Noongar boxer Alex Winwood has signed with Moxie Sports Management while confirming he will train out of Bethania Boxing Club in Magandjin's (Brisbane) south under coach Mark Wilson.

The move marks a fresh chapter for the 28-year-old after a narrow world title loss and a recent separation from his former team in Tweed Heads.

Winwood last stepped into the ring in Perth against Thailand's Thammanoon Niyomtrong for the WBA minimumweight title.

Despite being knocked down three times, Winwood fought back strongly in the later rounds, refusing to yield to the 24-0, eight-year titleholder.

Following the bout, Winwood told National Indigenous Times he would return stronger and chase another chance at a world title.

He said recovery from injury and differences over training direction led to his decision to leave his former gym.

"After the world title I was injured so I wasn't looking to see the year out and just recover," he said.

"My team at the time wanted me to get back in the ring in December and I was against that.

"There's no point because I wasn't allowed to spar up until the end of November with my nose injury that I had following the fight."

Winwood said the disagreement deepened as his coach questioned his commitment.

"I think there was just a lot of noise following the last bout and my trainer not thinking that I cared about the sport anymore, when I was giving it 100 per cent," he said.

After several months of reflection, Winwood reconnected with Mark Wilson - the coach who guided him to the Olympics - and said the reunion felt natural.

"Now I've landed with Mark Wilson, who took me to the Olympics and we've had a great friendship since I was 20 years old," he said.

"I like the way he trains and he's trained a lot of very skilled athletes and boxers.

"I think his style suits my ability more than my last head trainer."

Winwood said he is also enjoying the support of Moxie Sports Management, which has helped him balance boxing and full-time work.

"They understand that when I come to training and when I jump in the ring that that's when I'll face the pressure, but they're trying to keep the blinders on for me and let me do the work inside the ring rather than all the outside noise," he said.

Winwood plans to return to the ring before the end of the year at a catch-weight of 53 kilograms, before moving to the light-flyweight division in 2026.

He said his goal is to be ranked among the top ten and work towards another world title opportunity.

"My vision for the end of 2026 is to be rated within the top 10, hopefully the top five and look into an eliminator or another world title within 12 months after that," he said.
