Australian boxer<\/a> Brock Jarvis<\/a> has split with\ufeff with long-time trainer Jeff Fenech<\/a> as he plans a shock move up to Las Vegas in a bid to move up in weight.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Sydneysider parted ways amicably with Fenech although they reportedly fell out over his fighting weight, with the 21-1(19KO's) fighter looking to move up.<\/p>\n

Jarvis was seen as a genuine world title contender at super featherweight in 2021 but moved up to super lightweight in October last year to fight fellow Aussie Liam Paro, copping a first round knockout.<\/p>\n

In his bounce back fight, Jarvis took on Marlon Paniamogan, a tough Filipino fighter who almost dropped the Aussie in the second round of his No Limit headliner, leaving him dazed. But Jarvis fought back for a stoppage win, a performance Fenech described as "special."<\/p>\n

But now Jarvis wants to move up in weight again and will fight\ufeff at either super welterweight or middleweight, which could be a jump of 9kg, a massive risk for a fighter who has been rocked by fighters at a lower weight in his last two fights.<\/p>\n

That's what sparked Fenech's opposition to the move, however, Jarvis is said to be done with stripping down in weight, citing a notable impact on his power in the ring.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Right throughout my career, I've always cut a lot of weight," he told Fox Sports.<\/p>\n

"Been battling the scales for years now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"And I actually feel like I've been going too light and that's affecting my performance.<\/p>\n

"So I want to try something different.<\/p>\n

"And middleweight, junior middleweight, I feel I can campaign there for some time."<\/p>\n

Jarvis will travel to Las Vegas on his own and spar at a few gyms in a bid to find the right fit for him moving forward.<\/p>\n

Wide World of Sports contacted Fenech for comment and he acknowledged the split.<\/p>\n

The situation also hits Fenech on a personal level with Jarvis, with the 25-year-old ending his relationship with Fenech's daughter Kayla a few months back.<\/p>\n
