Local boxing superstar Mad Reeves will return to ring on January 16 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on one of the most anticipated boxing cards in Australian boxing history.
Reeves will fight on the undercard of the undefeated Nikita Tszyu and long-time rival Michael Zerafa, in a fight, several years in the making and one that will cap months of slander and trash talk, the boxers agreeing to a catchweight bout at 71.5 kilograms.
Reeves, with an opposing record of 11 wins, one loss and one draw, will take on Nathan Silver, with a four-win, one-loss record, his only blemish against the highly-rated Dominic Molinaro at middleweight.
Reeves hasn’t been seen in the ring since stopping Abdul Abdulrahman in the first round on July 25 at the Pullman Hotel, regaining Australian Super Middleweight title.
Although he hasn’t been in action, Reeves has still been working hard in the background while enjoying fatherhood for the first time.
Every time Reeves takes a break he returns bigger and stronger. Silver faces a huge challenge in his fledgling career.
It is set to be a must-watch card. There’s been tension between the Tszyu and Zerafa camps ever since the later withdrew from a scheduled fight in Newcastle with Tim Tszyu, Nikita’s world championship-winning brother, amid the COVID-19 restrictions in 2021.
