(Detroit, MI)..Unbeaten crusierweight Steve Bujaj, (12-0-1, 9 KO's); of Tuckahoe, NY, returns to the ring , for the first time since suffering a broken jaw, when he meets veteran Zack Page (21-44-2); of Warren, Ohio in an 8 round main event at Detroit's Masonic Temple on Saturday  November 8.

Bujaj, a former two-time New York golden gloves champion, holds both the NYS and USWBC crusierweight titles. In his last bout he battled to a 10 round draw with unbeaten Junior Wright (10-0-1); of Chicago in what many are calling the, 'Fight of the Year". Bujaj suffered a broken jaw in the third round of that contest but courageously battled on to pull out a draw - nearly knocking out his foe in the ninth round. 

Bujaj, who came here as an infant from his native Albania, is relying on the large Albanian community around the Motor City area to give him support.

 

'I want the Albanian people to have an athlete they can rally around and be proud of', said Bujaj, "I feel Detroit can be a second home to me and I want to be an inspiration for my ethnic base". 

In Zack Page, Bujaj will be boxing , by far, his most experienced opponent yet.

A veteran of nearly seventy bouts, Page has had a remarkable career. The Bujaj bout will mark the 25th time he has met an undefeated boxer in his career.

 

Page has boxed three world champions and has met top heavyweight contenders Kubrat Pulev, Tyson Fury and Mike Perez and gone the limit with all of them.

 

'I fear no man and will fight anyone", said Page. He certainly won't let himself be intimidated by a boxer with only 13 bouts."
