‘Tim who?’: Zerafa blasts ‘boring’ Tszyu, claims he is living off father’s famous name – Fox Sports
Michael Zerafa has accused Australian boxing rival Tim Tszyu of trading on his famous surname and branded him dull and one-dimensional.

Tszyu is currently preparing for his highly-anticipated bout with Jeff Horn in August, an opponent whom he went one and one with through a pair of highly competitive battles last year, the second of which he lost in controversial fashion.
He is still hoping to avenge that defeat and secure a trilogy fight against Horn, but reserved special criticism for Tszyu, son of former world champion Kostya, saying he almost fell asleep during the 25-year-olds press conference on Monday.

I fell asleep. He cant string a sentence together. It sounds like hes talking underwater. Hes the most boring fighter Ive ever seen, Zerafa was quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald. Im hoping hes putting it on (for the media) and hes not like that outside of boxing.
Im not going to knock his ability. Hes up and coming. But if you took his last name away, he wouldnt have this fight. Hes growing each fight, hes looking good but I think Horn beats him with his awkwardness and toughness.
Im looking forward to it but the real fight is with me, either the finale of trilogy with Horn or a blockbuster with Tszyu.
Tszyu had a four-fight plan that I was in he stuck to three of those fights and ducked me. He calls himself a fighter but he ducked me.
His surname got him here…

Id be all over him like a rash. Hes a one-dimensional fighter. Take nothing away from him, he will be something good. But not now, not while Im around in these divisions, he wont be able to beat me.
You have to clean up your back yard first, like I did, like Horn did. You take away Tszyus last name, youd ask Tim who? Whos he beaten?
He fought Joel Camilleri who is tough and Dwight Ritchie, rest his soul. Who else? He fought Wade Ryan, who is a tough journeyman, who I believe beat him. He put him down on the canvas in the first round and I think Tszyu lost that fight.
