Jeff Fenech Says Tim Tszyu Can Be A Two-Time World Champion After His Next Fight
"He'll be a two-time champion after his next fight." That is Jeff Fenech's call on Tim Tszyu, and he made it with the calm of a trainer who has already seen the work.
Fenech spoke to Combat Down Under about what it has been like in the corner with Tszyu. His aim is simple: a fighter with a clear mind who knows his only job is to do the training. "I'll do the rest," Fenech says, as long as it is done the way he wants.
Then he aims higher. Fenech says he would love to be part of making boxing history with Tszyu, and that winning three or four world titles would be a dream.
Asked whether he has noticed a confidence boost since they started working together, Fenech says he wished Tszyu was there to answer it himself. Then he answers anyway. He has seen a fighter who loves what he does, enjoys it and can't wait to get to the gym every day. For Fenech, that matters most.
A trainer with Fenech's name on the door backing his fighter to win a second world title, with more beyond it, makes Tszyu's next fight one to watch.
