Mike Safo with Australian Boxer Michael "Pretty Boy" Zerafa

Mike Safo

Joined today by former middleweight champion and current # 1 ranked fighter in his class, Michael "Pretty Boy" Zerafa. Mike talks about his favorite Australian foods, what there is to do in Melbourne and his go to cheat meal. We chat about boxing at the age of 7, his parents’ reactions to this decision and what was his back-up plan if he didn't fight. Michael tells us about how he got the nickname "Pretty Boy", fighters he looked up to growing up, and turning pro and not going the Olympic route. We discuss his insane early fight career (fighting 6 times in 8 months), taking his first title fight at 15-0, mentally dealing with a controversial loss, and why I tell him he shouldn't take any more fights outside of the Land Down Under. Mike talks about his crazy post fight routine, why he loves training in Los Angeles, and where all his belts are displayed. We talk about the shady sport that is boxing, why he keeps his circle tight and we hear about the dumbest purchase he's ever made. Michael talks about December 9th at MGM and fighting on the undercard knowing that if he wins he's fighting for a World Title, how he stays motivated after being inactive for a long period of time, and we hear why he didn't fight in Brooklyn. He talks about commentating, how he prepares for a life behind the mic, and we hear how Pretty Boy proposed to his fiancé, From having dinner with Hasbulla to dreaming of fighting in the Garden, enjoy Michael Zerafa here IG link :https://www.instagram.com/michael_zerafa/
