'''Konstantin Borisovich''' "'''Kostya'''" '''Tszyu''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|s|t|ə|_|ˈ|z|uː}}; {{lang-ru|Константин Борисович "Костя" Цзю}}; born 19 September 1969) is a [[Russians in Australia|Soviet-born Australian]] former [[professional boxer]] who competed from 1992 to 2005. He held multiple [[light-welterweight]] world championships, including the [[undisputed champion|undisputed]] and [[lineal championship|lineal]] titles between 2001 and 2005. Tszyu was an exceptional all-around [[boxer-puncher]] who relied heavily on accuracy and timing, and carried formidable punching power; he is often regarded as one of the hardest-punching light-welterweights in the division's history.<ref>[http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/390939-ricky-hatton-recalls-kostya-tszyu-battle-10-years-later Ricky Hatton recalls Kostya Tszyu battle 10 years later – Ring TV]. Ringtv.craveonline.com (2015-06-03). Retrieved on 2016-06-03.</ref>
As an [[amateur boxing|amateur]], Tszyu represented the [[Soviet Union]], winning a bronze medal in the [[lightweight]] division at the [[1989 World Amateur Boxing Championships|1989 World Championships]], and gold in the light-welterweight division at the [[1991 World Amateur Boxing Championships|1991 World Championships]]. He also won consecutive gold medals at the [[1989 European Amateur Boxing Championships|1989]] and [[1991 European Amateur Boxing Championships|1991 European Championships]].
In 1995, Tszyu won his first of many professional world championships at light-welterweight—the [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] title—by defeating [[Jake Rodríguez]]. Five successful defences made until an upset loss to [[Vince Phillips]] in 1997, which was Tszyu's first professional defeat. He would spend the next eight years undefeated, winning the vacant [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] title in 1999 and the [[WBA (Super)]] title in 2001. Tszyu scored arguably his most famous win that year, when he [[knockout|knocked out]] [[Zab Judah]] to reclaim the IBF title, as well as the vacant [[The Ring (magazine)|''Ring'' magazine]] and lineal titles, thus becoming the first to [[list of undisputed boxing champions#Light welterweight|undisputed light-welterweight champion]] in over 30 years. In 2005, in what would be his final fight, Tszyu was [[technical knockout|stopped]] by [[Ricky Hatton]].
Tszyu is considered by many in Australia to be a national sports hero.<ref>[http://www.victoriawarehouse.com/blog/leisure/ricky-hatton-vs-kostya-tszyu.aspx Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu]. Victoria Warehouse (2015-06-09). Retrieved on 2016-06-03.</ref> In ''The Ring'''s March 2010 issue, Tszyu was ranked as the number one light-welterweight of the 2000s decade. In December 2010, he was inducted into the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] for the Class of 2011. From 2012 to 2013 he coached professional boxers [[Alexander Povetkin]], [[Denis Lebedev]] and [[Khabib Allakhverdiev]].<ref>[http://www.46tv.ru/line/kursk/005640/ Костя Дзю начнет работать с Александром Поветкиным]. 46tv.ru (5 June 2013)</ref>
==Early years and amateur career==
Tszyu was born in [[Serov (town)|Serov]], a town near the [[Ural Mountains]], in the former [[Soviet Union]] to a [[Koreans|Korean]] ([[Patrilineality|paternal]])–[[Mongols|Mongol]] ([[Maternal bond|maternal]]) father and a [[Russians|Russian]] mother. Tszyu's father was a fitter in a metal factory, whereas his mother was a nurse.<ref name="parents">{{cite news|url=http://rodstvo.ru/C/cereteli.htm#ЦЗЮ |publisher=RODSTVO.RU (Russian Genealogical Tree) |accessdate=1 January 2004 |script-title=ru:ЦЗЮ |language=Russian |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071027154647/http://rodstvo.ru/C/cereteli.htm |archivedate=27 October 2007 }}</ref>
As a child, Kostya was [[hyperactive]], so his father decided to take him to a boxing gym, where he would channel that energy by fighting older boys.<ref>{{cite book |title=Kostya: My Story |last= Tszyu |first= Kostya |author2=Malcolm Andrews |publisher= Bond University Press |isbn=0-7333-1592-5}}</ref> He impressed the Soviet amateur team coaches and he was sent to the Soviet Union's amateur boxing travelling training camps, where he visited more than 30 countries while training and fighting in tournaments. He trained with that group 250 days a year, and won various tournaments, such as amateur boxing's world championships. At the [[Cuba]]n world championship tournament in 1987, he came in second place, and at the [[1988 Summer Olympics]], he lost in the third round.<ref>[https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ts/kostya-tszyu-1.html Kostya Tszyu]. sports-reference.com</ref>
Tszyu was a member of the Soviet Army, but since he was selected as an ''elite athlete'', he was not required to serve the ordinary duty. He fought at the world championships once again, in Moscow in 1989, where he came in third place.
