“When does Truong Dinh Hoang play?”, “What time is Mr. Hoang fighting” are questions that fans are constantly asking for journalists at the Gymnasium of Bac Ninh Province. The attention of the audience was also shown as soon as the King of Boxing Vietnam entered the stadium according to the organizers' notice.

But in 2009, he suddenly lost in the youth tournament that took place right in his hometown Dak Lak. Recalling about the defeat that year, Hoang said he wanted to quit Boxing. Only the will and ego of a really champion made him continue to play.
At the 27th SEA Games in 2013, Truong Dinh Hoang faced the opportunity to reach the final weight of 75kg male weight. His opponent is Wailin Aung, Myanmar boxer. Hoang played on the basis of 3 rounds, but eventually the victory belonged to Wailin Aung, who then won the gold medal. Wailin Aung is also a player of the host country.
In 2018, Truong Dinh Hoang first stepped onto the professional playground when participating in the Victory 8 event series. The match made him famous as a defeat, “the match of VND 400 million” with Australian boxer Cesar Mateo Tapia. But like previous defeats, after each defeat, Hoang always returned stronger.

Eyes forward

At that time, his eyes always felt as if there were 3 players on the floor. This injury affects a lot of psychology, but Hoang went to see many places where the doctors could not find the cause.
It could not find a way to treat eye diseases, plus the family's story made Hoang decided to take a break for a while. Sometimes, the name Truong Dinh Hoang seemed to have disappeared on the Vietnamese boxing map. But in the end he still came back because he was so passionate about this sport.
