A 20 year old from Cape Town, Zinman is ready for the challenge. He told SA Boxing Talk, "It's my time. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to fight every week, every month, whatever it is. Give me the contract, I'm ready to go."
About his opponent, who is from Gauteng and received his professional boxing license this year, Zinman quipped, "I know his name is Hope Cindi, I just don't think there's any hope for him."
For this fight, Zinman has gotten a lot of good sparring with a variety of fighters. He told The Jewish Boxing Blog his main partner has been boxer and MMA fighter Luke Hendrikz, who will fight in the same tournament. The blond buzzsaw has also worked with Phumelele Cafu, who recently won a super flyweight world title in Japan. Other partners with whom Doron has sparred include talented featherweight prospect Ismaeel Kadri, junior featherweight prospect Lukholo Mabece, veteran flyweight Frank Sotomela, and David Champati.
Zinman's friend and fellow Jewish boxer Joshua Feldman will also fight on the same November 23 bill. Their trainer/manager Colin Nathan, who is also Jewish, notes that this will be the first time two Jews will be featured on a professional boxing card in South Africa since 1948. Around that era, there were quite a few very good Jewish boxers in South Africa.
Doron is confident heading into his debut. "Of course I'm going to win," he told SA Boxing Talk. "There's no doubt about that. But I imagine it's going to be very exciting. I'm going to give everything I have, really put on a show."
Zinman-Cindi is scheduled for four rounds and can be viewed on DAZN and Vision View TV.
Update: Masibulele Mjoli is now Zinman's opponent.
