Look's like his dreams of a fight in America on HBO aren't coming true; not yet at least. Zavec announced today that he'll be defending his title Feb. 18 in Ljubljana. A press conference will be held this weekend at which he will announce his opponent, tickets, ect.
I read that Malignaggi is in Miami but I seriously doubt he's been training so soon after his last fight. Due to the disaster that happened last month when Randall Bailey faced Said Ouali, Zavec is without a mandatory either. I wonder who his opponent will be.
I know he's due an optional defense, but he should go ahead and face Bailey. Outside of Malignaggi, none of the American title-holders take him seriously (and I'm not arguing that they should), so he should just keep his head down and keep stacking up the wins and dollars.
