Nikita Tszyu is gearing up for a potential highlight-reel knockout as he faces off against Danilo Creati, hoping to add another explosive finish to his undefeated record.
Tszyu, known as ‘The Butcher,’ has stopped all but one of his opponents within the distance, with the referee intervening before Tszyu could deliver more damage. However, Tszyu is aiming for a full-throttle finish against Creati, hoping the referee allows the Italian to “go out on his shield.”
“I want to deliver a one-punch knockout, another highlight-reel moment,” Tszyu told foxsports.com.au. “The referee always steps in before the real action starts. I hope they let Creati fight until the end.”
Creati, a 34-year-old veteran, has never been stopped in his professional career, with his only defeat coming against Michael Zerafa. Known for his elusive and unpredictable style, Creati presents a unique challenge for Tszyu.
Despite this, Tszyu remains confident, crediting his extensive amateur background and recent training in the US for preparing him to handle any style thrown his way.
“My time in America exposed me to various sparring partners and styles,” Tszyu said. “I’ve faced fighters similar to Creati, and I’m ready to adapt and overcome.”
Tszyu emphasized his adaptability, having faced many defensively-focused and elusive fighters during his training sessions in the US.
As the countdown to their clash on April 24 continues, Tszyu remains optimistic about putting on a show-stopping performance against Creati.
