Slovenia's top professional boxer Dejan Zavec is on the way to South Africa. He has been picked by reigning IBF welterweight champion Isaac Hlatshwayo of South Africa as the one to challenge him in Johannesburg on 11 December this year.
Zavec labelled his first world title opportunity as an historic moment and most important match of his career.

"Preparations are going very well. I'm satisfied with training sessions so far," said Slovenian fighter, who has participated in 29 career matches, of which 27 ended with the victory (15 KO) and only one with defeat. He also said, that he wants to return as a World Champion.

Isaac Hlatshwayo (29 wins, 10 with KO, 1 defeat, 1 drawn)  from South Africa, known as »The Angel«, won his title 4 months ago against Delvin Rodriguez (Dominican Republic) and this will be his first defence of a title.
