Zaveck Injured, Withdraws From Abraham-Stieglitz Bill

By Per Ake Persson

WBO I/C welterweight champ and former IBF king Jan Zaveck has suffered a shoulder and elbow injury in training and his fight, set for August 25 in Berlin against Sherzodbek Alimanjov, is cancelled.
 
Zaveck vs Alimanjov was on the undercard to Robert Stieglitz against Arthur Abraham at the O2 Arena on a SES and Sauerland co-promotion.
 
Zaveck must now undergo surgery. No word on when he is expected back.
