Last year, there was a big blow to Chinese boxing, and in August 2021, Xu Can, then WBA featherweight (57 kg) world boxing champion, was defeated by British boxer Wood TKO in the 12th round, losing the only world champion gold belt in China. Since then, Xu Can has not fought in the ring again, and many martial arts fans are expecting him to have not been able to stage the Second World War. Yesterday, at the media meeting held by the M23 team, it was announced that Xu Can would start the latest game on May 21. He will fight Mexican boxer Benitez in Florida. Benitez is 24 years old and has a professional record of 18 wins and 2 losses, and Benitez is currently in a four-game winning streak. This game is a transitional battle for Xu Can, helping him to find the feeling of the game.
Xu Can also played with Xu Can at the media meeting with the "Chinese Raptors" Meng Fanlong, Meng Fanlong currently has 10 KO wins in 17 games, Meng Fanlong was supposed to challenge the IBF light heavyweight (79 kg) world boxing champion Betbyev in 2020, but for various reasons ultimately failed to play, and since then Meng Fanlong has only played one match, and in October 2021 he decided to defeat Panamanian boxer Davers. Meng Fanlong's opponent this time is the Canadian boxer Pascal, who has won the WBA and WBC World Boxing Championship Gold Belt, although Pascal no longer holds the title of Boxing King, his strength should not be underestimated.
Meng Fanlong
Although Xu Can and Meng Fanlong have played less in the past two years, they are still the leading boxers in Chinese boxing and two four-star boxers in China. At present, Meng Fanlong is training in the United States, and Xu Can is preparing for the battle in China, so only Xu Can attended the media meeting. Xu Can, who is expected to travel to the United States in early May, said in an interview that he is currently feeling in good shape, so he chose to travel to the United States later to lose time.

For the loss of the last game, Xu Can also experienced a very difficult moment. In an interview with Wudi, Xu Can admitted that the opponent's tactics in the last game were very successful, but he played very rigidly and did not complete the tactics arranged by the coach well, so he felt sorry for the efforts of the coaching team and the waiting of the martial fans. At present, Xu Can has also come out of the haze of defeat, and in his own expected mid-term will once again attack the golden belt after winning 2-3 games, of which Xu Can's most wanted opponent is Wood, hoping to fall from where to get up.

Although the current Chinese men's boxing has not been able to hold the world champion's gold belt, whether it is Zhang Zhilei or Xu Can and Meng Fanlong, who will fight, they are all working towards the throne of the top of the world. Although Xu Can lost the laurel in the last game, he did not break it, and I believe that Xu Can, who has re-embarked, will once again hand in the answer sheet that satisfies the martial fans. I wish the two Chinese fierce generals a victorious return.
