The fight between Nikita Tszyu and Michael Zerafa was declared invalid
The fight between Australian boxer Nikita Tszyu and his compatriot Michael Zerafa was declared invalid due to Zerafa’s injury.
The fight for the WBO International middleweight belt took place in Brisbane (Australia). The fight was stopped in the second round by the ring doctor due to a cut near Zerafa’s eye, which he received as a result of an accidental clash of heads. According to the media, the audience greeted the decision to interrupt the fight with a disapproving roar.
Tszyu is 27 years old; in the professional ring he previously won 11 victories in 11 fights (9 by knockout). The 33-year-old Zerafa has 34 victories, five defeats and one declared void fight (against Tszyu).
Nikita Tszyu is the son of former absolute world welterweight champion Konstantin Tszyu.
