Fundora vs Thurman | Sunday 29 March from 11am AEDT | WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Sebastian Fundora will return to the ring looking to continue his 154-pound reign against the former unified world champion Keith Thurman. | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n The decision comes as Tszyu has also spoken for the first time about his ongoing legal battle with former manager Glen Jennings, which could be headed for the NSW Supreme Court.<\/p>\n Speaking this week from his current training base in Miami, Florida, Tszyu stressed that while his own legal team has now become involved in the Jennings situation, his sole focus remains on continuing his world title resurrection against Nurja on April 5 in Wollongong. <\/p>\n Elsewhere, the fighter dubbed \u2018Phoenix\u2019 has also opened up on the incredible changes taking place – both to his fight style and body – under new Cuban coach Pedro Diaz. <\/p>\n Tszyu says an overhaul of his sparring program under Diaz, who boasts a Ph.D in Pedagogical Sciences, has freed his body from a run of troublesome neck, shoulder and hip issues that have been carried through a rollercoaster couple of years that includes three world title losses against Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev.<\/p>\n Tszyu added the changes have been so impressive, prior to their first fight together in December against unbeaten American Anthony Velazquez, he recalls thinking: \u2018What the hell? My hips aren\u2019t clicking anymore \u2026\u2019<\/p>\n Tim Tszyu in Rockdale.

I\u2019ve got nothing more to say than that …\u201d<\/p>\n Soon after, however, the fighter confirmed that when he does jet back into Sydney this Sunday to finalise preparations, he won\u2019t be training out of the Tszyu Fight Club — a gym his father Kostya famously established during his own storied professional career.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
