After Link achieved 10 wins, 10 KOs, all victories in professional boxing, domestic media heavily covered his matches, especially the news about the WBA Asian Champion fight held in Tokyo, Japan, at the end of October.
In that fight, Link faced off against WBA Asian Middleweight Champion Shinsoji Temple, the number one ranked boxer in the Asian middleweight category and ranked 28th in the world. He had been rated by the media as the top contender among Asian middleweights.
In this match, Link once again used his rear hook punch, defeating his opponent with a KO in just 15 seconds.
When the news reached the domestic audience, even "People's Daily" featured the match in its sports section, dedicating over three thousand words to detail the entire event and including a photo of Link knocking out Shinsoji Temple.
CCTV News Channel also ran a lunchtime news segment, broadcasting the 15-second match between Link and Shinsoji Temple.
