Xiong Haojie narrowed his eyes hearing Samat Bashenov"s words.When Tang Yan heard this, he also had some doubts. However, when he saw that the staff members weren"t too far away, he immediately knew the reason for this.
"Fine then! Come let"s go a few rounds I"m not afraid of you!" Xiong Haojie said.
At this time, Tang Yan took a step forward and stopped the hero. He said, "Don"t bother with him, he"s just trying to bait you."
"Humph, I"ll like to see what he can do." Xiong Haojie said in a low voice.
In boxing, fighting across weight cla.s.ses was very difficult, especially a lower-weight boxer challenging a higher weight boxer, although lightweight boxers were faster than their counterparts in a fight they would be crushed in terms of power. They would only need one clean punch to put them down.
Tang Yan saw the anger in his eyes, shook his head and said straightforwardly: "You can"t beat him."
Tang Yan was very straightforward by nature. Xiong Haojie was only 52 kg, and he may have a chance against 56kg opponents but against someone like Samat Bashenov who was a veteran boxer, two weight cla.s.ses above him and the defending champion of the last compet.i.tion, that was just looking to get beaten.
"Come on then are you gonna fight or not? Who is coming up, my fist is already itching!" Samat Bashenov shouted at them.
"What are you doing!" At this moment, one of the staff members of the organizing committee came over and shouted.
"Nothing, we just decided to have a friendly sparring session". Samat Bashenov responded.
"You can ask them if you want?" he added seeing the staff member looking at him with suspicion, he then cast a provocative gaze at Tang Yan and Xiong Haojie.
The meaning was obvious.
They had two options now, to either tell on them to the organizing committee or go along with his lie and agree to his fight.
The two Pakistani boxers saw this scene and sighed with relief. It seemed like they were about to speak up.
As long as things were made clear, the fault would naturally fall on Samat Bashenov and his group.
But Xiong Haojie began to speak before they could: "We are just sparr....."
"They are trying to s.n.a.t.c.h this ring from them." Tang Yan interrupted Xiong Haojie and said serenely.
When his words came out, the two Pakistani boxers heaved a sigh of relief and many of the boxers on the sidelines secretly cheered for Tang Yan.
With this the staff member turned and glared at Samat Bashenov and his group.
"Didn"t I already tell you there are no more rings, you actually dared to go around trying to s.n.a.t.c.h other people"s rings.
You lot are from the Kazakhstan team right, humph I"ll give you a minute to pack up and leave. You might have got away with this last time but not this time I"ll be reporting this to your coaches and the committee."
"I....we weren"t s.n.a.t.c.hing anything, we were just asking if we could switch as we have more people and need to train." Samat Bashenov said trying to weasel his way out.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"So why did you surround them and keep pressuring them when they clearly refused multiple times. Tang Yan timely interjected.
"What..we didn"t pressure anyone, we were just making sure there was no way we could persuade them into switching. There"s a lot of us but we didn"t surround anyone."
"Bullsh*t we all saw and heard you, surround and threaten them to give over the area." Xiong Haojie retorted in anger.
"F*ck off, stop trying to frame us, we didn"t do...."
"Okay okay, that"s enough from both of you, like I said earlier you lot need to pack up and leave....
"But we didn"t do anything, why do we have to leave."
"Well I beg to differ but either way there"s no s.p.a.ce here and since you"re not training you need to leave because your disturbing others. You can argue your innocence at a later date but as a kind reminder there are cameras in here so I wouldn"t try it.
The staff member said while pointing to the exit.
Samat Bashenov glared at Tang Yan and then with a snort of anger he said:
"Fine, we are out of here."
With that they strode out but not before remembering to cast loathing glares at Tang Yan.
The two Pakistani boxers were full of thanks at this time, and they thanked them constantly.
Xiong Haojie having calmed down from his hot headedness smiled warily at Tang Yan.
The two resumed training for a while longer before eventually heading back to camp.

The next day Tang Yan ushered in his opponent for the quarter-finals, Park Sang-jun.
