American superstar Rolly Romero has asked Tim Tszyu for the \u201cleftovers\u201d of Errol Spence Jnr \u2013 and on the same crazy broadcast where Nikita Tszyu knocked down a Newcastle Knights mascot and completed padwork with Steve \u2018Blocker\u2019 Roach.<\/p>\n

In a huge Sunday for Australian fight fans, Tim Tszyu has had his July blockbuster against Spence made official in Las Vegas, while Nikita starred at a typically unconventional open workout session in Newcastle to promote this Wednesday night\u2019s headliner against Oscar Diaz.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Given the event is taking place at Newcastle Entertainment Centre, promoters No Limit kicked off fight week festivities outside McDonald Jones Stadium \u2013 and only hours before the Knights played South Sydney.<\/p>\n

As part of his appearance, Tszyu first did some light work with trainer Igor Goloubev, before then adding in some impromptu padwork with Kangaroos great Roach, who was already at the stadium as part of the Fox Sports NRL commentary team.<\/p>\n

And then in signature Nikita style, \u2018The Butcher\u2019 also did some playful sparring with the Knights mascot who had entered the ring — with a right jab sending him, somewhat theatrically, sprawling to the canvas.<\/p>\n

All of which formed part of a crazy morning that also saw two undercard fighters \u2013 including Australian light heavyweight prospect Kirra Ruston \u2013 involved in a car accident on the way to the venue.<\/p>\n

During a live broadcast for the Newcastle open workouts, Main Event host Megan Barnard also crossed live to Tim Tszyu in the United States, where he had only hours early completed a fiery press conference with Spence<\/a> to announce their impending Australian headliner.<\/p>\n

Amid the interview, Tszyu was asked about all the shock news over the past 48 hours of him fighting at a 158 pound catchweight when you could hear the fighter say \u201cI\u2019m on a Fox interview \u2026 wait, what\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then when he came back up into shot, Romero was alongside him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fight\u2019s at 158?\u201d Romero then asked Tszyu, genuinely surprised before adding, \u201cI get the leftovers?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, brother,\u201d Tszyu cackled in reply. <\/p>\n

What’s going on between Tim & Nikita? | 01:04<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tszyu was also asked how it felt to finally have everything signed off?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool, isn\u2019t it?\u201d he grinned. \u201cIt sort\u2019ve kicked in last week when I was driving. I was like \u2018man, I\u2019m going to be fighting Errol Spence, at home\u2019. It\u2019s insane.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now it\u2019s more of a reality, having seen him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t like each other. That comes from both sides. And I can\u2019t wait to get in there and crack on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tszyu then opened up on the obvious hostility between the pair at Sunday\u2019s press conference, which saw the Aussie brand his rival a \u201cdisrespectful f***\u201d after Spence, first, refused to shake his hand. The American also took a dig at Tszyu, suggesting he was nothing like his father.<\/p>\n

So as for Tszyu\u2019s not-so-subtle response?<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made it that way,\u201d he said of Spence. \u201cI\u2019m a respectful guy. But when you go up to someone and they fully reject you \u2026 I see how it is, we\u2019re not friends and that\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s keep that energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I\u2019m going to keep it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to crack each other in the head and it\u2019s a little more personal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interviewed in the ring by Main Event\u2019s Ben Damon after his own chaotic appearance, Nikita laughed: \u201cI had a bit of energy to push out\u201d.<\/p>\n

And as for his rival, who also completed a brief workout, and briefer interview?<\/p>\n

\u201cI know he\u2019s coming to fight,\u201d Tszyu said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re going to put on a spectacle. He\u2019s got a dog in him and we\u2019re going to put on something special.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen the way he fights. And I know he won\u2019t want to take backward steps. That\u2019s the recipe for a great night<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m going to bring a style that puts people on edge. Get them up out of their seats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Ruston also revealed how he and super middleweight Jack Bowen had been involved in a car accident on the way to the stadium.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, Ruston fights undefeated Turk Berkay Varol, while Bowen faces Wollongong\u2019s Tonga Tongotongo.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlight delay, we had a little car crash on the way in,\u201d he laughed of the incident, which occurred shortly after the pair arrived at Newcastle airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got a little tap on the back.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re OK. Got a little jolt but as I say, we get punched in the head for a living so we should be used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American superstar Rolly Romero has asked Tim Tszyu for the \u201cleftovers\u201d of Errol Spence Jnr \u2013 and on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-651435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
