Tim Tszyu and Jeff Fenech open up on their early success – and the push to get woke NRL star into the ring with right-wing commentator

Aussie boxing champion Tim Tszyu may have only been working with Australia’s greatest ever fighter Jeff Fenech for a few months – but you wouldn’t know it.Fenech was in Tszyu’s corner as he claimed a historic victory over Errol Spence Jr last weekend, with the win coming as much needed for the 31-year-old.Tszyu had lost his last two super-welterweight fights and began losing confidence, with the recent fight being seen as his make or break moment.But his new partnership with Fenech, who is a three-time world champion, and his decision to completely alter his team structure, changed everything.’Since I’ve gone to Jeff, I haven’t been isolating myself anymore,’ Tszyu told Daily Mail.’Bringing in a new team sort of gave me a break from training feeling like a military camp. I’ve felt more relaxed and happy.’ Tim Tszyu and Jeff Fenech (pictured together) have opened up about their successful partnership Tszyu (pictured right) won his fight against Errol Spence Jr (pictured left) last weekendDespite initially being in the shadow of his legendary father Kostya, who enjoyed great success in the sport, the Aussie fighter has forged his own path.’I feel like I’m at the peak. I love what boxing brings,’ Tszyu said.’I love who you turn into when you go into this sport. It’s just you and your opponent. Anything is possible with one punch.’Tszyu hopes this partnership with Fenech continues for a while – and his new coach believes the Sydney-born man has the ability to become a two-time world champion.If he were able to do so, Tszyu would be just the third Aussie male to achieve the feat.Despite the early success, Fenech didn’t have it easy when the partnership began, with the 62-year-old being forced to improve a specific aspect of Tszyu’s performance.The well-respected fighting legend made a key change after identifying the struggles Tszyu was facing. ‘The first thing I had to do was fix his head because he had so much trauma. It was all personal at the start, and me showing I had his back,’ Fenech said. The Aussie boxing star (pictured left) is aiming to become a three-time world champion in the near future Tszyu (pictured left of his wife Alexandra) has claimed his recent fight was ‘make or break”My first and foremost priority was to make sure Tim was happy. If there’s any pressure on him, I’ll let the air out of the tyre.’I made him get off social media and use another phone number at one point. It (the criticism online) affected his wife more – and if it affects her – it will upset him.’Fenech takes his role in Tszyu’s team incredibly seriously – and has since stated he enlisted the help of some of Australia’s super coaches from different codes.’I spoke to Wayne Bennett. I spoke to Graham Arnold every day,’ Fenech said.’I wanted to make sure he was looked after.’Tszyu has become one of the country’s most respected names, and while he is taking a break from fighting, he is pursuing an exciting new initiative. He has put his hand up to push for a new boxing match to take place – a fight he will not participate in.The 31-year-old has teamed up with right-wing commentator Brett Whitford, as he pushes to settle his differences with former NRL player Luke Bateman.  Tszyu has teamed up with right-wing commentator Beau Whitford (pictured) to help promote his push for a bout with footy star Luke Bateman Bateman (pictured) and Whitford disagree on several philosophical topics, and Whitford wants to settle their differences in the ringWhitford has laid down the gauntlet to Bateman, after the pair’s frequent disagreements about books, free speech and wokeism.He wants to resolve his issues with the former rugby league player in the ring, and believes he has a strong chance of winning. ‘It (the idea of the fight) is cool. It started as a joke,’ Whitford said.’I’ve been training. I stay in pretty good shape. We are similar weight range. I reckon it will be a great match.’The proposed bout is slated for October – which would give both men time to prepare should Bateman accept the invitation.Tszyu has already endorsed Whitford as his favourite – with the pair being pictured in the world champion’s Rockdale gym recently.’I’m with Team Brett,’ Tszyu said.’I think (the idea of the fight) is great. For someone to say, “Let’s do it”, that takes a lot of courage and respect. I really respect it.’
