Tszyu vs Zerafa Ends in Chaos as Doctor Stops Grudge Fight Cold
Good evening and what a dramatic and frustrating night it was inside the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, where one of Australia’s most anticipated boxing grudge matches ended not with a knockout, but with boos, anger and disbelief.
Nikita Tszyu and Michael Zerafa finally met in the ring after years of tension between the Zerafa camp and the famous Tszyu boxing family. Fans packed the arena expecting fireworks. What they got instead was controversy.
The fight itself was just starting to heat up. The opening rounds were scrappy and intense, with both fighters trading shots and trying to impose their style. Then everything changed in the second round. An accidental head clash opened a nasty cut above Zerafa’s left eye. Blood began to flow and moments later, the ringside doctor stepped in.
After a brief check, the advice was clear. Zerafa’s vision was compromised. The referee had no choice but to wave it off early in the third round. Under boxing rules, if a fighter cannot see clearly, the bout must be stopped. The official result was ruled a no contest.

That decision sent the crowd into meltdown. Boos rained down. Objects were thrown toward the ring. Fans felt robbed after months of hype and years of bad blood.
Inside the ring, emotions boiled over. Tszyu was furious and openly accused Zerafa of quitting, saying the moment things got uncomfortable, his rival was looking for a way out. Zerafa pushed back hard, insisting it was not his decision and that he was ready to continue despite the blurred vision. He later showed his stitched-up eye on social media, trying to explain his side of the story.
This fight was supposed to settle a rivalry once and for all. Instead, it has only poured fuel on the fire. Questions are now swirling. Do these two meet again? Can fans trust that another buildup won’t end the same way? And does this result stall Tszyu’s momentum at a crucial point in his career?
Earlier in the night, there was at least one clear result. Former NRL enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona made a stunning start to his boxing journey, flattening Jeremy Latimore with a brutal first-round knockout. That moment gave the crowd something to cheer, but it was quickly overshadowed by the chaos of the main event.
As the arena emptied, the mood was one of disappointment. A fight years in the making ended in minutes, not with punches, but with protocol.
That’s boxing sometimes. Brutal, unpredictable and deeply unsatisfying.
We’ll be watching closely to see what happens next, because this story is far from over. Stay with us for more reaction, more fallout and whatever comes next from the ring.
