Reigning World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Super Welterweight Champion Jan Zaveck, 35-3 (19), has set his sights on the biggest fights possible in his division, and is hoping to land unification bouts with champions from the other major sanctioning bodies.

The Slovenian, who won the WBF world title by dethroning Sasha Yengoyan by unanimous decision this past April, is now enjoying the summer while considering his options, but if he has his way he will return to the ring this autumn against another world champion.

“I have huge respect for all the super welterweight world champions, but I am sure that I could challenge them, offer an exciting fight and come from the bout victorious”, says Zaveck of his fellow Super Welterweight titlists Cornelius Bundrage (IBF), Erislandy Lara (WBA), Demetrius Andrade (WBO), and even Floyd Mayweather (WBC).

“There is no question about me wanting to fight them. I never hide from any opponent, and I went to South Africa to win the IBF (world Welterweight title) and later to the USA to defend it, so risk has never been a concern for me.”

Zaveck captured the IBF Welterweight crown in 2009 by stopping Isaac Hlatshwayo in Johannesburg, and went on to make three successful defenses before losing it to Andre Berto in 2011 when an injury caused by a head-but ended the fight between round five and six.

“I have never been down in my career, and my only real justified defeat was on points against (current WBA World Welterweight Champion) Keith Thurman. I believe I have a place among the elite, I want to add to my legacy and I hope the other world champions will not hide from me.”

Zaveck is hoping to know the name of his next opponent inside a month or so, and if a unification fight is not possible he will be looking to defend his WBF world title against the best available challenger, possibly again in front of a sold-out crowd in Maribor.
