Tim Tszyu will be hoping for some redemption in his rematch against Sebastian Fundora on Saturday

Tim Tszyu and Alexandra Constantine arrive ahead of the Creed III Sydney Premiere in Sydney in 2023
Who is Alexandra Constantine?
Alexandra Constantine is the wife of Australian boxer Tim Tszyu, a former WBO junior middleweight champion and son of former undisputed light-welterweight boxer Kostya Tszyu.
Tim Tszyu won the WBO interim junior middleweight title with a ninth-round TKO victory over Tony Harrison in March 2023 but lost the belt in a split decision against Sebastian Fundora in March 2024.
Saturday's rematch is his chance for redemption – and given Tszyu and Alexandra met at a boxing class, his wife is likely to be ringside once again.
Alexandra, a Sydney-born finance graduate, is fluent in three languages – Macedonian, English and French.
She attended the University of Technology in Sydney before pursuing a career in property law and has also lifted the lid on their first date.
"We played arcade games at Timezone, then had a late meal at Cosmopolitan Café in Double Bay," she once said.
"Tim said he thought I was trying to impress him by taking him there… but they seriously had the best schnitzel and mash going for years."
The couple sealed their marriage vows in Sydney in a lavish ceremony in front of 120 guests in 2016.
Their wedding was certainly an elaborate affair.
Tszyu and his brother Nikita, also a boxer, were dressed in stylish black Armani suits while Alexandra wore a stunning designer dress by Steve Khalil and Kostya wore a baby blue suit.
A convoy of luxury cars ferried the couple from the boxer's home in Caringbah to the wedding ceremony.
While Tim, 30, has said in interviews that his life is all about "boxing, boxing, boxing", he recently told the No Limit podcast that meeting and marrying Alexandra has had a profound effect on him.
"Boxing can't compete with my missus," he said. "I love her to death and that's my number one priority right now.
"I always put boxing as number one, throughout my whole life you know, boxing, boxing boxing.
"You come back and you start to think, you know what, family is actually number one."
Alexandra clearly feels the same, telling reporters before the wedding that getting married was less stressful than one of her husband's fights.
"In terms of vibes and nerves, a wedding is a walk in the park compared to a fight," she said.

Oleksandr Usyk reveals his name for punch which knocked out Daniel Dubois
Oleksandr Usyk took the IBF belt off Daniel Dubois with a devastating knockout at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night - and the Ukrainian said he owed it all to "Ivan" Daniel Dubois was on the receiving end of "Ivan" at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. Oleksandr Usyk knocked Dubois out to become the three-time undisputed heavyweight champion. Dubois, 27, suffered his third career defeat - and his second against Usyk - as he surrendered the IBF heavyweight crown to the Ukrainian. Usyk claimed the 24th win of his glittering career and his seventh consecutive triumph over British fighters. He reclaimed the IBF title to add to his WBA, WBO, and WBC belts - and said he owed it all to Ivan. 'Listen, we prepare for this fight with my team. We learn from first fight, we have a long time, two years, and we prepare a combination. You know the punch is named 'Ivan',' Usyk revealed. 'Left hook? A hook is like this (gesture), that is Ivan. It is Ukrainian name. Ivan is you know a big guy, who lives in a village, he is Kozak, you say, 'what is your name?' And he says, 'my name is Ivan,'. 'Yeah, it is a hard, hard punch, Ivan. It is a long time. Maybe first time is 2018? Yeah, first time. It was USA in cruiserweight. 'Now I want to go back home, now I want to do a choice over what next. I will continue in boxing, I will continue in training, but now I cannot say who next.' Asked if he thought of himself as one of the best of all time, Usyk replied: 'Ha, no. For me, UK is like a second home because this I take all my trophy. European (amateur) champion (in Liverpool), London 2012, Tony Bellew, Dereck Chisora, Anthony Joshua, three-time undisputed Dubois, I am very grateful for this country.' Dubois said: 'I have to commend him on his performance. I gave everything I had, probably a few things I could have sharpened up on, but take no credit away from the man. 'I was just fighting, I was in a fight and trying to pick up round by round. It is what it is, but I'll be back. I want to thank everyone for coming out. I gave my best, we'll go back to the drawing board and come again.' Dubois' promoter, Frank Warren, lavished praise on Usyk, saying: 'We witnessed one of the true modern-day legends tonight in action. Oleksandr Usyk for me is a heavyweight in any generation that would be an outstanding fighter. "I take my hat off to him in how he coped, how he showed such mental resilience in someone's back yard, he is something special. He is a special fighter. Daniel is obviously very disappointed, he is in the dressing room at the moment but he will come back.'

