Australian middleweight Michael Zerafa (30-4, 19 KOs) invites the unified division champion legendary Kazakh veteran Gennady Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs) to defend the WBA Super and IBF belts on the road.
By
words challenger, a fight with him in Australia is the most financially cool option for GGG: “That fight with Golovkin is what I want. I know that he considers me the easiest and safest applicant. Let. I’m not against. But at the same time, it is me who is the coolest option financially. What other options does he have? There are not many of them – to fight me, with (WBA challenger) Erislandy Lara or with (IBF challenger) Esquiva Falcao.
Zerafa is sure that it is he who is “the guarantee of the coolest financial offer. Because I got a guarantee of (financial) support if I can convince him to fight in Australia. I know that he is definitely interested. Zerafa vs GGG. Damn, that even sounds cool. In any case, regardless of his decision, in the next fight I will fight for the championship belt.
It is possible that Zerafa is not bluffing at all – the fighter has high positions in the ratings according to the WBA (# 1) and IBF (# 2) versions. In the last fight he held, he passed the unbeaten Italian without brilliance. And a little earlier, Michael spoke about the real reason for the failure of the fight with Tim Tszyu – “I was ordered.”
