On Monday afternoon however, the NSW Combat Authority informed Zerafa that he had not yet completed the relevant medical testing to be cleared to fight.Fighters get a little freaky in presser | 18:57It is understood the misunderstanding came about because Zerafa’s last fight was in the US -- where he was stopped by WBA champ Erislandy Lara in March.
