Fox Sports Australia reported this week that Tszyu has been dubbed a “beast” after going through two months of intense training at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. The UFC’s Director of Strength and Conditioning, and fellow Aussie, Gavin Pratt has guided Tszyu through a tortuous camp and told Fox Sports he’s excited by the improvements Tszyu has shown over the last two months.
He told Fox Sports: “When Tim went through the testing, we were licking our chops, couldn’t wait to get going. And then on the gym floor, he’s been nothing but professional and really motivated to make those changes.
“And to have that buy in, it’s exciting, especially from a fighter who has already been world champion. It’s a great recipe.”
