Back then, he broke three world records at the collegiate athletic meet, proving his swimming skills were indeed strong.
Everyone was looking forward to his performance at the 2012 London Olympics to see who was stronger between him and Phelps.
After the competition, many media outlets wanted to interview Link, asking about the athletic meet.
But his manager, Ms. Mandy, held a press conference and said, "Link is in closed training, preparing for the upcoming Boxing Championship challenge, and currently has no time for interviews."
The media then remembered that on May 25th, at Madison Square Garden in New York, there was a boxing match, WBA North American Continental Champion Andrea Rael challenging WBA World Champion Link Baker.
Although Link was busy training and had no time to deal with the media, on the day the athletic meet ended, he tweeted 'I'm the One, Number One'.
The tweet received 1.218 million likes and 80,000 comments within 24 hours.
