ఒలింపిక్స్ సన్నాహాల్లో భాగంగా చైనా బాక్సింగ్ పైనా కన్నేసింది. 2016 రియో క్రీడల్లో పసిడి పతకం లేకపోవడంపై ఈసారి ఎక్కువ దృష్టి పెడుతోంది. అందుకే అమెరికా స్టార్ బాక్సర్, ఓటమి ఎరుగని వీరుడు ఫ్లాయిడ్ మేవేదర్తో బాక్సర్లకు శిక్షణ ఇప్పిస్తోంది డ్రాగన్ దేశం.

టోక్యో ఒలింపిక్స్- 2020 దగ్గర పడుతున్న వేళ చైనా జోరు పెంచింది. ఆ దేశ బాక్సర్లు బంగారు పతకం తేచ్చేందుకు ప్రత్యేక శిక్షణ తరగతులు నిర్వహిస్తోంది. అందులో భాగంగానే అమెరికా స్టార్ బాక్సర్, ఐదు సార్లు ప్రపంచ ఛాంపియన్ ఫ్లాయిడ్ మేవేదర్ను చైనా బాక్సింగ్ జట్టుకు ప్రత్యేక సలహాదారుడిగా నియమించింది. ఈ విషయాన్ని చైనీస్ బాక్సింగ్ ఫెడరేషన్ వెల్లడించింది.

2004 ఏథెన్స్ ఒలింపిక్స్లో చైనా తరఫున తొలిసారి ఈ క్రీడలో కాంస్య పతకం గెలిచాడు జోషిమ్మింగ్. అతడే 2008, 2012 క్రీడల్లో బంగారు పతకాలు సాధించాడు. అయితే రియోలో ఆ దేశ బాక్సర్లు బాగా నిరాశపరచడం వల్ల టోక్యోలోనైనా మెరుగ్గా రాణించేలా తర్ఫీదు ఇస్తోంది.

2017 ఆగస్ట్లో భీకర పోరులో కానర్ మెక్గ్రెగర్ను ఒడించాడు మేవేదర్. తర్వాత మళ్లీ రింగ్లోకి అడుగుపెట్టలేదు. కెరీర్లో 50 మ్యాచ్లు ఆడి ఒక్క దానిలోనూ ఒడిపోలేదు మేవేదర్. 27 నాకౌట్లు, ఐదు విభాగాల్లో పోటీపడి 5 ప్రపంచ స్థాయి టైటిళ్లు కైవసం చేసుకున్నాడు.

STORYLINE:
Firefighters in Portugal have brought a huge wildfire under control after the blaze raged for four days and injured 39 people.
Civil Protection Agency commander Luis Belo Costa said around 1,000 firefighters were keeping watch over smouldering hotspots in the district of Castelo Branco, amid gusting winds and temperatures close to 40 degrees Celsius.
He said hilly terrain and dense woodland had slowed the emergency response, but cooler nighttime and morning temperatures helped firefighters make progress controlling the blaze.
Local residents of the small villages affected by the blaze however were on Tuesday assessing the damage to their property.
Farmer Fernando Fernandes recounted how he and his wife barely escaped the fire and managed to protect most of his rural warehouse.
With one tractor lost, the 53-year-old said he felt lucky to be alive, but mourned the trees that were lost in the blaze.
The forest is his living and he had been counting and recounting losses since the last big fire that hit the region two years ago, he said.
Another man also described his efforts at trying to tackle the blaze himself, as it spread towards his eucalyptus grove.
"When the fire comes we don't want to lose all of our monthslong hard work so we face it without even thinking of the consequences. Afterwards, when all is well we think 'maybe we shouldn't have done it' but there's no other way," Fernando Goncalves Luis said.
Civil Protection Agency officials said water-dropping aircraft were no longer needed to fight the fire, but 11 bulldozers were used to create firebreaks.
