Just like last six months ago, Maciej Zegan (42-5-1, 21 KO) didn't have much problem disposing of Araik Sachbazjan (12-15, 5 KO). The Pole scored a unanimous decision in eight rounds.

Zegan, ranked #5 by the WBO, came out strong and after a few straight lefts in the first round, had his rivals eye very swollen. The man from Wroclaw controlled the tempo of the fight, even though he took some unnecessary shots at times when his concentration faltered.  It was a clear victory, but if he's seriously thinking about making waves at lightweight, he ought to come into the ring better prepared than today in Stuttgart.

Experienced Maciej Zegan (41-5-1, 21 KO) won a majority decision over Pierre Franscois Bonicel (17-4-2, 7 KO) in a penultimate fight of Diamond Boxing Night in Katowice. The victory let the Pole win the vacant WBO European Lightweight belt and will certainly help "Boom Boom" to be rated in the list of WBO's top 15 lightweight fighters. The judges scored 115:112 and 114:113 for Zegan and 114:113 for the '84 born Frenchman. Hovever, the verdict looks quite controversially.

The beginning of the contest was very promising for the Polish lightweight who floored Bonicel in the first round by a short right hook. The opening four rounds passed to Zegan's dictation but, starting with the fifth one, "Boom Boom" was moving back and let Bonicel to take the initiative. The French lightweight who was attacking still stronger and stronger and was even close to finish the Pole in the last three minutes. Ultimately, Zegan managed to survive and win the whole clash. It's worth adding that the experienced Pole wouldn't have to feel deceived if the final score looked differently.

The event which Polish fans have been waiting for seven years is close to come true. 33-year-old Matt Zegan (45-5, 21 KO) seeks sweet revenge on Artur Grigorian (38-1, 22 KO) he lost to in controversial circumstances on January 2003. The second fight will probably take place during Diamond Boxing Night scheduled on March 6th in Katowice, Poland. The first meeting of both fighters was a clash for WBO lightweight title in Essen, Germany. The clash finished after 12 rounds of Zegan's solid boxing but the judges established the '67 born Uzbek as the winner.

- I want this revenge to come true. In the past, there was somebody who didn't want this bout and interfered with the organization matters. Klaus Peter Kohl accepted the possible fight as well as Grigorian so certailny we will carry it through – said Zegan who recently rejected, i.a. in order to face Grigorian again, the offer of unbeaten Kevin Mitchell's (30-0, 22 KO) team concerning a bout for WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title - A fight for an inter-continental title is an interesting offer, but the financial issues looked not as good as I would like to. I know the rates of money possible to earn in Great Britain but the profits they offered me are not so enticing so I turned down the proposal.
