Tim Tszyu, the Australian boxer, is gearing up for a crucial fight against Joey Spencer on April 6 in Newcastle.
Coming off two consecutive losses, the 30-year-old is determined to bounce back and improve his record.
As he focuses on his training for this important bout, his wife, Alexandra Constantine, is sharing some personal insights into their relationship, shedding light on how they first met and what their life together has been like.
How Tim and Alexandra First Crossed Paths
In a candid conversation with Phil Rothfield from The Daily Telegraph, Alexandra opened up about the moment she first met Tim.
It was back in 2016, shortly after Tim’s first professional fight.
She attended a gym class at PCYC Rockdale, where Tim was running the session.
A mutual friend who had grown up with Tim invited Alexandra to join the class, and that’s where their connection began.
“I developed a really close relationship with him after that,” Alexandra shared.
It wasn’t long before they were inseparable, starting what would become a long-term partnership.
Their First Date and Early Bonding
Looking back on their early days together, Alexandra also reminisced about their first date.
Instead of the usual dinner-and-movie routine, the couple enjoyed a more laid-back evening.
“We played arcade games at Timezone, then had a late meal at Cosmopolitan Café in Double Bay,” she recalled with a smile.
Tim jokingly thought she was trying to impress him by taking him there, but Alexandra insists it wasn’t for show— “They seriously had the best schnitzel and mash going for years,” she laughed.
Supportive Partner Through Thick and Thin
Throughout Tim’s boxing career, Alexandra has been by his side, providing unwavering support.
She’s often seen at his matches, cheering him on, and has become a fixture in his journey.
Despite Tim’s fame, she remains grounded, working as a finance graduate and a property law professional.
Fluent in three languages—Macedonian, English, and French—she has successfully balanced her career with her life with Tim.
However, even as the couple navigates their busy schedules, Alexandra shared a glimpse into their daily life at home.
“He just brings the chaos,” she says, acknowledging that while Tim might be a powerhouse in the ring, he’s also a whirlwind at home.
Plans for the Future and Life During Camp
As Tim prepares for what could be one of the most important fights of his career, he and Alexandra are still finding time to connect.
With Tim currently in training camp in Sydney, they manage to catch up whenever they can, despite their hectic routines.
“Now he is in camp in Sydney, we see each other daily – aside from when I need to go into the office for work; we are passing ships in the night,” she explained.
After training, they enjoy their quiet moments together.
They’ve recently taken to strolling through Cronulla, passing Anita Gelato and chatting about which flavors they’ll indulge in after Tim’s fight.
For Alexandra, these small moments are just as important as the big milestones in Tim’s career.
Looking Ahead to the Big Fight
Tim Tszyu’s upcoming match against Joey Spencer is one he’s determined to win.
With Spencer only having one loss in 19 fights, this will be no easy task.
Spencer’s sole defeat came at the hands of Jesus Alejandro Ramos Jr. in 2023, but Tim’s fans are hoping his upcoming fight will mark the start of a new winning streak.
As for Alexandra, she remains a constant source of support, balancing her work, family life, and her role as Tim’s biggest cheerleader.
Together, they continue to build their future while facing the challenges that come with Tim’s boxing career.
