‘Prison b***’: Tszyu brothers called out after Brock Jarvis finishes Adrian Rodriguez

Tim Tszyu is facing an ugly truth and bitter rival Michael Zerafa is the one that’s exposed it after drama unfolded on Friday night.

Jarvis: "I want Nikita Tszyu"

The Tszyu brothers have been sent a message after drama unfolded at Brock Jarvis’ return fight in Sydney on Friday night.

Jarvis was convincing as he finished Queenslander Adrian Rodriguez in the fourth round at The Star — and his performance has put pressure on Nikita Tszyu to accept his challenge to fight.

That result came as Michael Zerafa popped up on the No Limit Fox Sports card and took another swipe at Tim Tszyu with suggestions it is the former world champion that is now dodging a domestic superfight.

Zerafa has made a move to join promoters No Limit in a bid to further twist Tim Tszyu’s arm for a fight that has been three years in the making.

According to foxsports.com.au, Tszyu instead wants a tune up fight in Australia before touching gloves with Zerafa.

According to the report the pair may even fight on the same card in March or April before negotiations get serious about an all-Australian blockbuster.

"Back with a BANG" - Jarvis v Rodriguez

The tables have turned on the Tszyu brothers with the pair going from the hunters to the hunted.

“He fears me,” Zerafa said on Friday.

“Even when I’m in his presence, he gets awkward. Get’s prison b***h jumpy.

“Tim is running scared Personally, I’d have that fight tonight. I’m ready now. But he doesn’t want it.

“Tim Tszyu is coming off two losses and I’ll make it three. I’ll end his career. And that’s why he’s hiding. He knows if it’s three losses in a row, everything is over for him.

“He knows that. That’s why he’s avoiding me.”

Zerafa and Tszyu were originally scheduled to fight in 2021 before Zerafa withdrew a week before the fight.

After back-to-back world title defeats, including October’s thrashing at the hands of Russian champ Bakhram Murtazaliev, Zerafa has seized his opportunity to put Tszyu into a corner.

Meanwhile, Jarvis also made a stunning claim to be the next man to get a shot at Nikita Tszyu.

“That’s the fight I’m gunning for,” he said.

“He called me out, that’s the fight I’m after.”

No Limit is reportedly preparing a stacked pay-per-view card in March and it is likely Nikita Tszyu will feature.

In the earlier fights on Friday, a nasty head clash left Kaye Scott worse for wear during her IBF middleweight world title defeat to Desley Robinson.
