Overview

• At Tuesday's weigh-in, Michael Zerafa appeared and all fighters on the No Limit card successfully made weight.
• After alleging defamation in a now-deleted post, Zerafa apologised to No Limit, said he was told not to attend the press conference, and blamed media portrayal for the fallout.
• George Rose had said Zerafa would miss the media event but be at the scales and maintains the bout is set for Wednesday at ICC Sydney.
• Nikita Tszyu and Brock Jarvis criticised the absence as unprofessional, while opponent Mikey Dahlman downplayed it and focused on the fight.
• The controversy unfolds against a backdrop of ongoing friction, including Zerafa's 2021 withdrawal from a Tim Tszyu bout and recent barbs with Nikita.
