According to Sina, veteran actor Leung Siu-lung revealed the fight between Bruce Lee and Wang Yu. Wang Yu was a famous Hong Kong martial arts actor in the 60s and 70s of the last century. When Wang Yu became famous for his role as “The One-Handed Hero”, Bruce Lee’s reputation was still modest.
However, later thanks to the movie "Fist of Fury 1972", Bruce Lee's name surpassed his senior Wang Yu.
Being outwitted by Bruce Lee, Wang Yu was very unhappy. Later, Wang Yu had the opportunity to meet Bruce Lee in Hong Kong. Leung Siu Long recalled: " In fact, Wang Yu was very strong, very reckless in fighting and extremely fierce, but he did not know martial arts. At first, we did not believe that Wang Yu could defeat Bruce Lee. Later, Wang Yu returned and happily told us that he had defeated Bruce Lee."

Leung continued: "We asked Wang Yu how he defeated Bruce Lee. Wang Yu said that he was in a hotel room at the time when he met Bruce Lee. When the film producer Chou Man-huai introduced the meeting, the two shook hands. Wang Yu squeezed Bruce Lee's hand so hard that Bruce cried out. Wang Yu said: 'Your arm strength is not as strong as mine, how can you fight me?'. Then Chou Man-huai stopped the two from fighting each other."
Leung continued: "Wang Yu affirmed: 'I defeated him, Bruce Lee is not strong enough'. Many people do not know this. In fact, after Bruce Lee became famous, many people challenged him, but Lee did not accept the challenge in most cases."
Although Wang Yu did not know martial arts, he loved swimming and was once a swimming champion. Wang Yu was also very interested in high-intensity sports such as wrestling, horse riding and racing. Wang Yu was also said to be taller than Bruce Lee.
However, many people believe that it is difficult to rely on the handshake between the two to confirm that Wang Yu can defeat Bruce Lee. “Real combat and arm strength competitions are different. Bruce Lee losing to Wang Yu in arm strength does not mean he will lose to Wang Yu in a real fight ,” Sina newspaper affirmed.
“ Because Leung Xiaolong said that Wang Yu did not know martial arts. He only had brute strength and courage. But Bruce Lee knew martial arts. So if the two of them fought, Bruce Lee would most likely win,” Sina concluded.
