Nikita Tszyu Injured in Car Accident, Return Decision Due Within Weeks

Promoters say minor injuries leave the proposed Michael Zerafa bout uncertain.

Overview

  • No Limit Boxing said Tszyu’s vehicle was struck at an intersection over the weekend and that he is recovering at home with his family.
  • Officials indicated they will decide in the coming weeks whether Tszyu will fight in 2025, putting the Zerafa matchup on hold.
  • Zerafa publicly urged Tszyu to “sign the contract” during a press conference last month as talk of an all-Australian bout gathered momentum.
  • Tszyu said he is training and preparing for what he called an inevitable meeting, adding that he plans to start fast once the bout is official.
  • The update comes as the Tszyu camp shifts, with brother Tim parting ways with long-time coach Igor Goloubev and manager Glen Jennings, changes Nikita says he will not mirror.
