Brother of Boxer Charged After Post-Fight Brawl

News summary

Australian boxer Michael Zerafa's victory against Tommy Browne was marred by a post-fight brawl where his brother, Jason-Manuel Zerafa, punched Browne's trainer, Tommy Mercuri. The incident occurred after Browne retired due to a bicep injury, prompting Zerafa to taunt him, leading to a heated exchange with Mercuri. Jason-Manuel was subsequently charged with assault and barred from future boxing events, while the NSW Combat Sports Authority is expected to investigate further. Commentators criticized the behavior, asserting it was unacceptable and suggesting that Zerafa's corner should be reconsidered. The chaotic scene included multiple individuals crowding the ring before order was restored. Despite the controversy, Michael Zerafa remains focused on future bouts, including a potential match against Nikita Tszyu.
