The last time we saw Tian Ye, his head was wrapped in bandages as he shuffled through a Chinese airport having had his face and legs brutalised by the punches and kicks of Xu Xiaodong.

Well, the 56-year-old kung fu “master” decided he wanted another taste of the action, and was back to take on Chinese taekwondo black belt Zhang Long last weekend.

The fight took place in Karamay in Xinjiang on the same “card” as Xu’s quick demolition of another “master” – this time from wing chun. Tian did not look like he had learned much from the pummelling he took from Xu in January, though.

Zhang toyed with his opponent throughout the fight, landing kicks at will to Tian’s body and face before the referee showed some mercy and called it off in the third round.

The much younger taekwondo practitioner, who is in much better physical shape than his overweight opponent, almost looked bored, as if he is did not need the fight against a man whose name translates as “Wild Fury” seriously.
