Australian boxer Tim Tszyu<\/a> has revealed he's undertaking a "different prep" ahead of his November fight with Japan's Takeshi Inoue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tszyu (19-0) will continue his path towards a world title fight when he takes on Inoue (17-1-1) on November 17.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old Inoue is coming off a four-fight winning streak and will also be eyeing a world title shot if he can get past Tszyu.<\/p>\n

Tszyu revealed his November showdown has challenged him to give his own conditioning a greater look due to the challenges Inoue poses.<\/p>\n

"It's a different prep this prep is all about conditioning, all about being grit, being strong, being able to last the 12 rounds because this guy's built like a brick wall," Tszyu told Main Event.<\/p>\n

"You're going to punch him, punch him, punch him and he's going to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n

"Those types of opponents are very hard to deal with at times.<\/p>\n

"Strategically I know what's going on, but for me, this fight's more about being in a crazy conditioning state."<\/p>\n

Prior to Tszyu confirming his fight with the Japanese boxer, the Australian had been linked to a bout with former American champion Tony Harrison.<\/p>\n

The fight was thought to be a done deal before negotiations broke down, leading to Tszyu's camp to enforce a 24-hour deadline for Harrison to sign the contract, which ultimately didn't happen.<\/p>\n

"It was frustrating at first because my mind was focused fully on Tony Harrison, and I was ready to get my hands on him and I was psyched because I knew it was going to be a good challenge," Tszyu said.<\/p>\n

"He's a good boxer. But, you know what, the ball moves on. You've got to keep adapting and overcome what obstacles are put in front of you and Takeshi Inoue is the next one.<\/p>\n

"I don't take a step back and he doesn't take a step back, and that's going to mean there's going to be a clash. It's going to be good."<\/p>\n
