Tim Tszyu has made another major change to his camp, parting ways with his team and placing his full trust in Australian boxing legend Jeff Fenech as his new trainer ahead of a potential July showdown with Errol Spence Jr..
The decision marks Tszyu’s second overhaul in just three fights. After previously moving on from long-time trainer Igor Goloubev and manager Glenn Jennings, the 31-year-old had been working with Pedro Diaz alongside co-managers Mike Altamura and Darcy Ellis. Despite recent wins over Anthony Velazquez and Denis Nurja, Tszyu has now opted for another reset.
Fenech, who had been serving as an advisor, will now take on a central role and is also in discussions to become Tszyu’s manager. The former world champion has been openly critical of Tszyu’s previous direction, particularly highlighting technical issues and a lack of tactical adaptability in recent fights.
According to Fenech, the immediate focus will be on improving Tszyu’s mental preparation and adding layers to his approach in the ring. He pointed to defensive vulnerabilities and an overreliance on a single game plan, stressing the need for adjustments as Tszyu steps up against elite opponents like Spence.
