Pedro's chilling retort to trash talking Terzievski

EXCLUSIVE: Tyson Pedro has delivered a chilling retort to Kris Terzievski's out of character trash talk.

Terzievski, one of the nice guys of Australian boxing, let out some frustration in an interview with Stan Sport on Friday, upset that Pedro continued to be the centre of attention ahead of Wednesday's Uncaged fight in Penrith.

"He couldn't make it in his own sport and he says he's not doing this for a cash grab - this and this," Terzievski said.

"I heard his last interview, in his UFC contest, said he had to rob someone on the way out because he wasn't making enough money and all of a sudden he's coming to boxing and he's the 'A side,' making all the money."

Pedro, hailed as a hero for coming to the aid of a stricken cyclist on Friday, was unaware of Terzievski's spicy comments until informed by Wide World of Sports.

"Obviously he doesn't know most of the back story, what's going on behind the scenes to make this fight happen," a steely Pedro told Wide World of Sports.

"But, you know, someone questioning my integrity - that's gonna cost him. I'm making him relevant again. So I think it's a poor choice of words for him to question my integrity. I'll show him why now. Yeah, it's gonna cost him."

Pedro is making his professional boxing debut while Terzievski (12-1) is the Australian Bridgerweight champion and one of only two men to have defeated former NRL star Paul Gallen in the ring.

"But I know he wouldn't be taking this if he wasn't ready. So I'm expecting the best Tyson," he said.

"I'm ready for 10 hard rounds, as long as it goes, I'm ready to go. I want to go hard and not just show my boxing ability but warrior spirit as well and give the fans a good show. Look, he's a fighter at the end of the day.

"UFC - he could come from Mars for all I care. It's hard to sort of analyse and study. It is a completely different sport. But I want to show what a skilled, slick southpaw can do. It's about me as opposed to what he's bringing."https://twitter.com/StanSportAU/status/1856909929950380138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

FIGHT DETAILS FOR UNCAGED HEADLINERS

Pedro vs Terzievski

Former UFC superstar Tyson Pedro steps out of the Octagon and into the squared circle for his long-awaited boxing debut at Uncaged - an unmissable boxing extravaganza packed with some of the best talent Australia has to offer including Paulo Aokuso, Alex Leapai Jr and Curtis Scott.

Pedro will face off against Kris Terzievski, a 12-1 monster best known for being one of the only men to defeat NRL legend Paul Gallen in the ring.

The two will battle over the WBC International Bridgerweight title, with big things on the horizon for the victor.

Aokuso vs Waterman

In the co-main event, Paulo Aokuso the undefeated Olympic star and uncle to NRL and rugby sensation Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii - will take on top-ranked light heavyweight Clay Waterman for the WBC Australasian Light Heavyweight title, with no shortage of bad blood between the pair and fireworks expected.

Scott vs Messam

Rounding out the feature bouts is a clash of codes, as former NRL player Curtis Scott (3-0) squares off against former All Blacks rugby star Liam Messam (7-0), where someone's undefeated streak will come to an end.

WHY WAS THE FIGHT POSTPONED?

Tyson Pedro is adamant that he has fully recovered from the gruesome injury that delayed his professional boxing debut for five months.

The former UFC star was supposed to fight Paul Gallen slayer Kris Terzievski on June 12 but the Australian fractured his elbow when a punch went horribly wrong in training.

Pedro later shared an image of the painful moment that he captioned: "not the way you want to see your arm going."
