AUGUSTA, GA (February 25, 2010) This Saturday night in Augusta, Georgia, home of the late, legendary soul singer, James Brown, fight fans at the Bell Auditorium will have an opportunity to witness a future star in boxing as former Canadian amateur sensation Mikael Zewski will make his pro debut at TKO Boxing Championship Fight Night.


Guided by award winning manager, Cameron Dunkin, the 20 year old Zewski, a native of Quebec, Canada, leaves the amateur ranks behind towards a pro career that is hotly anticipated.


Said Dunkin, “Mikael is not only a great talent boxing wise, but he has the potential to be one of the biggest attractions in all of boxing. Chet Koerner, the President of TKO Boxing Promotions, Mikael’s promoter, called me from Canada while he was up there and was very excited. He told me how unbelievably popular Mikael is and how he hadn’t seen anything like this for a boxer who wasn’t a world champion.”


“Mikael has a great attitude; he’s a pleasure to be around and to work with. His father and trainer Jean has not only raised a terrific boxer, he’s also raised a respectful young man. He’s extremely popular already and he hasn’t had a pro fight yet.”


Zewski will make his pro debut against South Carolina native Kevin Kibler, 0-0-1, in a four round bout as part of an action packed evening of world class professional boxing headlined by an NABO Flyweight Title bout between Augusta, Georgia’s favorite son Rayonta “THE STINGRAY” Whitfield and San Diego’s Sergio Espinoza.


Zewski’s fight will be broadcast in Canada LIVE on the Super Channel #2 at 9pm.


Also featured on the undercard at TKO Boxing Championship Fight Night are former world title challenger Edner Cherry and outstanding prospects; Melbourne, Florida’s Joseph Elegele, Quebec, Canada’s Pier Olivier Cote, Detroit’s J’Leon Love and Alabama’s Michael Finney.
