The punch landed squarely on the side of Tony's chin!
Even Tony, known for his resilience, was momentarily stunned after taking a powerful uppercut from Victor, who was at full weight class!
His steps faltered slightly, creating a small gap in his shoulder defense.
Viktor's beastly instincts were fully unleashed!
He will never let this opportunity slip by!
He charged forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, unleashing a barrage of heavy punches from both hands like a storm!
Straight punch, hook punch, uppercut!
Every punch contains destructive power!
With his amazing willpower and rich experience, Tony subconsciously tightened his fists and fought while retreating, trying to dive down or clinch again to neutralize the attack.
But under Victor's absolute power and continuous attacks, his defense was brutally torn apart!
A heavy left hook pierced through Tony's defense and landed squarely on his head once again!
Tony was knocked out of his balance, his eyes glazed over, and he fell backward.
The referee rushed forward and stopped Viktor, who wanted to continue the chase, and began the count.
"...five, six, seven..."
The entire audience stood up, and the shouts were deafening.
Tony struggled to prop himself up on his left arm, his eyes refocusing, but he was clearly not fully recovered.
"Eight, nine, ten!"
Just as the referee counted to ten, Tony stood up!
He shook his head, signaling to the referee that he could continue.
The game continued, but the situation had clearly changed.
Victor now had the upper hand completely, and every punch he threw was aimed at Tony's injured right side.
Tony could only rely on instinct to defend, fighting and retreating, looking for a chance to catch his breath.
Just then, Victor saw a familiar look in his eyes—not the look of giving up, but the patient look of a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.
"He still has a backup plan."
Victor instantly became alert. Even in this disadvantageous situation, Tony was still planning something.
Sure enough, when Victor closed in again, Tony suddenly abandoned his defense and countered with an unexpected left hook!
The punch landed squarely on Viktor's chin, making him see stars!
But it was to no avail; Victor's bones were tempered.
The two exchanged blows again at close range, their fists raining down on each other.
There are no skills, no strategies, only the most primal contest of wills.
Another punch! Victor delivered a powerful swing that slammed into Tony's right cheek, sending Tony flying.
James Tony, the great champion, struggled to get up, but his body was no longer able to carry out the commands of his brain.
When he counted to eight, he managed to kneel up on one knee, but his eyes still couldn't focus, and he finally shook his head.
The referee waved his hand to stop the game!
Victor Lee technically knocked out legendary technical master James Tony in the fourth round!
Victor did not celebrate excessively. He stepped forward, helped the still swaying Tony up, and gave his opponent the utmost respect.
Tony patted Victor on the shoulder, his eyes filled with complex emotions—regret, but more so, recognition of the young man's strength.
In a post-match interview, Viktor addressed the globally televised cameras:
“James Tony is a respected and great champion with unparalleled technique. But this is the heavyweight division, and power is the ultimate answer!”
He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes becoming extremely aggressive, "And I know that Soviet behemoth, Nikolai Valuyev! I've heard he likes to knock out his opponents?"
Victor flashed his signature, provocative smile: "I've set up a four million dollar bet through Skybet on the first person to knock me out!"
"Nikola, if you dare accept my challenge, then come on! Let me see if your strength is worthy of these four million, worthy of your WBA heavyweight champion title! The bigger the wave, the more expensive the fish! I'll be waiting for you at the top of the heavyweight division!"
The scene erupted instantly! The media frantically recorded everything, and headlines were drafted in a flash:
"Victor Lee offers a million-dollar bounty for a knockout!"
"The new king's insane provocation!"
Will the behemoth Valuyev accept the challenge?
Frankie watched all this from backstage and knew that the plan was already half successful.
Viktor not only won the match brilliantly, but also, with a brilliant performance and a groundbreaking provocation, kicked all the pressure and political maneuvering to the WBA and Nikolai Valuyev.
Now, the world's attention has turned to that giant from the Soviet Union.
Faced with such blatant provocation and the lure of a huge reward, could he possibly refuse?
A storm sweeping the boxing world has been stirred up by Viktor himself!

Brotherly dominance: Together with his younger brother Wladimir Klitschko, they dominated the heavyweight boxing world, creating history as brotherly boxing champions, and jointly ran the K2 promotion company.

"The Klitschko Era": The period in which Wladimir Klitschko Jr. and his brother Vitali Klitschko jointly dominated the heavyweight boxing world for many years is known by many boxing fans as the "Klitschko Era".
Both brothers hold doctoral degrees, hence the nickname "Boxing Doctors".
Chapter 132 Whose Table?
Atlantic City, Trump Plaza Hotel, noon on October 10, 1986.
The flashbulbs in the press conference room illuminated the two people behind the central table, leaving them nowhere to hide.
On one side was Andy Ruiz, nicknamed "Little Fatty," and his team was all smiles, as if they had already reaped the rewards of victory.
On the other side was Victor Lee, expressionless, with eyes as sharp as knives, as if able to pierce through the noise and see straight to the essence.
The signing ceremony for this boxing match was fraught with tension due to the $400 million knockout bet.
The air was filled with the smell of money and lingering old grudges.
Last time, Victor barely managed to knock out the tough James Tony after four rounds of hard fighting, thus maintaining his undefeated record.
