Michael Zerafa and Tim Tszyu might have been rivals in the past – but they are putting it all aside to put Australia on the map on a global stage.
Speaking at the press conference earlier this week, Zerafa claimed the pair would bring home all the gold from Las Vegas, as he prepares for a WBA middleweight title bout and Tszyu looks to defend his WBO super welterweight crown.
“Saturday night ends with me as the new WBA world champion – mark my words,” a confident Zerafa told media on Friday.
“Hopefully we’re coming back to Australia with three world titles, one for myself and two for Tim. Now it’s time to do it. I’ve been ready for this fight for so long.
“This is a huge night for Australia. We’re putting a small country on the big map and we’re taking over starting Saturday night.”
