(He just posted this interview on his facebook in Slovene. Here are some excerpts I've translated)
"In sports as well as life, sometimes you have to take a step back before you can take two steps forward."
"Throughout your career, facing a slightly lower ranked competitor is normal. It's important to be ready for every match, because one loss can completely change your plans and aspirations. I will never underestimate anyone. I have prepared for Delgado as with any opponent and I will be in top shape. In his case, he will be looking for the knockout. He has nothing to lose and this is all or nothing for him: a breakthrough or the end of his career"
Ï have experience as a fighter, but there will definitely be something to gain from a fight with Delgado. Remember that Delgado is an American and boxes as such, which I have never faced before. It would not be the first time the underdog gave the favorite some problems"
He also states on the event announcement of the fight that a duel with either Shane Mosley or Floyd Mayweather is "of the utmost importance to me. This is the only way to become known in the United States"
I didn't realize Zavec has never faced an American opponent before. Randall Bailey was supposed to be fighting in an IBF eliminator the same day, but there's no announcement on Boxrec and the fight is two weeks out.
