N\ufeffikita Tszyu<\/a> has been accused of "dangerous" tactics by rival Danilo Creati ahead of their Australian super-welterweight title fight on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The younger brother of former world champ Tim Tszyu<\/a> has been chipping away at his own boxing career on the Aussie circuit, remaining undefeated across eight bouts.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old will defend his title against Creati in the main event of \ufeffthe upcoming No Limit pay-per-view, promising there will be blood spilled between the pair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, according to Creati – who has previously fought world title challenger Michael Zerafa – some of the tactics employed by Tszyu are causing him concerns.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the press conference on Monday, the 34-year-old claimed Tszyu had \ufeffused illegal strikes in his win over Dylan Biggs last November<\/a>, urging the officials to "keep this fight fair" in a scathing attack on the second-generation star.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"We saw in Nikita Tszyu's last fight against Biggs, he was punching so many times behind the head," Creati told media.<\/p>\n

"There were seven or eight in a row at one time. It's so dangerous.<\/p>\n

"You have to stop the rabbit punch. It concerns me. We have to keep this fight fair."<\/p>\n

Creati (8-1-1) also accused Tszyu of receiving preferential treatment from officials due to his surname and the legacy of his father, Kostya, during his boxing career.<\/p>\n

"He's literally surfing the light of his father and brother," Creati said.<\/p>\n

"His promoters are also picking the right fights for him, and in the right moments. They don't pick Creati at his best \u2026 they pick me after 14 months of inactivity.<\/p>\n

"He has the support of his home country, and then the judges play a big role too."<\/p>\n

Creati and Tszyu will headline a huge card at the Hordern Pavilion this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