In 1991, he went again to the amateur world championships, this time held in Sydney. This was a trip that would change his life forever. Not only was the third time his charm, but he felt enchanted with the sights of Sydney and its people, and decided he wanted to live in Australia. Following the [[Collapse of the USSR|collapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, early the next year, Tszyu emigrated to Australia with his girlfriend, where they married in 1993 and became Australian citizens, settling in [[Sans Souci, New South Wales|Sans Souci]], Sydney. Before marrying her, though, Tszyu had already turned professional, beating [[Darrell Hiles]] by a [[knockout]] in one round on 1 March 1992, at [[Melbourne]].

===1992 Olympics===
He was the only Soviet boxer to win a gold medal at the 1991 World Championships in Sydney, which was quite an achievement. Immediately at the Championships he was approached by local boxing promoters and he has decided to pass up the [[1992 Barcelona Olympics]] in favor of a professional career in Australia. A week later he had signed with Australian promoter Bill Mordey as his manager and [[Johnny Lewis (boxing trainer)|Johnny Lewis]] as his trainer in Sydney. Tszyu finished his amateur career with 270 fights under his belt, with a record of 259 wins, 11 losses (no [[corner stoppage|stoppages]],) no draws. His pro debut was scheduled to take place in January 1992. Mordey described Tszyu as the best boxer he had seen in the past decade.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1991/11/29/sports/sports-people-boxing-tszyu-to-australia.html Boxing: Tszyu to Australia]. The New York Times, November 29, 1991, p. 12.</ref>
==Professional career==
Tszyu started raising his quality of opposition almost immediately. In his fourth professional bout, he met the former [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] [[Featherweight]] Champion [[Juan Laporte]], decisioning him over ten rounds. In his sixth bout, he beat contender [[Sammy Fuentes]] by a knockout in the first. Fuentes would go on to win a world title years after being handily beaten by Tszyu in 1993, [[Steve Larrimore]], Larry La Crousiere and Robert Rivera, went to Australia to fight Tszyu, and none lasted more than two rounds. The only man to last more than two rounds with Tszyu in 1993 was [[Livingstone Bramble]], a former World [[Lightweight]] Champion, who lost by decision to Tszyu at [[Newcastle, New South Wales]].
In 1994, [[Héctor López (boxer)|Héctor López]], [[Angel Hernandez (boxer)|Angel Hernandez]] (who had just come off of a loss after challenging [[Julio César Chávez]] for the WBC belt), and Pedro Chinito Sanchez from the [[Dominican Republic]] tried to beat Tszyu, but Tszyu beat Lopez by a decision in ten, Hernandez by a knockout in seven, and Sanchez by a knockout in four. After the win against Sanchez, Tszyu was ranked number one in the [[light welterweight]] division.
===WBC light-welterweight champion===
In 1995, he received his first world title shot when he fought [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] Light Welterweight Champion [[Jake Rodríguez]] at [[Las Vegas, Nevada]]. Tszyu became world champion by knocking Rodriguez out in the sixth round. He then defended the world title, beating former [[Super Featherweight]] and Light Welterweight World Champion [[Roger Mayweather]] by a decision in 12, Hugo Pineda by a knockout in 11, [[Cory Johnson]] by a knockout in four and Jan Bergman by a knockout in six. After this string of defences, Tszyu became a highly touted world Champion by many boxing magazines, and many articles about him appeared on ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'', ''[[KO Magazine]]'' and other [[United States|American]] boxing publications.
