And he has had a boost in his preparation for the bout thanks to an unusual diet, courtesy of his wife Nikita Bedwell.
The couple welcome their first child, named Curiosity, in June.
Tszyu took the decision to start eating his wife's placenta, and he has noticed some big benefits.
He told Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Cat & Woodsy: "I just had a baby.
"And my wife… we freeze-dried her placenta and I've been supplementing on her placenta recently… in tablet form.
"I've technically become a cannibal. It's actually like a superpower.
"I've done tests with my sparring – days where I've had it and days where I haven't – and it feels like I got all this crazy amount of energy."
The Aussie boxer, who is the son of former world champion Tim Tszyu, has not stopped at placenta, also deciding to drink his wife's breastmilk.
Asked if he had breastmilk, the fighter replied: "I have, I have.
The reporter interjected: "They reckon breast milk is the best thing you can have! It's so good for you, so clean."

Dillian Whyte turned up the heat with Moses Itauma during a tense face-off in Saudi Arabia demanding the young Brit 'drop the tough guy act' ahead of their heavyweight showdown
Dillian Whyte demanded Moses Itauma 'drop the tough guy act' during a tense face-off on Thursday ahead of their heavyweight bout. The veteran 'body snatcher', 37, will take on the highly-rated and undefeated youngster, 20, in the Riyadh Saturday showdown this weekend. And in their final press conference ahead of the much-anticipated fight, the rivals' disdain for each other was plain to see. As the pair stood face-to-face in front of the Saudi Arabian crowd, Itauma had the nerve to tell Whyte to remove his shades. 'Take off the glasses and show me those eyes,' he ordered. 'I want to see if they're a sheep's eyes or a wolf's.' The demand unsurprisingly prompted a fiery response from Whyte, who imitates a wolf's howl before embarking on his trademark ring walk. Warning Itauma, the British veteran boxer hit back: 'What you got to see my eyes for? Forget all that man. Don't try to act like the tough guy bro, be relaxed. 'Just be nice and cool. We can put our hands on each other on Saturday. 'Don't try to act the tough guy when we're being nice.' Despite his confidence, Whyte is going into the bout on Saturday as the underdog and will be hoping to cause an upset. The two-time former WBC interim heavyweight champion has a record of 31-3, winning his last three fights. He's bidding to be the first man to stop Itauma, who has a had a relentless start to his professional career with a logbook reading 12-0. But this week hasn't been all plain-sailing for Whyte ahead of what is a huge fight for him as he nears the end of his career. On Thursday the Brit was forced to confront announcer Thomas Schreiber after he accidentally dubbed him the 'baby snatcher', as opposed to his usual monikor of 'body snatcher' - a reference to his aggressive style of targeting the torso. 'Who was the announcer? I think it was Thomas Schreiber. Where is he? It's fight week. They're playing games,' Whyte joked with Secondsout, scanning the room for the announcer before calling him over. 'It's a Queensberry show. They're going to f*** with me. It ain't nothing new. It's crazy that he said that. Thomas Scheiber, I respect him as a professional, but clearly, he's unprofessional. Thomas, come here and speak to me. That's wild. I'll rush him - joking! What was with that, man?' Schreiber came over and was instantly in backtracking mode: 'I apologise. It was a mistake. I wrote it down and the wrong word came out. It was an honest mistake. 'For the rest of the week, it'll be "The Body Snatcher." Unfortunately, I only get one chance at it, and sometimes...' Whyte cheekily quipped: '[Maybe] the booty snatcher, but the baby snatcher is wild, bro.'

Gwendoline Christie is returning to Wednesday season 2 part 2
Gwendoline Christie, who portrayed Larissa Weems in Netflix's Wednesday, is confirmed to return for the final four episodes of season two, despite her character's death in the first season. Christie announced her comeback at a promotional event in Sydney, Australia, alongside co-stars Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers, teasing her return by saying, 'I was never gone. You just stopped looking.' Her character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, was killed off in the show's first season, a decision that many viewers criticized as 'pointless' and 'anticlimactic.' Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar had previously stated that Christie was 'totally on board' with her character's demise, finding it surprising. The new season of Wednesday, which has aired four episodes, will release its remaining episodes on September 3, with fans also anticipating more emotional expression from Jenna Ortega's lead character.
