Michael Zerafa has launched his hat in the ring a few days before the programmed return of Tim Tszyu, offering to replace Joey Spencer if the American moves away due to a judgment dispute.
Spencer’s team is furious after learning that the three judges designated for the main Sunday event will be Australian, which claims to directly violate the terms agreed two months ago. Now, Zerafa said Fox Sports Australia It is ready to jump if the fight collapses.
“There is the perception that everything goes to Tim”, “ Zeerafa said.
“If Joey Spencer and his team feel that the judge situation is not fair and decides not to move forward, I will be ready. Whether it is five days of notification or only one, if there is the possibility of solving businesses without finishing, I am increasing, without hesitation.”
The unfinished business refers to its 2021 scrapping clash, which Zerafa retired during covid locks. This movement triggered a strong criticism, but the Melbourne fighter has rebuilt his reputation and fought in Tszyu’s departure in Las Vegas last year. Now, he is looking at the possibility of finally getting Tszyu in the ring, according to extreme circumstances.
Judge Bombshell shakes Tszyu-Spencer’s struggle week
Joey Spencer’s camp has been blinded by a sudden and unexpected change in the Judges program for the Sunday struggle against Tim Tszyu, which caused a possible withdrawal a few days before the fight.
Said Father and Coach of Spencer, Jason Spencer Fox Sports Australia which are originally guaranteed a jury consisting of an Australian and two international officials. Instead, they found out this week that the three judges would be local.
“When we were offered this struggle 10 weeks ago, we were promised a neutral jury,” “ he said.
“We are told in a few days that the three judges are Australian. It is not the treatment. And they are told during the fight week, it is completely unprofessional.”
Jason hurried to say that he does not accuse anyone of deceiving, but the concern is clear: even the appearance of partiality in the country in a narrow struggle could be unfairly rotated.
“Judge does not have to be corrupt to be unfair”, He explained.
“All you need is an officer who unconsciously favors a certain style, or seeing a fighter than the other. This can close the rounds. This can change their races.”
Spencer Camp demands Tszyu Push for equity
What this controversy worsens, according to Spencers, is that Tim Tszyu has accepted neutral judges for previous struggles of the world title at home, included against Tony Harrison and Brian Mendoza.
“Why change -now?” Jason asked.
“Tim Tszyu wants a fair struggle?”
From now on, Tszyu is still planned to face Spencer at 11:00 AEDT on Sunday, April 6, live at the main event through Kayo Sports. But unless the judge situation is resolved, the Spencer team can leave.
And if that happens, Michael Zerafa says he is ready with gloves.
