When Lou DiBella announced to BoxingScene last month that Andre Berto’s first fight removed from his loss to Victor Ortiz would be a title fight with IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck, most observers penciled the former WBC champ in the win column almost immediately.
Well, half a world away Zaveck was reading and contacted BoxingScene in order to make his case. Compared with many European fighters, he’s far from content to protect his belt against lesser competition for the sake of comfortable paydays. More importantly, he says he’s coming to Biloxi, Miss., on Sept. 3 to win.
In our conversation, the boxer formerly known as Dejan Zavec spoke through translator Jure Doler on a variety of subjects, namely his massive following in his native Slovenia, what he plans to accomplish in his first trip stateside, and his reaction to Team Berto’s comment that he’s a “Winky Wright with no jab.”
