Eubank Jr. vs Benn 2 | Sunday 16 Nov from 4am AEDT \u2013 estimated main event ring walk time 8:45am AEDT | Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will come face to face once again, rekindling their family rivalry in a highly anticipated rematch | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Tszyu legacy on the line’ Zerafa | 00:28<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m Micky Zerafa,\u201d Zerafa had declared, without prompting. \u201cIt\u2019s f***ing Micky Hatton rocking up. I\u2019m taking over.\u201d<\/p>\n Sitting across the table, Tim Tszyu initially appeared shocked by the surprise comments before eventually firing back: \u201cDon\u2019t talk about that fight man. Don\u2019t talk about that.\u201d<\/p>\n Four years on, and Nikita Tszyu certainly hasn\u2019t forgotten.<\/p>\n Initially recalling the incident during Wednesday\u2019s Sydney press conference to announce the fight<\/a>, Nikita said the \u201cdisrespectful\u201d comment is one \u201cI can\u2019t forgive\u201d.<\/p>\n Expanding on why afterwards with Fox Sports Australia, The Butcher recounted his father\u2019s final loss being a \u201cdark\u201d time for the entire family, which included the old man \u201cpissing blood for weeks afterwards\u201d.<\/p>\n Tszyu also surprisingly claimed the sledge \u2013 and his older brother\u2019s furious reaction to it \u2013 as the reason Zerafa would soon after withdraw from their slated Newcastle pay-per-view event.<\/p>\n Asked if he remembered the moment he first heard the sledge, Nikita replied: \u201cI was on my computer, deep into [university] studies, when the clip came up. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd my first thought? What a f***ing piece of s***.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause that fight of my father\u2019s, it was a dark moment in our family history. A time that wasn\u2019t easy on any of us.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, boxing is a f***ed sport.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd for us growing up within that sport, we\u2019ve seen all the trials and tribulations, all the pain.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd what my dad had to go through in that fight, it was one of the hardest things to watch. I remember he was pissing blood for weeks afterwards.<\/p>\n \u201cSo to take a shot at that? To use it as a way of insulting our family?<\/p>\n \u201cIt shows the type of character you are.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n \u2018SLEPT ON THE COUCH\u2019: Zerafa says he cancelled wedding plans for Tszyu grudge match<\/a><\/p>\n ‘The sport needs him’ Zerafa on Tszyu | 00:40<\/p>\n In fact, Tszyu believes that sledge, and the response from his older brother, is why Zerafa chose to walk away from their impending headliner — in what he has previously dubbed a \u201ccoward\u201d move.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd, look, I could be wrong with this,\u201d the 27-year-old continues. \u201cBut straight after that Micky Hatton comment was made, you can see my brother\u2019s focus switches.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can see it, visibly.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you watch Michael too, you can see he also suddenly looks like \u2018oh, I\u2019ve f***ed up here, I shouldn\u2019t have said that\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think that played into why [he withdrew from the fight].<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, I could be wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think that while Michael was initially confident about fighting Tim, once he brought that personal matter into it, once he saw my brother\u2019s reaction to it all, he knew it had given Tim a whole new drive.\u201d<\/p>\n “Gotta risk it” – Tszyu on Zerafa clash | 03:12<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/content.foxsports.com.au\/fs\/electrode\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
