Yes, of course,\u201d Tszyu said while speaking to Fox Sports. \u201cWhy do stuff if it makes you unhappy? I don\u2019t have to second guess. If I believe something now, I just do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tszyu had been training in Miami under Pedro Diaz, but said long stretches away from home became difficult to manage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a lot happening in the last camp. In all honesty, I wanted to spend a lot of time here in Australia. I spent a long time away from home,\u201d Tszyu said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that being separated from family and dealing with time differences took a toll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hard, you don\u2019t talk to your wife, the time difference is crazy. As soon as the fight finished, I knew I needed to stay home to be more present,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tszyu has since turned to Fenech, one of Australia\u2019s most respected boxing figures, and believes the move gives him the environment he needs heading into the next stage of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe comfort that he made me feel was something that I needed,\u201d Tszyu said.<\/p>\n<p>Tszyu said camp has not fully started yet as he waits for a proposed fight with Errol Spence Jr. to be finalized. If that bout is confirmed, the Fenech partnership would begin under immediate pressure against a well-known former champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWas it hard?
