Zou Shiming, Beijing Olympic Boxing Champion, said, "When I wear headguards and a shirt, the wildness of boxing cannot be expressed thoroughly. I've seen many international professional competitions and I want to play the game like that."
Trying something new, and displaying the wild skill of his sport: that's exactly the reason why 27-year-old Zou Shiming is setting himself a new goal after winning the Beijing Olympics: he wants a career in the professional ranks and win a gold belt, the highest glory a boxer can achieve.
"Winning a gold belt will perfect my boxing life."
And glory is not the only thing Zou will attain. The World Boxing Council president Jose Sulaiman has assured the boxer no less than 2 million dollars to participate in the professional ranks.
