In January this year, Xu defeated former champion Jesus Rojas of Puerto Rico by unanimous decision in Houston of the United States to claim his first ever career title, becoming China's first WBA champion.

After that, he was awarded as the first Chinese "five star" boxer by the BoxRec website.

In May, Xu succeeded in defending his WBA featherweight title in his hometown Fuzhou in China's Jiangxi Province, after defeating challenger Shun Kubo of Japan by technical knockout.

"Maybe it's how the Chinese professional market runs: you need to prove yourself constantly, then the market will eventually admit you, and accept you," Lu said.

The next goal of the China's youngest world professional boxing champion is to fight against IBF featherweight title holder Josh Warrington -- and stamp his name in the books as a Super Champion.
