Jeff Fenech Says Tim Tszyu Can Surpass Kostya

“I’ve spoken to Tim all his life, since he’s a baby,” Fenech said on FOX Footy and a couple of More. “I’ll just offer you just a little story. When he was three months old, he had teeth. He could eat meat.

“We’ve traveled, and I’ve at all times watched him and thought, ‘Well, this kid goes to be the best Aussie fighter.’ He’ll surpass me and his dad. I’ve at all times thought that, and I still think that he’s going to have the chance to try this.”

The partnership got here together after the 2 cleared the air following Fenech’s previous public criticism of Tszyu. Since joining the training camp, Fenech said he has been impressed by Tszyu’s work ethic and believes technical adjustments have unlocked one other level.

“I’ve been in camp with him for just over eight weeks now. It’s been probably the most amazing eight weeks of my life watching this guy give 200 percent day-after-day,” Fenech said.

“People say that he can’t punch like his dad. It’s just him getting within the positions without delay and doing a couple of things that we’ve modified. They’re all going to get a shock.”

Tszyu welcomed Fenech’s influence, saying the Hall of Famer has transformed each his preparation and his outlook.

“My life has completely modified with Jeff by my side now, all for the higher,” Tszyu said. “I come back home, and I’m joyful. It’s a vital thing. It’s not only this sport. In life it’s very vital to come back back home and be joyful, and I believe Jeff has been an enormous a part of that.”

Fenech believes those changes will likely be evident when Tszyu faces Spence, predicting fans will see the very best version of the Australian star yet.