====Title defences====
1997 began for Tszyu when his defense against Leonardo Moro Mas was declared a no contest because Mas' camp protested that the blow that finished their fighter in the first round was actually thrown after referee Joe Cortez had called for a break. Undecided whether it was or was not after Cortez called for a break, the IBF and the [[Nevada Athletic Commission]] decided to declare it a no contest instead. For his next bout, however, Tszyu wasn't as lucky, and he lost for the first time, losing by a knockout in ten rounds to [[Vince Phillips]], who also took with that, Tzsyu's world championship.
After beating former world champions [[Calvin Grove]] (KO 1) and [[Rafael Ruelas]] (KO 9), Tszyu was given another world title try, when the WBC's belt became vacant in 1998 following [[Oscar De La Hoya]]'s move to the [[welterweight]] division. Tszyu found himself twice on the canvas in round one of his fight for the interim belt against [[Diosbelys Hurtado]], but recuperated to beat Hurtado by a knockout in five. He became world champion once again in 1999 by knocking out former world champion [[Miguel Ángel González (boxer)|Miguel Ángel González]] in ten, and twice retained it in 2000, beating [[Arizona]]'s fringe contender [[Ahmed Santos (newspaper columnist)|Ahmed Santos]] in eight, and a 38-year-old Mexican legend [[Julio César Chávez]], the former world champion, in six at [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. Kostya was interviewed by Ray Wheatley on YouTube in 2011 and stated he regards his win over Miguel Angel Gonzalez as his best ever performance.
===Undisputed light-welterweight champion===
Tszyu then began pursuing his wish to unify all the belts. In 2001, he began by facing [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] Champion [[Sharmba Mitchell]], taking the belt by a TKO after seven rounds (Mitchell suffered a knee injury in training, and during the bout). His next fight was against the [[Germans|German]] Turk, [[Oktay Urkal]]. Tszyu finished 2001 by recovering his IBF belt in a unification bout with the current champion [[Zab Judah]], by a knockout in the second round. A small melee inside the ring followed that fight when Judah attacked referee Jay Nady for what he felt was a premature stoppage, reacting by throwing his corner's seat at the referee and even trying to choke Nady with his glove at one point. However, replays clearly show Judah walking on wobbly legs. As a result, Tszyu became the first man in 30 years to unify the belts in the light welterweight division.
Tszyu in 2002 had only one bout, beating the top-ranked contender of all three of his belts, [[Ben Tackie]] of [[Ghana]] by a decision in twelve rounds. Tszyu lost only one round on only one of the judges scorecards in a masterful display of boxing.
On 19 January 2003, Tszyu began the year by retaining his title against former world champion [[Jesse James Leija]] by a knockout in six. After the fight, held in [[Melbourne, Australia|Melbourne]], Tszyu announced that fight could be his last in [[Australia]], due to pressure from promoters to fight in the [[United States]] (The win against Leija came on the birthday of Tszyu's son.).
===Tszyu vs. Mitchell II===
{{Main article|Kostya Tszyu vs. Sharmba Mitchell II}}
His first fight in 2004 was supposed to have been held on 7 February in a rematch against Sharmba Mitchell. It would have been Tszyu's first fight as a professional in Moscow, but Tszyu injured his shoulder during training. He had successful surgery to correct the problem, but the injury further extended his absence from the ring. On 6 November, he and Mitchell finally had their [[Tszyu vs. Mitchell II|rematch]], with Tszyu knocking Mitchell out once again, this time in three rounds. Tszyu was voted comeback fighter of the year by [[Ring magazine]]. The bout which was aired on American cable giant, [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]], actually made the end of year highlight reel on rival cable provider, [[HBO]]. This was unprecedented.