Ex-Celtic star's career transfer value could rise above £20m – after snubbing Prem move for historic Euro club
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EX-CELTIC loan star Timothy Weah is reportedly close to leaving Italian giants Juventus. The American, who joined the Hoops on-loan from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, is close to returning to France, with Marseille close to agreeing a deal for the American. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 4 Timothy Weah spent 6 months at Celtic in 2019 Credit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow 4 He has since went on to join Italian Giants Juventus, but is on the cusp of an exit there Credit: Getty 4 Roberto De Zerbi is a fan of the American, and Marseille are close to agreeing a deal for the ex-Celt Credit: Getty The 25-year-old snubbed Nottingham Forrest last Month, but is open to the prospect of rejoining Ligue 1 for the third time. He has plied his trade in Italy for two years, joining the Bianconeri from Lille in 2023 for just less than £10million. His career transfer value is set to sky-rocket now though as Juventus look set to pocket £13million plus add ons from Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille. The deal will likely be a loan deal with an option to buy, which could become an obligation if certain conditions are met, according to Football Italia. The French side finished runner's up to Weah's former side PSG last season, and will be in the Champions League in the upcoming campaign. Weah won the League and Cup double during his short spell in Glasgow, introducing his mum, the First Lady of Liberia, to Celtic Park for a clash against Kilmarnock. He featured 17 time in green and white, netting four goals and setting up another. He played with Celtic during Neil Lennon's second spell at the club. Lennon cut the American international's deal short though, despite Weah becoming a fan favourite at Parkhead. The winger was called up to The USA under 20's squad for the U20 World Cup , which would've seen him miss the Scottish Cup final. Celtic ace Timothy Weah filmed by teammate Kris Ajer rocking out to Nicki Minaj But Lennon decided to send Weah packing early, claiming it was in the "best interest of the team" if Weah's deal was cut short. Weah joined Lille on a permanent move after returning to his parent club, where he went on to make over 100 appearances, racking up 16 goal contributions. His appearances for Lille caught the eye of Juventus, whom he has played 78 times for. He has scored seven goals and set up the same amount of goals for the Italian giants. 4 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool transfer shows how much has changed since Jurgen Klopp rant
Jurgen Klopp previously claimed that Liverpool could not compete with the likes of Manchester City and PSG in the transfer market, but the Reds have spent big this summer Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Hugo Ekitike, with the striker set to earn Eintracht Frankfurt a huge fee that could exceed the €95million (£82.3m) they received when Randal Kolo Muani joined Paris Saint-Germain if all the add-ons are met. The Ekitike deal will take Liverpool's spending spree this summer to around £300m, which would make it the second-highest in a single transfer window in English football history behind Chelsea's in the summer of 2023. The Reds have already signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a British-record fee, while Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman have also made the move to Anfield this summer. Liverpool's spending comes just three years after former manager Jurgen Klopp claimed "no one can compete" in the transfer market with clubs like Manchester City, PSG and Newcastle, who are all state-owned. "Nobody can compete with City," he said in October 2022. "You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market, no matter what it costs, you just do it. I know City will not like it, nobody will like it. "You've asked the question but you know the answer. What does Liverpool do? We cannot act like them. It is not possible. Not possible. It is just clear and again you know the answer. There are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially. "It's legal and everything, fine, but they can do what they want. They will say 'yeah but we have...' but it's exactly the fact. I heard now that at Newcastle somebody said 'there is no ceiling for this club'. "Yes! He is right. He is absolutely right. There is no ceiling for Newcastle. Congratulations, but other clubs have ceilings." When Klopp left Liverpool in 2024, the Reds had the lowest net spend among the 'Big Six' clubs and they made just one signing in Arne Slot's first season in charge with Federico Chiesa joining from Juventus for around £12.5m. However, things have clearly changed this summer as Liverpool look to build on last season's successes. They are also England's most profitable club and have raised funds in recent seasons with the sales of Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg.
