    neven pajkic turned down an adamek fight

    I'm canadian & i would have loved to seen that fight. Pajkic is a tough customer & i always said he should be a gatekeeper...

    Pajkic also reveals that Main Events promotions recently offered him the next shot at Polish star Tomasz Adamek in New Jersey, but he turned it down (the spot instead went to Travis Walker).
    “I’d whoop him easy, but I need 10-12 weeks” to get ready instead of four, says Pajkic. “And the money [they offered] was a slap in the face.”
    Pajkic says still wants to fight Adamek, but under the right circumstances.
    “Yeah I’ll whoop him real good — we can make it in Chicago [with] lots of seats and crazy Pollacks,” Pajkic laughs. “And crazier Serbs!”
    In the meantime, Pajkic expects the hard-hitting veteran Walker to give Adamek some trouble.
    “Walker is still dangerous — he’s a puncher, man” says the champ.
    COVERT AFFAIRS IN TORONTO
    On a lighter note, Pajkic tells Boxing Insider that he has been working on the set of the USA network drama Covert Affairs, which stars sultry Piper Perabo as CIA spy Annie Walker.
    “I taught them boxing for the boxing scenes, and I played a ‘Russian cage fighter’” says Pajkic, who had the show’s cast over at his home recently in Toronto when they were shooting scenes in the area.

    Piper Perabo (l) in Covert Affairs
    Pajkic says he was impressed with the “down to earth” personalities of Perabo, producer Steven Kay (“coolest cat ever”) and indeed of the entire cast.
    “I worked on many shows and these are by far coolest people,” says the Canadian champ, whose past screen credits include the films A History of Violence and Against The Ropes.
    THE FUTURE
    Pajkic, a Serbian-Canadian, is now headed back to his homeland for a visit “after ten years.”
    “I miss back home all of the sudden,” he says.
    Then it’s a title bout against Ali Mansour (8-0-0) late this year in Windsor, Ontario.
    After that, aside from Adamek, Pajkic still longs to get another shot at Tyson Fury, who promised him a rematch in the aftermath of their first encounter. And then a shot at world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
