Former WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu is now working with trainer Pedro Diaz after a run of three defeats from his last four, parting from his previous trainer Igor Goloubev, as part of a new training set-up.
The change comes following Tszyu’s latest loss to Sebastian Fundora in their rematch in July, where Tim was stopped in the seventh round, missing out on the WBC belt at 154. The result meant Tsyzu’s only win from his last four came against Joseph Spencer in April, as he was stopped by the IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev in October 2024 and suffered a split decision loss to Fundora in March 2023.
Diaz, a highly regarded figure who coached the dominant Cuban national team through four Olympic Games (1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004), has the task of rejuvenating the Australian’s career. He has worked with the likes of Guillermo Rigondeaux, as Diaz’s task will be to make Tszyu a world champion again.
