Professional career

Zbik won the interim WBC middleweight title against Italian Domenico Spada on 11 July 2009. ^[1] He was given the full title in January 2011 when the WBC promoted Sergio Martínez to Emeritus champion.

Zbik lost his newly awarded WBC Middleweight Championship against undefeated Mexican Julio César Chávez Jr. at Staples Center Los Angeles, California on 4 June 2011. ^[2]
