Mundine vs Zerafa : Star boxer challenging Dusty to a fight

 Last Wednesday night at the Bankwest Stadium, junior middleweight contender Michael Zerafa confronted unbeaten Australian star Tim Tszyu in the aftermath of his first round blowout of Bowyn Morgan. Zerafa has been out of the ring since last December, when he lost a decision in a dramatic fight with Jeff Horn. The contest was a rematch of their bout which took place just a few months earlier and saw Zerafa knock Horn out. Tszyu, 26-years-old, is now rolling his eyes after it was recently revealed that Zerafa Mundine live fight would face the comebacking Anthony Mundine on a date in March in Bendigo. “This [fight with Bowyn] was a world title eliminator for me. So there’s only two names on the hit list right now. That’s (Brian) Castano and (Patrick) Teixeira,” Tszyu said. “I want top five in the world. My manager has a plan for me. At the end of the day, he [Zerafa] just lost to Jeff Horn and he’s fighting Anthony Mundine. So he’s in his own little bubble.” <a href="http:/

Zerafa said his next fight with Mundine in March 2021 was going to be a different story.

  When   Michael Zerafa   was 14, he wrote to a 31-year-old   Anthony Mundine , promising the league star turned boxer he would beat him one day and end his career. Mundine was at the height of his popularity at the time, with the former world champion setting numerous PPV records in Australia on the way to earning a reported $30 million inside the ring. Yet that didn't stop a teenage Zerafa from sending a message to the star on social media. "He still remembers it," Zerafa tells  Wide World of Sports . Being 17 years Mundine's junior, Zerafa should never have realistically had the chance to turn a childhood dream into reality. Age alone should have been a barrier along with other fights that fell through for the Victorian boxer in 2020. Now he gets the chance to officially end the controversial Australian sporting legend's career for a second time at Bendigo Stadium on March 13 for the World Boxing Association Oceania Middle Title.  Zerafa vs Mundine fight time  

UFC 257 live - Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Dan Hooker

Former UFC double champ,  Conor McGregor  -- the promotion's biggest box office draw -- returns after a year-long hiatus to rematch No. 2-ranked Lightweight contender, Dustin Poirier, in UFC 257's ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, which will take place inside Etihad Arena on "Fight Island" in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. McGregor and Poirier first met at UFC 178 back in Sept. 2014, with "Notorious" scoring a first round technical knockout finish.   The winner of the highly-anticipated showdown will likely earn a crack at the 155-pound belt later in the year.
