Melbourne, Australia (April 19, 2022)--SLB Fight Night is live from the Melbourne Pavilion on April 20th with Michael Zerafa vs Isaac Hardman in the Main Event – the Middleweight IBF Eliminator Match. The winner will go on to fight Brazil's Equiva Falcao for the world champion title. The co-main event is a title match with Cherneka Johnson facing off against Melissa Esquivel in a fight for the vacant IBF World Female Super Bantam Title.
Zerafa and Hardman have been trading barbs in the Australian press for weeks. Zerafa says Hardman doesn't have the "boxing smarts" to beat him. "All he relies on is his power. That's all he's got, and he doesn't even have that good of a right hand," he said. Hardman counters that his years in MMA give him an edge, calling MMA the "truest form of fighting." Hardman taunted, "Let him think I don't have the boxing IQ. He will figure it out when he's laying flat on his back."
On the undercard is another women's title fight with Carly Salmon fighting Krystina Jacobs for the vacant Australian National Boxing Federation Australasian Featherweight Female Title.
