However, after starting a business, it became something we (the couple) participated in together. But I found that we argued more, and we took less care of our children. After the failure of entrepreneurship, when we met, what we talked about most was how to repay the money and how to arrange funds. I felt that there was much less mutual concern and greetings."

The mighty boxing champion visits the prison late at night? What kind of story is there between him and the female prison guard?

Against the backdrop of changes in family structure and the dissolution of marriage between both parents, the mother took on the heavy responsibility of raising her children alone. This process was undoubtedly filled with various challenges and difficulties, while also fully demonstrating the mother's strong will and tireless spirit. The young Tyson, in that environment permeated with despair and indifference, saw the cruelty of society too early. Friends joined gangs, and he followed the trend, stealing, fighting, and brawling.

From Olympic champion to sports entrepreneur, Zou Shiming's story is like an inspiring movie with ups and downs, as well as a tragicomedy of life that makes people sigh. We all know that he was once a hero on the boxing ring, winning two Olympic gold medals for China with his iron-hard fists, and thus became an idol for countless young people. But who would have thought that this invincible figure on the stage would end up in disgrace in the commercial arena, not only losing all his savings but also accumulating huge debts, and finally even had to sell his property to live a poor life with his family again. What exactly happened? It's really confusing. Honestly, the term "midlife poverty" sounds miserable enough, let alone when it's associated with a former star who was once in the limelight. I'll tell you, the image is heart-wrenching. However, we can't just watch the excitement; we always have to figure out something profound. Why did Zou Shiming fail? Was it a disaster from heaven? Or was it fate that he couldn't avoid this calamity? In fact, there are too many things behind this that can be deeply explored. If we don't delve into it, it shows that we, as onlookers, are too superficial. First, let's talk about his entrepreneurial project - a luxury boxing gym. In many media reports, we see such descriptions: located in the prime location of Shanghai, decorated as luxurious as a five-star hotel, with facilities including a restaurant, SPA, etc... Oh my, doesn't it sound impressive? But…

Four-division world champion, WBA/WBC/WBO super middleweight defending champion, Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez (61 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws, 39 KOs) recently told the media that the match against Crawford (41 wins, 31 KOs) will be very easy! We are not in the same weight class. I didn't want to fight him before because he always likes to run during the game. In his last match against Madrimov (10 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 7 KOs), he ran less! As long as the price is right, I am willing to fight Crawford immediately! Also, there is a reason for boxing to divide weight classes! It must be said that Canelo is becoming more and more like a businessman! The reason why Canelo is now interested in fighting Crawford! I think there are three main reasons! First, he watched the Crawford vs. Madrimov match and felt that Crawford's condition after upgrading was average, which made him more confident of winning Crawford! Second, Canelo currently cannot find suitable opponents, so fighting undefeated champion Crawford is also a good choice! Third: He will meet with the rich Arash next January. Before the meeting, he released some friendly signals to gain the upper hand in the negotiation! Canelo's statement is undoubtedly good news for Crawford! However, my idea remains unchanged. Before fighting Canelo, it would be a good arrangement for Crawford to win a middleweight championship belt! On the one hand, it can help him adapt to the changes in his body after gaining weight, on the other hand, it can give him another chance…

Ran Yingying, the wife of boxer Zou Shiming, has recently come under fire for her comments on Ge Xi, which were seen as condescending and overly instructive. Ran suggested that women should be independent, give up fantasies, tolerate敷衍and deception, and find fulfillment within themselves. Her remarks were interpreted as a response to the marital issues between Ge Xi and Liu Shuang, but they were met with criticism from netizens who felt she was advocating for women to suppress their needs. Ran's comments were not well-received, with many finding them to be preachy and filled with a sense of superiority. Some even went as far as to say that she had "ruined her husband and son," suggesting that her actions had led to the downfall of her family. However, this view is likely an exaggeration, as it oversimplifies the complex factors that can contribute to personal and familial challenges. Zou Shiming, a former Olympic gold medalist in boxing, experienced financial difficulties after his business ventures failed. He invested nearly two billion yuan in a boxing fitness center, which ultimately resulted in significant losses. The couple had to sell multiple properties to cover the costs, and their entrepreneurial journey was much more challenging than their previous careers in sports and media. The failure of Zou's business was attributed by some to Ran's influence, but this is an unfair assessment. Entrepreneurship is inherently risky, and success depends on various factors such as location, cost control, market positioning, industry prospects, and business model. Zou's venture faced several obstacles, including its remote location, high operational…
