Andre Berto vs Jan Zaveck set for Sept 1st

Quote :: Welterweight titlist Jan Zaveck's defense against former titleholder Andre Berto (27-1, 21 KOs), scheduled for Sept. 3 on HBO, will take place at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss., promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. Berto, who lost his title to Victor Ortiz by decision April 16 in a fight of the year candidate, has fought at the Beau Rivage once before. He defended his belt there in a 2009 slugfest against former titlist Luis Collazo. Zaveck (31-1, 18 KOs), of Slovenia, will be fighting in the United States for the first time and will be making his fourth defense. He can't wait to perform in America. "Honestly, I have been waiting for this opportunity all my life. This is going to be the beginning of my global career," Zaveck said. "This is going to be my first break overseas, but definitely not the last. We have done a lot of work to come this far. This is a dream fight for me. [Berto] is a great fighter, but far from being invincible. I am going to the USA to win the fight, not to watch it."

Could be a dangerous fight for Berto.
