Zou gunning for global fistic glory

A win on Nov 23 will land title shot for mercurial Chinese flyweight

Now that he is the first Chinese boxer to notch a hat-trick in the Top 10 pro rankings, Zou Shiming is one victory away from challenging for a world championship.

Las Vegas-based promoter Top Rank announced this week that the winner of a 12-round World Boxing Organization flyweight eliminator pitting Zou against Thailand's unbeaten Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym on Nov 23 at Macao's Cotai Arena will be declared the mandatory challenger for WBO champion Juan Estrada of Mexico.
