamed.

So I wanted to personally thank you for accepting this match, it really is very much appreciated..."

Tyson's words were full of sincerity, in stark contrast to his performance on stage.

Even Taylor was surprised.

It turns out that Tyson is so gentle in private.

After hearing this, Zhang Haolong and others became less alert.

In fact, Du Sheng had guessed something about it before on stage.

At this moment, Tyson was just like those parents who were forced to do things they didn't want to do in order to make a living.

"understandable."

Du Sheng stretched out his hand and shook his, smiling and saying:

"This is just a pure cross-border competition."

"That's right, it's a cross-border competition!"

Tyson responded with a forced smile.

One is the UFC middleweight world champion, and the other is the boxing heavyweight hall of fame champion.

This is indeed a cross-border competition.

Du Sheng once wanted to use Holyfield, De La Hoya, Mayweather and others as stepping stones for a cross-border fight, but he didn't expect it to be realized in this way.

“If it is positioned like this, then I am indeed looking forward to this competition.”

His smile was still gentle:

“We have plenty of time to prepare, at least half a year or more.

I hope we can all go all out and show our strengths without reservation, and I also look forward to seeing your true abilities.”

In other words, Tyson should stop pretending to fight and have a real fight.

"Thank you for your understanding and generosity. You are a respectable opponent."

Tyson sighed and walked over to give Du Sheng a friendly hug.

Du Sheng smiled and patted him on the back, saying:
"Be prepared and look forward to that day."
