Although based in Wollongong, Alexander extensively trains in New Zealand, visiting the City Kickboxing gym. The trip is about two and a half hours by flight, but he emphasizes the importance of training with top-level sparring partners and coaches, especially Eugene Bareman, Israel Adesanya, and others. His team environment fosters a family-like atmosphere where support extends beyond just the champions, creating a culture of camaraderie and relentless effort.
When at home, Alexander trains locally in a gym where he did his very first session. He highlights how the need for superior competition and diverse training styles pushed him to make the trip to New Zealand, constantly enhancing his skills against fighters of different backgrounds.
