DEJAN ZAVEC

                                        

My hero is Dejan Zavec. Dejan Zavec  is a Slovenian professional boxer who held the IBF Welterweight Champion title from December 2009 until September 3 2011, when he lost it to Andre Berto. He boxes under the name Jan Zaveck. Zavec is the only Slovenian boxer ever to hold a world boxing champion title. Dejan Zavec was born in Ptuj. Since an early age, he developed an interest in boxing. On December 11  2009 Zavec won the IBF welterweight title against South African Isaac Hlatshwayo. On April 9  2010  Zavec defended the IBF Welterweight Title for the first time against Rodolfo Martinez in Ljubljana, performing at the Hala Tivoli. Dejan Zavec is very strong. I think he is a hero beacuse he is modest and a good sportsman.
