Intro:

China's Zou Shiming will square off against Mexico's Eleazar Valenzuela in the Cotai Arena in Macau, China this Saturday. The two fighters held their pre-fight weigh in on Friday

Script:

The greatest amateur boxer in Chinese history Zou Shiming is making his pro debut this weekend .

After winning China's first Olympic boxing gold medal in Beijing and adding another in London last year, Zou has moved into the pro ranks with the backing of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.

Freddy Roach, the mastermind behind Manny Pacquiao and many more world champions, has been hired to shepherd the pro development of an unorthodox, slippery boxer, who baffled his opponents at the last two Olympics.

Zou is attempting a remarkable move for a fighter from a nation that banned boxing until the 1980's.

When Zou takes on Mexico's Eleazar Valenzuela their bout will be broadcast to nearly every home in China, where he's already a celebrity after his pioneering Olympic performances.
