But I am expecting a hard fight as he seems tough.\u201d<\/p>\n Diaz posted a clip to social media last week of himself whacking into a heavy bag before then turning to the camera and, calling Nikita out by name, dragging a thumb across his throat in an unmistakable gesture.<\/p>\n He has also said he is excited to be fighting against one of the famous Tszyu clan \u2013 but he\u2019s not flying all the way from Spain to make up the numbers.<\/p>\n When questioned about Tim Tszyu\u2019s fight with American superstar Errol Spence, he was blunt.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s actually a fight that shouldn\u2019t even happen because they\u2019re both old \u2013 a fight for oldies,\u201d Diaz said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think [Tim Tszyu\u2019s] career is on the way down, not out for boxing anymore.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m coming to defeat Nikita and then I\u2019m coming for Tim.\u201d<\/p>\n WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE<\/p>\n Diaz delivered a brutal warning to Nikita at the press conference, telling him that he\u2019s going to take him out early when they lock horns in Newcastle on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n The cocky Spaniard said that the former steel city will also have to change it\u2019s nickname.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter Wednesday they are going to be calling it Diaz-castle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n When asked for his opinion of Tszyu\u2019s former fights, Diaz was blunt.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve watched all his fights, he\u2019s never taken on a man like me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to take him out early.\u201d<\/p>\n Tszyu smiled when he heard Diaz\u2019s threat.<\/p>\n \u201cI like seeing the belief [in opponents], because you get to see it fade,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIts one of the sweetest things.<\/p>\n \u201cI get to hurt people and do it legally \u2014 a little loophole in my psychopathic desires.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/p>\n Milk-drinking, a brawl… and a G-string?
