Steve Zouski (born August 14, 1954, in Brockton, Massachusetts) is a former American professional heavyweight boxer who fought Mike Tyson in 1986 and George Foreman in 1987.
[3] In 1983 in Chicago, Zouski notably fought all ten rounds with Lee Roy Murphy, who was 18-0 and became IBF Cruiserweight Champion shortly after.
[4] In 1986, Zouski, who had 25 wins (14 KOs) - 9 losses, was scheduled for a ten-round bout with a 19 year old Mike Tyson at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
Tyson had sustained a cut on his ear earlier from a fall at a pigeon coop, and Zouski managed to hit the injured area a few times during the first two rounds.
Zouski opened a cut on Evan's nose in the seventh round, while his left eye nearly closed by the end of the ninth.
[citation needed] Zouski, at 34, took on undefeated Tommy Morrison in June 1989 at the Atlantic City Convention Center, suffering a knockdown in the fourth round and losing by unanimous decision.
