He was born in Amsterdam as the youngest child of Nicolaas Leonard Zegwaard and Hendrika Margaretha Langelaan.[1]
In 1920 he was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the flyweight class. In the first round he won his fight against Frederic Virtue but he lost his next bout to the upcoming bronze medalist William Cuthbertson.
After the Olympic games Zegwaard became professional. In September 1926 he moved to Australia.[1] He returned for a few years to the Netherlands but in 1937 again left for Australia.
