'That Sucks': Tszyu Won't Buy Zerafa 'Can't See' Excuse
- On Friday night, the Nikita Tszyu–Michael Zerafa main event at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre was stopped and ruled a No Contest after Zerafa suffered a cut above his left eye, with referee Chris Condon waving off the bout on the ringside doctor's advice.
- Repeated head clashes, common in southpaw vs orthodox matchups, and an accidental head butt in round two opened the cut after Zerafa's 2021 withdrawal from a Tim Tszyu fight fueled Tszyu family bad blood.
- TV captured Michael Zerafa telling the ringside doctor he couldn't see before officials stopped the contest, but on camera Zerafa later insisted `No, I'm ready to go` and said his vision was blurry.
- Angry spectators hurled beer cans and water bottles as Tim Tszyu confronted Zerafa, with No Limit Boxing boss George Rose apologising and promising to address the matter tomorrow.
- The result could intensify bad blood and push Tszyu toward a US superfight, while Zerafa hinted he may never fight again, marking a notorious moment in Australian boxing history.
