TSZYU: ‘THIS TIME It is PERSONAL’
Australian boxing’s final grudge match is now formal with Tim Tszyu to battle Michael Zerafa on Wednesday 7 July at the Newcastle Leisure Centre and stay on Main Occasion.
“This is the last piece of the puzzle,” Tszyu advised me prior to the announcement, “and soon after every thing he’s been expressing and all the disrespect for all these months and a long time, this time it’s private.”
“I explained I’d just take (Dennis) Hogan’s soul. This is a lot more than that. I want to do even a lot more than that.”
Tszyu’s advertising group at No Limit explored bringing former planet champion Danny Garcia and the planet-rated Sergio Garcia to Australia for a important international bout but quarantine and travel limits stood in the way, elevating a domestic showdown that Zerafa thinks Tszyu doesn’t want.
“Tszyu was pressured to just take this battle – he desires almost nothing to do with me! As I confirmed with Jeff Horn I’m pretty, pretty perilous and he knows that,” Zerafa advised me from Melbourne airport en route to Sydney.
“I’m psyched. As opposed to him this is a battle I genuinely do want and I know that appear July 7 I’m going to be knocking about one more golden boy and successful by way of to a planet title shot.”

The battle will be staged in front of a pick out team of invitees and broadcast stay on Fox Sporting activities precisely 3 months prior to Huni is scheduled to facial area Gallen on Main Occasion.
“I hope Paul Gallen accepts the invitation to be ringside for Huni v Tsoye for the reason that in that personal placing, with only a number of VIPs looking at at ringside, he will be capable to see and listen to precisely what he is up versus,” explained promoter Dean Lonergan.
“Justis’ energy is however establishing but he is scarily accurate, brutally quickly and methodical. Gallen will depart the studio in pure fear soon after looking at what he can do.”
Most components have been agreed for Huni v Gallen with the bout to be held on Wednesday sixteen June but Lonergan is in the course of action of finalising a location prior to contracts are signed in coming times.