===Dethroned by Hatton===
{{Main article|Kostya Tszyu vs. Ricky Hatton}}
He next fought on 5 June 2005, against British boxer [[Ricky Hatton]], Tszyu lost this fight and his world title by RTD ([[Referee technical decision]]) after retiring on his stool at the end of the 11th round. He was also behind on all three cards (by 1, 3 and 5 points).
===Potential comeback===
On 30 January 2007 rumours spread of a Tszyu comeback. However, there was no confirmation. On April 2010, rumors about a possible comeback of Tszyu spread again.<ref>{{cite web

Tszyu appeared with the animals on the pet show ''[[Harry's Practice]]'' in 2002.
==Legal disputes==
Tszyu has been in several court battles with his managers. Most recently, his ex-manager Susie Bennell took him to court, alleging Tszyu owed her money. Tszyu was also ordered to repay $3.5 million to his former manager Bill Mordey in an unrelated civil suit.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071113211230/http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=255050&print=true Tszyu's cash fight]. ninemsn.com.au (March 16, 2007)</ref> In journalist [[Paul Kent (journalist)|Paul Kent's]] biography of long time trainer [[Johnny Lewis (boxing trainer)|Johnny Lewis]], allegations were made that Tszyu had underpaid Lewis for his services. The dispute was settled out of court.

'''Konstantin Borisovich''' "'''Kostya'''" '''Tszyu''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|s|t|ə|_|ˈ|z|uː}}; {{lang-ru|Константин Борисович "Костя" Цзю}}; born 19 September 1969) is a [[Russians in Australia|Soviet-born Australian]] former [[professional boxer]] who competed from 1992 to 2005. He held multiple [[light-welterweight]] world championships, including the [[undisputed champion|undisputed]] and [[lineal championship|lineal]] titles between 2001 and 2005. Tszyu was an exceptional all-around [[boxer-puncher]] who relied heavily on accuracy and timing, and carried formidable punching power; he is often regarded as one of the hardest-punching light-welterweights in the division's history.<ref>[http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/390939-ricky-hatton-recalls-kostya-tszyu-battle-10-years-later Ricky Hatton recalls Kostya Tszyu battle 10 years later – Ring TV]. Ringtv.craveonline.com (2015-06-03). Retrieved on 2016-06-03.</ref>
As an [[amateur boxing|amateur]], Tszyu represented the [[Soviet Union]], winning a bronze medal in the [[lightweight]] division at the [[1989 World Amateur Boxing Championships|1989 World Championships]], and gold in the light-welterweight division at the [[1991 World Amateur Boxing Championships|1991 World Championships]]. He also won consecutive gold medals at the [[1989 European Amateur Boxing Championships|1989]] and [[1991 European Amateur Boxing Championships|1991 European Championships]].
In 1995, Tszyu won his first of many professional world championships at light-welterweight—the [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] title—by defeating [[Jake Rodríguez]]. Five successful defences made until an upset loss to [[Vince Phillips]] in 1997, which was Tszyu's first professional defeat. He would spend the next eight years undefeated, winning the vacant [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] title in 1999 and the [[WBA (Super)]] title in 2001. Tszyu scored arguably his most famous win that year, when he [[knockout|knocked out]] [[Zab Judah]] to reclaim the IBF title, as well as the vacant [[The Ring (magazine)|''Ring'' magazine]] and lineal titles, thus becoming the first to [[list of undisputed boxing champions#Light welterweight|undisputed light-welterweight champion]] in over 30 years. In 2005, in what would be his final fight, Tszyu was [[technical knockout|stopped]] by [[Ricky Hatton]].
