Erislandy Lara has shattered Michael Zerafa's dream of winning a world title for his ailing sister with the Cuban-American emphatically retaining his WBA middleweight crown in Las Vegas.
Fighting on the blockbuster Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora card, Zerafa's night ended in the second round after he was sent tumbling to the canvas at T-Mobile Arena.
The Victorian had dedicated the fight to older sister Michelle, who had surprised Zerafa by being ringside despite undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
