The son of Kostya Tszyu and brother of Tim, Nikita (11-0) is a multi-time Junior National Champion. The 27-year-old has eight wins via knockout.
Zerafa (34-5) is on a three-fight win streak. "Pretty Boy" has 22 wins via knockout. He has feuded with both Nikita and Tim, with the former brother getting a crack at the 33-year-old
The fight is a long time coming. "The Butcher" believes losses against Peter Quillin, Jeff Horn, and Erislandy Lara will play a factor in him mentally and physically dominating Zerafa.
"Michael struggles when put into uncomfortable situations," Tszyu told Fox Sports. "Look at Erislandy Lara, who made him uncomfortable early in their fight. And by simply taking away a few of his tools.
"That moment got the better of him -- and he broke mentally. It’s why I see vulnerabilities there... And that’s why now if you put him into that mindset again, he can’t escape it."
