Nikita Tszyu<\/a> might be the main attraction on Wednesday night's No Limit card<\/a>, but it was another boxer who stole the show at the weigh-ins on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Queensland fighter Lance McDonald had the crowd in stitches when he arrived on stage in Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Main Event host Ben Damon did warn onlookers to "\ufeffavert your eyes" as he introduced McDonald, but the Brisbane pugilist showed why he goes by the nickname "G-Banger".<\/p>\n

\"Lance<\/p>\n

He stripped off his tracksuit to reveal only a skimpy black g-string covering his genitals, as those around him burst into laughter.<\/p>\n

As he stood on the scales even No Limit boss George Rose could be seen in stitches at the sight.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI'll just give you a moment, ladies and gentlemen," Damon joked as the laughter continued after McDonald had stepped off the scales.<\/p>\n

The boxer with a 1-4-1 professional record weighed in at 68.76kg\ufeff for his bout with Rahim Mundine – the son of multisport legend Anthony – who tipped the scales at 69.76kg.<\/p>\n

\"Lance<\/p>\n

The pair will square off at Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Wednesday night on the undercard\ufeff of Tszyu taking on Spanish fighter Oscar Diaz.<\/p>\n

At the weigh-ins on Tuesday a ripped Tszyu clocked 69.40kg while his opponent weighed in at 69.16kg.<\/p>\n

Diaz doesn't speak English but simply proclaimed \ufeff"let's go!" when asked for a final comment by Damon.<\/p>\n

\"No<\/p>\n

Tszyu, the rising Aussie boxer and son of the legendary Kostya, \ufeffwas much more forward with his comment.<\/p>\n

"I'm ready to hurt him," Tszyu said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Tszyu later spoke to Main Event and was more expansive ahead of his 17th professional bout, including speaking about advice from his famous father.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffHe only gives me one piece of advice – don't get hit," he said.<\/p>\n

"That's all I've ever heard from him, and that's all you need to know.<\/p>\n

"It's a simple sport.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Tszyu's<\/p>\n

"Hopefully I get the chance to maim (Diaz), put a lot of pain into someone's eyes."<\/p>\n

Not only did Tszyu's physique look trim on Tuesday, he also sported a fresh haircut.<\/p>\n

After appearing at Monday's press conference with a full head of hair, Tszyu arrived on Tuesday with a shaved head.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeff"This is like my helmet, in a way," he said.<\/p>\n

"It's a ritual. When I shaved my head\ufeff last night I felt something change. Now I'm ready."<\/p>\n

Tszyu (11-0) and \ufeffDiaz (16-0) are both undefeated and hoping to remain that way on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
