Nikita Tszyu<\/a> will continue his quest to keep his record unbeaten when he faces Jack Brubaker<\/a> at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday night.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The younger of the fighting Tszyu siblings, Nikita has carved out a reputation for being the polar opposite to his brother Tim inside and outside the ring. Yet on Wednesday night, they'll share a common opponent in Brubaker.<\/p>\n

The elder Tszyu made short work of Brubaker in 2019\ufeff, scoring a dominant fourth-round stoppage win and has since gone on to amass a 23-0 record and next month will be crowned WBO super welterweight champion.<\/p>\n

And Nikita seems destined to follow the same path, going undefeated in his first six fights and displaying a penchant for big punches and an aggressive style, which is at odds with his brother, who takes a more cautious approach.<\/p>\n

During Tuesday's weigh-in, Tszyu hit the scales lighter than Brubaker, and continued trash talking the 'Cronulla Cowboy' during the face-off.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI was just telling him enjoy these last few moments. This is going to be your retirement. It's the last time you're going to be in the ring," Tszyu told Main Event.<\/p>\n

\"Nikita<\/p>\n

"It always pisses me off to make weight; I funnel that energy into my opponent, that anger is going to keep coming into the fight. Press conference, weigh-ins, there's always a different side to me that comes out.<\/p>\n

"I want to put some damage onto him and inflict as much pain as possible. It's something fun for me, it's something I enjoy doing. We're not in this sport to put make-up on each other or something.<\/p>\n

"We're in this sport to fight. I want to punch on. I want to see blood. Bust up his face, I want to see his eyes close up."<\/p>\n

Those comments followed Tszyu's interview on Monday, which drew laughter from the crowd at the press conference.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffIt's nothing personal against him, this is just a desire against every person I fight – it could be a little bit sadistic inside me," Tszyu said.<\/p>\n

"I get pleasure out of this, this is kind of like a sexual pleasure for me. I'm going in there for the fun of seeing pain in people's eyes. No disrespect to you."<\/p>\n