Tszyu is considered by many in Australia to be a national sports hero.<ref>[http://www.victoriawarehouse.com/blog/leisure/ricky-hatton-vs-kostya-tszyu.aspx Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu]. Victoria Warehouse (2015-06-09). Retrieved on 2016-06-03.</ref> In ''The Ring'''s March 2010 issue, Tszyu was ranked as the number one light-welterweight of the 2000s decade. In December 2010, he was inducted into the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] for the Class of 2011. From 2012 to 2013 he coached professional boxers [[Alexander Povetkin]], [[Denis Lebedev]] and [[Khabib Allakhverdiev]].<ref>[http://www.46tv.ru/line/kursk/005640/ Костя Дзю начнет работать с Александром Поветкиным]. 46tv.ru (5 June 2013)</ref>
==Early years and amateur career==
Tszyu was born in [[Serov (town)|Serov]], a town near the [[Ural Mountains]], in the former [[Soviet Union]] to a [[Koreans|Korean]] ([[Patrilineality|paternal]])–[[Mongols|Mongol]] ([[Maternal bond|maternal]]) father and a [[Russians|Russian]] mother. Tszyu's father was a fitter in a metal factory, whereas his mother was a nurse.<ref name="parents">{{cite news|url=http://rodstvo.ru/C/cereteli.htm#ЦЗЮ |publisher=RODSTVO.RU (Russian Genealogical Tree) |accessdate=1 January 2004 |script-title=ru:ЦЗЮ |language=Russian |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071027154647/http://rodstvo.ru/C/cereteli.htm |archivedate=27 October 2007 }}</ref>
As a child, Kostya was [[hyperactive]], so his father decided to take him to a boxing gym, where he would channel that energy by fighting older boys.<ref>{{cite book |title=Kostya: My Story |last= Tszyu |first= Kostya |author2=Malcolm Andrews |publisher= Bond University Press |isbn=0-7333-1592-5}}</ref> He impressed the Soviet amateur team coaches and he was sent to the Soviet Union's amateur boxing travelling training camps, where he visited more than 30 countries while training and fighting in tournaments. He trained with that group 250 days a year, and won various tournaments, such as amateur boxing's world championships. At the [[Cuba]]n world championship tournament in 1987, he came in second place, and at the [[1988 Summer Olympics]], he lost in the third round.<ref>[https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ts/kostya-tszyu-1.html Kostya Tszyu]. sports-reference.com</ref>
Tszyu was a member of the Soviet Army, but since he was selected as an ''elite athlete'', he was not required to serve the ordinary duty. He fought at the world championships once again, in Moscow in 1989, where he came in third place.
In 1991, he went again to the amateur world championships, this time held in Sydney. This was a trip that would change his life forever. Not only was the third time his charm, but he felt enchanted with the sights of Sydney and its people, and decided he wanted to live in Australia. Following the [[Collapse of the USSR|collapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, early the next year, Tszyu emigrated to Australia with his girlfriend, where they married in 1993 and became Australian citizens, settling in [[Sans Souci, New South Wales|Sans Souci]], Sydney. Before marrying her, though, Tszyu had already turned professional, beating [[Darrell Hiles]] by a [[knockout]] in one round on 1 March 1992, at [[Melbourne]].

===1992 Olympics===
He was the only Soviet boxer to win a gold medal at the 1991 World Championships in Sydney, which was quite an achievement. Immediately at the Championships he was approached by local boxing promoters and he has decided to pass up the [[1992 Barcelona Olympics]] in favor of a professional career in Australia. A week later he had signed with Australian promoter Bill Mordey as his manager and [[Johnny Lewis (boxing trainer)|Johnny Lewis]] as his trainer in Sydney. Tszyu finished his amateur career with 270 fights under his belt, with a record of 259 wins, 11 losses (no [[corner stoppage|stoppages]],) no draws. His pro debut was scheduled to take place in January 1992. Mordey described Tszyu as the best boxer he had seen in the past decade.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1991/11/29/sports/sports-people-boxing-tszyu-to-australia.html Boxing: Tszyu to Australia]. The New York Times, November 29, 1991, p. 12.</ref>
==Professional career==
Tszyu started raising his quality of opposition almost immediately. In his fourth professional bout, he met the former [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] [[Featherweight]] Champion [[Juan Laporte]], decisioning him over ten rounds. In his sixth bout, he beat contender [[Sammy Fuentes]] by a knockout in the first. Fuentes would go on to win a world title years after being handily beaten by Tszyu in 1993, [[Steve Larrimore]], Larry La Crousiere and Robert Rivera, went to Australia to fight Tszyu, and none lasted more than two rounds. The only man to last more than two rounds with Tszyu in 1993 was [[Livingstone Bramble]], a former World [[Lightweight]] Champion, who lost by decision to Tszyu at [[Newcastle, New South Wales]].
