	Kostya Tszyu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The son of a fitter in a metal factory and a nurse, Tszyu was born in a town named Serov, near the Ural Mountains.
		Tszyu was hyperactive as a child, and his father decided to take him to a boxing gym, where he would channel that energy by fighting older boys.
		Tszyu has been slated for a possible 2006 rematch with Zab Judah at the welterweight division of 147lbs, but he has not yet made a decision as to whether he will continue boxing.

	Kostya Tszyu vs. Ben Tackie (May 18, 2002)
		Tszyu controlled the action from the outset and drilled Tackie repeatedly with a variety of searing left hands and whistling right crosses the kept the challenger off balance for almost the entire title fight.

		The victory for Kostya Tszyu may have lacked the fireworks of his second round destruction of Zab Judah but there was no escaping his talent and in Ben Tackie's case, the undisputed champion's lethal left jabs and ripping right crosses.

		Tszyu has demolished some seriously good opponents and his win over Sharmba Mitchell after almost two years off was shocking in its efficiency.
		Tszyu has been built up as a monster, but Mitchell was shot to pieces and Ricky would have dealt with him in the same way.
		Tszyu is so cool and calculated, he doesn't waste much energy on wild shots so I think, with the way Ricky cuts, the later the fight goes the more Tszyu will be favourite.

		Tszyu now says he is waiting to receive an official financial offer from Judah, who he beat in two rounds in 2001 in Las Vegas before Judah stepped up to rule the next division.
		For all his talk of possibly walking away, Kostya is still training, and his management is clearly open for business from representatives of Judah, who is aching to avenge a knock-out that he believed was premature.
