Preview of Yan Zak vs. Sadiki Maroy

Preview of Yan Zak vs. Sadiki Maroy
Cruiserweight prospect Yan Zak faces veteran Sadiki Maroy on Saturday at the Westin Hotel Ballroom in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Zak is coming off a win of the Israeli amateur title last weekend.

Zak is a 26 year old based in Ashdod, Israel. He has been very impressive in his first five pro bouts, scoring three KOs against veteran foes. The “Terminator” turned pro last May and has been active since. This will be his third fight in Dubai.

Maroy is a 37 year old from Lumbumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He boasts a sterling record of 17-2-1 with 8 KOs. Maroy has a better record than any of Zak’s other opponents, but he isn’t as skilled. Nicknamed “The Buffalo,” Maroy is hard puncher and isn’t coming up in weight like a couple of Zak’s other opponents.

Maroy turned pro in 2007, but took a six and half year break before coming back last summer. This will be his first fight outside of Africa. He has mostly fought in his home country, but did venture to Ghana and Nigeria for fights. Sadiki has a good left hook and a powerful overhand hard. Zak’s speed and straight punches should prove too much for the veteran.

Zak-Maroy is scheduled for six rounds according to BoxRec.