In 1994, [[Héctor López (boxer)|Héctor López]], [[Angel Hernandez (boxer)|Angel Hernandez]] (who had just come off of a loss after challenging [[Julio César Chávez]] for the WBC belt), and Pedro Chinito Sanchez from the [[Dominican Republic]] tried to beat Tszyu, but Tszyu beat Lopez by a decision in ten, Hernandez by a knockout in seven, and Sanchez by a knockout in four. After the win against Sanchez, Tszyu was ranked number one in the [[light welterweight]] division.
===WBC light-welterweight champion===
In 1995, he received his first world title shot when he fought [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] Light Welterweight Champion [[Jake Rodríguez]] at [[Las Vegas, Nevada]]. Tszyu became world champion by knocking Rodriguez out in the sixth round. He then defended the world title, beating former [[Super Featherweight]] and Light Welterweight World Champion [[Roger Mayweather]] by a decision in 12, Hugo Pineda by a knockout in 11, [[Cory Johnson]] by a knockout in four and Jan Bergman by a knockout in six. After this string of defences, Tszyu became a highly touted world Champion by many boxing magazines, and many articles about him appeared on ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'', ''[[KO Magazine]]'' and other [[United States|American]] boxing publications.
====Title defences====
1997 began for Tszyu when his defense against Leonardo Moro Mas was declared a no contest because Mas' camp protested that the blow that finished their fighter in the first round was actually thrown after referee Joe Cortez had called for a break. Undecided whether it was or was not after Cortez called for a break, the IBF and the [[Nevada Athletic Commission]] decided to declare it a no contest instead. For his next bout, however, Tszyu wasn't as lucky, and he lost for the first time, losing by a knockout in ten rounds to [[Vince Phillips]], who also took with that, Tzsyu's world championship.
After beating former world champions [[Calvin Grove]] (KO 1) and [[Rafael Ruelas]] (KO 9), Tszyu was given another world title try, when the WBC's belt became vacant in 1998 following [[Oscar De La Hoya]]'s move to the [[welterweight]] division. Tszyu found himself twice on the canvas in round one of his fight for the interim belt against [[Diosbelys Hurtado]], but recuperated to beat Hurtado by a knockout in five. He became world champion once again in 1999 by knocking out former world champion [[Miguel Ángel González (boxer)|Miguel Ángel González]] in ten, and twice retained it in 2000, beating [[Arizona]]'s fringe contender [[Ahmed Santos (newspaper columnist)|Ahmed Santos]] in eight, and a 38-year-old Mexican legend [[Julio César Chávez]], the former world champion, in six at [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. Kostya was interviewed by Ray Wheatley on YouTube in 2011 and stated he regards his win over Miguel Angel Gonzalez as his best ever performance.
===Undisputed light-welterweight champion===
Tszyu then began pursuing his wish to unify all the belts. In 2001, he began by facing [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] Champion [[Sharmba Mitchell]], taking the belt by a TKO after seven rounds (Mitchell suffered a knee injury in training, and during the bout). His next fight was against the [[Germans|German]] Turk, [[Oktay Urkal]]. Tszyu finished 2001 by recovering his IBF belt in a unification bout with the current champion [[Zab Judah]], by a knockout in the second round. A small melee inside the ring followed that fight when Judah attacked referee Jay Nady for what he felt was a premature stoppage, reacting by throwing his corner's seat at the referee and even trying to choke Nady with his glove at one point. However, replays clearly show Judah walking on wobbly legs. As a result, Tszyu became the first man in 30 years to unify the belts in the light welterweight division.
Tszyu in 2002 had only one bout, beating the top-ranked contender of all three of his belts, [[Ben Tackie]] of [[Ghana]] by a decision in twelve rounds. Tszyu lost only one round on only one of the judges scorecards in a masterful display of boxing.
