Drama at Weigh-Ins as Nikita Tszyu Makes Weight Just in Time for Bout Against Danilo Creati

In a dramatic turn of events at the weigh-ins, Nikita Tszyu caused quite a stir as he pushed the limits to make weight for his upcoming bout against Danilo Creati. While Creati comfortably made the super welterweight limit of 70kg, Tszyu was nowhere to be seen when called to step onto the scales.

Tszyu, known as ‘The Butcher’, was running late and needed more time to cut weight, with reports indicating he was over the limit by as much as one kilogram earlier in the day. The tension rose as Tszyu finally arrived, sporting sunglasses and weighing in at 69.82kg, just under the limit, making the fight official.

Despite the close call, Tszyu brushed off any suggestions of struggling with the weight cut, claiming he was simply walking his dogs and lost track of time. However, his cheeky remark about the vegan Creati eating a sausage on fight night added a playful touch to the intense atmosphere.

The Italian boxer’s coach, Tony Del Vecchio, expressed his desire for Tszyu to weigh in immediately, emphasizing the importance of following the rules. With the drama unfolding at the weigh-ins, the anticipation for the fight between Tszyu and Creati has only intensified.

As Tszyu returns to the ring for the first time in 2024 to defend his title, fans can expect an electrifying showdown between the two fighters. With both athletes making weight, the stage is set for an exciting battle that promises to deliver fireworks in the ring.
