Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Zewski Could Defend His NABF
Title On March 14
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The president and promoter of the InterBox Group,
Jean Bédard, should confirm soon that Mikael Zewski, a boxer
from Trois-Rivières, Québec, will defend his NABF
welterweight North American championship March 14th at Bell
Centre in Montréal, just before the presentation of the WBA,
WBO and IBF light heavyweight championship of the world
opposing the Russian Sergey Kovalev (26-0-1) and the
Montrealer Jean Pascal (29-2-1). Bédard is expecting to
announced the Zewski’s opponent next week.
Zewski (26-0-0) became NABF 147 pounds champion June 28th
last year, in Omaha, Nebraska, in beating Prince Doku Jr.
(18-6-0), from Ghana, by KO in less than four rounds.
December 13th in Las Vegas, Zewski made a first successful
defence on his North American title, with a win by majority
decision over Jeremy Bryan (17-5-0), from Paterson, New
Jersey. Zewski is actually ranked seventh contender by the
WBO in the welterweight division, and 12th by the WBC.
