As Brisbane sweltered in a 40C heatwave on Monday Michael Zerafa promised to take Jeff Horn to an even hotter hell on Wednesday night.
The two fierce rivals will come face-to-face for their much anticipated middleweight bout on Wednesday four months after Zerefa handed Horn the biggest beating of his life.

Horn remains confident of being able to bounce back and restore his reputation, but a furious Zerafa made it clear where he stands on Monday.
“I’m going to knock (Horn) out,” Zerafa declared.
“You’re not a middleweight, man. You don’t have my power. I’m ending your f---ing career.’’
There’s been plenty of bad blood in the lead-up to the fight, with Zerafa’s camp claiming Horn has cost him an $800,000 fight against Ryota Murata by demanding the rematch take place before Christmas.
Zerafa has also spent all week taking pot shots at the Horn camp, including spiteful comments aimed at trainer Glenn Rushton – who Zerafa claims he puts his own interests ahead of the safety of his fighter.
Rushton came under fire for not throwing the towel in early to save Horn from punishment when Zerafa dominated their first fight between the pair.
Horn, however, says a repeat would not happen if he gets badly hurt again on Wednesday – not that he expects that to be the case.
