Boxing: Nikita Tszyu and Danilo Creati had some great back and forth ahead of their title fight on Wednesday night.
'Turn the Italian into a little sausage' | 05:12They’ve hosted UFC superstar Jon Jones , train alongside Robert Whittaker and now the Bulldogs are set to be part of a Nikita Tszyu fight night .
While Tyszu is looking to take his undefeated career start to nine straight wins against awkward Italian Danilo Creati, the Hordern Pavilion event will also involve the latest anticipated outings of two more undefeated No Limit prospects – Aussie middleweight Mateo Tapia and New Zealand light heavyweight Jerome Pampellone .
Speaking at the Monday press conference in Sydney, Smith suggested the bout between the two rivals, who have had plenty to say leading up to the fight, would almost certainly “steal the show” and earn the victor Rose’s bounty. Speaking with Fox Sports Australia afterwards, the 25-year-old also confirmed whispers that a group of Bulldogs players would be part of a fight night entourage that walks him to the ring.
“I’d always been a rugby league fan but didn’t have a team and didn’t even know any of the Bulldogs players.“But when everyone was going for the Tigers I thought ‘nah, stuff this, I’m going against everyone’. Prates also coaches Australia’s first UFC champion Whittaker who has also worked with the Bulldogs playing squad.