On 19 January 2003, Tszyu began the year by retaining his title against former world champion [[Jesse James Leija]] by a knockout in six. After the fight, held in [[Melbourne, Australia|Melbourne]], Tszyu announced that fight could be his last in [[Australia]], due to pressure from promoters to fight in the [[United States]] (The win against Leija came on the birthday of Tszyu's son.).
===Tszyu vs. Mitchell II===
{{Main article|Kostya Tszyu vs. Sharmba Mitchell II}}
His first fight in 2004 was supposed to have been held on 7 February in a rematch against Sharmba Mitchell. It would have been Tszyu's first fight as a professional in Moscow, but Tszyu injured his shoulder during training. He had successful surgery to correct the problem, but the injury further extended his absence from the ring. On 6 November, he and Mitchell finally had their [[Tszyu vs. Mitchell II|rematch]], with Tszyu knocking Mitchell out once again, this time in three rounds. Tszyu was voted comeback fighter of the year by [[Ring magazine]]. The bout which was aired on American cable giant, [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]], actually made the end of year highlight reel on rival cable provider, [[HBO]]. This was unprecedented.
===Dethroned by Hatton===
{{Main article|Kostya Tszyu vs. Ricky Hatton}}
He next fought on 5 June 2005, against British boxer [[Ricky Hatton]], Tszyu lost this fight and his world title by RTD ([[Referee technical decision]]) after retiring on his stool at the end of the 11th round. He was also behind on all three cards (by 1, 3 and 5 points).
===Potential comeback===
On 30 January 2007 rumours spread of a Tszyu comeback. However, there was no confirmation. On April 2010, rumors about a possible comeback of Tszyu spread again.<ref>{{cite web

On 19 April 2010, Tszyu appeared on Long Lunch Today, an Australian TV program.

Tszyu married Natasha Anikina on 24 September 1993.<ref>{{cite book |title=Kostya: My Story |last= Tszyu |first= Kostya |author2=Malcolm Andrews |publisher= Bond University Press |isbn=0-7333-1592-5 |page= 115}}</ref> He has three children; Anastasia, Nikita and [[Tim Tszyu|Tim]].

Tszyu is an animal lover who owns several pets including Viking, a [[rottweiler]] who has been Tszyu's companion since he arrived in Australia; Jake, his pet [[diamond python]]; [[Domestic Canary|canaries]] and [[fish]]. Tszyu appeared with the animals on the pet show ''[[Harry's Practice]]'' in 2002.
==Legal disputes==
Tszyu has been in several court battles with his managers. Most recently, his ex-manager Susie Bennell took him to court, alleging Tszyu owed her money. Tszyu was also ordered to repay $3.5 million to his former manager Bill Mordey in an unrelated civil suit.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071113211230/http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=255050&print=true Tszyu's cash fight]. ninemsn.com.au (March 16, 2007)</ref> In journalist [[Paul Kent (journalist)|Paul Kent's]] biography of long time trainer [[Johnny Lewis (boxing trainer)|Johnny Lewis]], allegations were made that Tszyu had underpaid Lewis for his services. The dispute was settled out of court.

<p>Tszyu was born in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Serov_(town)" title="Serov (town)">Serov</a>, a town near the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ural_Mountains" title="Ural Mountains">Ural Mountains</a>, in the former <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> to a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Koreans" title="Koreans">Korean</a> (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Patrilineality" title="Patrilineality">paternal</a>)–<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Mongols" title="Mongols">Mongol</a> (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Maternal_bond" title="Maternal bond">maternal</a>) father and a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Russians" title="Russians">Russian</a> mother. Tszyu's father was a fitter in a metal factory, whereas his mother was a nurse.<sup id="cite_ref-parents_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-parents-4">[4]</a></sup>
</p><p>As a child, Kostya was <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hyperactive" class="mw-redirect" title="Hyperactive">hyperactive</a>, so his father decided to take him to a boxing gym, where he would channel that energy by fighting older boys.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> He impressed the Soviet amateur team coaches and he was sent to the Soviet Union's amateur boxing travelling training camps, where he visited more than 30 countries while training and fighting in tournaments. He trained with that group 250 days a year, and won various tournaments, such as amateur boxing's world championships. At the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuban</a> world championship tournament in 1987, he came in second place, and at the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1988_Summer_Olympics" title="1988 Summer Olympics">1988 Summer Olympics</a>, he lost in the third round.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup>
</p><p>Tszyu was a member of the Soviet Army, but since he was selected as an <i>elite athlete</i>, he was not required to serve the ordinary duty. He fought at the world championships once again, in Moscow in 1989, where he came in third place.
