Baltinore Ravens safety and former Notre Dame All-American Tom Zbikowski, improved his professional boxing record to 2-0 on Saturday night in Las Vegas with a first-round knockout.
Minutes after the win it was announced that his next bout will take place on Saturday, March 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on “Featherweight Fury” headlined by Gamboa vs. Solis World Featherweight Championship.
Zbikowski recently increased his boxing training with the chance of the lockout looming resulting in his ring return. The NFL announced on Friday it is closed for business and “Right now, boxing is my number one sport,” Zbikowski said following Saturday’s fight.
Zbikowski (2-0, 2 KOs), 25-years –old from Arlington Heights, IL, entered the ring on Saturday night for the first time since his pro debut on June 10, 2001 - prior to his senior year at Notre Dame - when he knocked out Robert Bell in 49 seconds. His fight on Saturday night against Richard Bryant was stopped at 1:49 of round one. Bryant was floored with a vicious body shot and unable to catch his breath after returning to his feet.
