Queensland boxing star Issac Hardman last night added to his undefeated record and then vowed to “smash that Michael Zerafa‘s head in”.
The 25-year-old defeated Adam Stowe via a fourth-round technical knockout in Brisbane – and he then resumed his verbal war with fellow Australian Zerafa.
Hardman, whose record is now 12-0 (10 knockouts), has made it very clear for some time that he wants to face Zerafa, who he’s repeatedly called a “fleabag”.

“I think everyone here knows what’s next,” Hardman told former world champion Jeff Horn on Fox Sports after his defeat of Stowe.
“I’m going to smash that Michael Zerafa’s head in.”
Horn, who defeated Zerafa in December 2019, chimed in.
“I’ve done that once before,” Horn said.
“It feels pretty good.”
Hardman wasn’t done with his attack on Zerafa, blasting him for withdrawing from his slated fight against Tim Tszyu on July 7.
“He did the disservice of running away from Fox Sports against Tim Tszyu,” Hardman said.
“Let’s get (Zerafa) on Fox and I’ll smash him for everyone.”
