China's two-time Olympic champion Zou Shiming will take on a young Hungarian boxer¹ on Saturday at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

 

中国两届奥运冠军邹市明将于本周六在纽约麦迪逊广场花园挑战一位年轻的匈牙利拳击手。

 

Zou, 35, will make his debut² in the United States to compete against 19-year-old Jozsef Ajtai in a 10-round flyweight bout³, which will probably provide a good opportunity for Zou to refresh him and accumulate experience in persuit of the world title.

 

According to Top Rank, a company that had signed Zou to a contract to fight under its banner, a victory in the US will help him get the qualification to challenge for a world title later in Autumn.

 

The 110-pound Chinese pugilist will enter the upcoming fight with a 7-1 record that included two knockouts. He had knocked out South American champion Natan Santana Coutinho to clinch⁴ the WBO International flyweight title in January.

 

Ajtai had a 15-2 record that included 10 knockouts and had won five of his last six fights.

 

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zou was titled in the junior flyweight event and he retained the gold four years later at the London Games.
