TIM Tszyu married long-term partner Alexandra Constantine in 2016 – after the pair met at a boxing class.
Alexandra has been ringside at most of Tszyu‘s professional fights and is likely to be in the front row when her man takes on Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 19.

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.
