Boxing: Nikita Tszyu has admitted he got a little aroused when opponent Koen Mazoudier spoke of painting a bloody canvas when the two square off on Wednesday.
'Keep it in your pants' - Tszyu is WEIRD | 01:27 Nikita Tszyu and Koen Mazoudier have delivered a tense, but strange, press conference with the man nicknamed ‘The Butcher” delivering one of boxing’s most bizarre lines, after a heated exchange between fellow fighter Michael Zerafa and Tommy Browne nearly turned physical.
“The level of quality of where we at in our careers, this is a very high quality fight, you can see we are both here relaxed and happy. “We are coming to try and kill each other... we are going to try and hurt each other as good as we can.”Then came Tszyu’s reply when asked if Mazoudier’s graphic words excited him, saying: “Yeah for sure, it’s the exact same thoughts that I have had in my head.
To which Tszyu replied: “Yeah, I got a little s****y just then” before Mazoudier said “mate, keep that to yourself, I don’t want to see that”. Meanwhile, Browne’s last two bouts were in Thailand, with Zerafa calling him nothing more than an “opponent”, accused him of fighting “ladyboys” and said he should have retired 10 years ago.Browne then took aim at Zerafa’s performance against Lara, saying: “You talk about getting in the ring with the best middleweight in the world, you did but what did you do?
Tensions then reached boiling point when Browne said “I’d flog you outside here too mate” to which Zerafa replied “You want to flog me? Come flog me now?”.
