A 20 year old from Cape Town, Zinman started boxing at the age of 12. He began to take the sport seriously when he was about 15 years old. He says he had ten amateur fights, winning eight of them.
Zinman received his professional boxing license earlier this year. In South Africa, prospective pros must spar in front of the commission before receiving their license. He has since moved to Johannesburg to train at Colin Nathan's Hot Box Gym. Nathan has noticed significant improvement in sparring and urged Boxing 5 head Larry Wainstein to put Zinman on the November 23 show.
"He's very dedicated. He wants to learn," Wainstein said of Zinman in an interview with SA Boxing Talk. "He speaks to all the guys to try and understand boxing. He's a very humble, studious kid. He trains hard and puts it all in."
Short for a featherweigh, Zinman told The JBB, because of his short stature his style is "a combination of Mike Tyson and Marco Antonio Barrera." He describes himself as "an explosive and relentless pressure fighter."
Doron also spent some time over the summer training in England. He hopes to get about five fights under his belt next year and eventually have a fight abroad. But first things first, the young prospect will look to have a strong showing in his debut on November 23.
