A world champion for the second time or defeat and ending the professional boxing career. Only these two scenarios had been a reality for Slovenia's best boxer Dejan Zavec. The 30-year-old Sasha Yengoyan was one of the strongest opponents against whom the 39-year-old Slovenian has ever fought.

Zavec started the fight well, but at the end of the first round his rival fractured Zavec's orbital rim above his right eye. The wound was quite deep and bled a lot, causing "Mr. Sympathikus" quite a lot of trouble in the next rounds. In the fifth round, Yengoyan also received a punch to his face, right above his left eye, and bled until the end of the fight, too.
