Undefeated Welterweight Keith Thurman to Face Former World Champion Jan Zaveck on March 9 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn Live on Hbo World Championship Boxing® UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT KEITH THURMAN TO FACE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION JAN ZAVECK ON MARCH 9 AT BARCLAYS CENTER IN BROOKLYN LIVE ON HBO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® BROOKLYN (February 12) – The co-main event to the Bernard Hopkins vs. Tavoris Cloud IBF Light Heavyweight World Championship on Saturday, March 9 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is set as undefeated Florida knockout artist Keith “One Time” Thurman and former World Champion Jan “Mr. Sympathicus” Zaveck will do battle in a 12-round bout for Zaveck’s WBO Intercontinental Welterweight Championship, which will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing. “I’ve been patiently waiting for my time,” said Thurman. “That time is March 9 and I’m going to go through Zaveck and then get my title shot. This is my year, no question about it and I’m going to let the world know it.” “I miss having a championship belt around my waist and this is the next step to getting it back,” said Zaveck, who held the IBF welterweight title for nearly two years from 2009 to 2011. “Thurman is a talented young fighter, but my experience will be my ticket to victory on March 9. Nobody can stop me on my way back to the world title.” “Keith Thurman is the definition of an exciting fighter,” said Oscar De La Hoya, president of Golden Boy Promotions. “He is on the fast track to a world championship, but first he has to get past a very tough customer in Jan Zaveck on March 9 which will be no easy task.” With a 95 percent knockout ratio, Clearwater, Florida’s Keith “One Time” Thurman (19-0, 18 KO’s) has become a wildly popular fighter over the last few years. A former amateur star with over 100 wins to his name, Thurman turned pro in 2007 and he has been knocking opponents out ever since. The owner of nine first round knockouts, the 24-year-old dispatched all of his foes in 2012 including then-unbeaten Brandon Hoskins, respected contender Orlando Lora, and former World Champion Carlos Quintana. Now he looks forward to imposing his knockout will on Zaveck and setting himself up for a world title shot later in the year. A native of Slovenia, now fighting out of Magdeburg, Germany, 36-year-old Jan Zaveck (32-2, 18 KO’s) has long been a top welterweight, winning several regional titles in Europe before stopping Isaac Hlatshwayo in three rounds in December of 2009 to win the IBF Welterweight World Championship. Zaveck successfully defended his crown three times before losing it to Andre Berto in September of 2011 in a pitched battle, but a March 2012 win over Bethuel Ushona, putting Zaveck right back in title contention. He will stop at nothing to secure a victory on March 9 to earn a shot at becoming a world champion once again. Hopkins vs. Cloud, a 12-round fight for Cloud’s IBF Light Heavyweight World Championship, will take place Saturday, March 9 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Don King Productions and sponsored by Corona, AT&T and Ford. The HBO World Championship Boxing telecast begins at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.

  • Jan Zaveck: First Jackiewicz, and Then the World?
    Jan Zaveck: First Jackiewicz, and Then the World? During a recent HBO broadcast, an onscreen graphic depicted the top welterweights in the world according to the network. One name likely unfamiliar to the American boxing public was that of Jan Zaveck, the reigning IBF Welterweight Champion. The Slovenian-born, Germany- based title holder is currently wrapping up preparations for his second defense of the title he won last December. Opposing him Saturday will be his mandatory challenger and lone career conqueror, Rafal Jackiewicz. A win would go a long way in improving Zaveck’s standing among the 147-pound elite, and perhaps give him the valuable bargaining chip needed to entice one of the big names in the division into the ring. Zaveck (29-1, 17 KOs) of Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany by way of Ptuj, Slovenia burst onto the international scene with his title-winning three-round destruction of Isaac Hlatshwayo in South Africa late last year. Shortly after touching gloves with the champion, Zaveck seemed to hurt Hlatshwayo with the first left hook he landed, and would go on to control entire bout. The two boxed to close the first and open the second, but a right hook that landed high on Hlatshwayo’s temple prompted a delayed knockdown late in the round. Zaveck patiently stalked the South African to begin the third, before landing two more right hooks that again downed the champion. Hlatshwayo made it up on wobbly legs and took a few more shots before falling into the ropes, which prompted referee Kenny Chevalier to end the fight and declare Zaveck the new champion.

  • Q & a with Jan Zaveck
    Q & A with Jan Zaveck When you think of the Worlds top Welterweight’s Jan Zaveck doesn’t spring to mind. However the 34 year old Slovenian who boasts an impressive 30-1(17) career record is the current holder of the IBF championship. He won it late in 2009 in South Africa when he shocked reigning champion Isaac Hlatshwayo, stopping him in three rounds. Since then he has made two successful defence’s in front of adoring home fans stopping Rodolfo Martinez in the twelfth & gaining revenge for his only loss when he outpointed Rafal Jackiewicz. He holds the distinction of becoming the first Slovenian to win a world title. He regularly draws crowds upwards of 10,000, such is his popularity he’s the reigning Slovenian Sportsman of the year. He’ll once again be heavily supported when he faces Paul Delgado who is rated 15 with the IBF on 18 February in his countries capital of Ljubljana. Hello Jan, welcome to 15rounds.com Anson Wainwright – Firstly you have an IBF Welterweight title scheduled for 18 February in your hometown. Any ideas who you may be facing as yet? Jan Zaveck – Yes, this is the American Paul Delgado. Anson Wainwright – It has been rumoured that if you and Randall Bailey win interim fights you will meet over the summer. What are your thoughts on that? Jan Zaveck – It will be a suspenseful fight for sure. If he is the official challenger in this mandatory title defence, I am going to fight him. Anson Wainwright – Can you tell us about your team, who is your manager, trainer & promoter? Also what gym do you regularly train at? Jan Zaveck – When I came to Magdeburg 2003, SES manager Ulf Steinforth believed in me and gave me support, led me to international title fights and finally to the champion title.