</p><p>In 1991, he went again to the amateur world championships, this time held in Sydney. This was a trip that would change his life forever. Not only was the third time his charm, but he felt enchanted with the sights of Sydney and its people, and decided he wanted to live in Australia. Following the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Collapse_of_the_USSR" class="mw-redirect" title="Collapse of the USSR">collapse of the Soviet Union</a> in 1991, early the next year, Tszyu emigrated to Australia with his girlfriend, where they married in 1993 and became Australian citizens, settling in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sans_Souci,_New_South_Wales" title="Sans Souci, New South Wales">Sans Souci</a>, Sydney. Before marrying her, though, Tszyu had already turned professional, beating <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Darrell_Hiles" title="Darrell Hiles">Darrell Hiles</a> by a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Knockout" title="Knockout">knockout</a> in one round on 1 March 1992, at <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Melbourne" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a>.

<p>He was the only Soviet boxer to win a gold medal at the 1991 World Championships in Sydney, which was quite an achievement. Immediately at the Championships he was approached by local boxing promoters and he has decided to pass up the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1992_Barcelona_Olympics" class="mw-redirect" title="1992 Barcelona Olympics">1992 Barcelona Olympics</a> in favor of a professional career in Australia. A week later he had signed with Australian promoter Bill Mordey as his manager and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Johnny_Lewis_(boxing_trainer)" title="Johnny Lewis (boxing trainer)">Johnny Lewis</a> as his trainer in Sydney. Tszyu finished his amateur career with 270 fights under his belt, with a record of 259 wins, 11 losses (no <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Corner_stoppage" class="mw-redirect" title="Corner stoppage">stoppages</a>,) no draws. His pro debut was scheduled to take place in January 1992. Mordey described Tszyu as the best boxer he had seen in the past decade.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup>

<p>In 1995, he received his first world title shot when he fought <a href="/enwiki/wiki/International_Boxing_Federation" title="International Boxing Federation">IBF</a> Light Welterweight Champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jake_Rodr%C3%ADguez" title="Jake Rodríguez">Jake Rodríguez</a> at <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Las_Vegas,_Nevada" class="mw-redirect" title="Las Vegas, Nevada">Las Vegas, Nevada</a>.

<p>1997 began for Tszyu when his defense against Leonardo Moro Mas was declared a no contest because Mas' camp protested that the blow that finished their fighter in the first round was actually thrown after referee Joe Cortez had called for a break. Undecided whether it was or was not after Cortez called for a break, the IBF and the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Nevada_Athletic_Commission" title="Nevada Athletic Commission">Nevada Athletic Commission</a> decided to declare it a no contest instead. For his next bout, however, Tszyu wasn't as lucky, and he lost for the first time, losing by a knockout in ten rounds to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Vince_Phillips" title="Vince Phillips">Vince Phillips</a>, who also took with that, Tzsyu's world championship.
</p><p>After beating former world champions <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Calvin_Grove" title="Calvin Grove">Calvin Grove</a> (KO 1) and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Rafael_Ruelas" title="Rafael Ruelas">Rafael Ruelas</a> (KO 9), Tszyu was given another world title try, when the WBC's belt became vacant in 1998 following <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Oscar_De_La_Hoya" title="Oscar De La Hoya">Oscar De La Hoya</a>'s move to the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Welterweight" title="Welterweight">welterweight</a> division. Tszyu found himself twice on the canvas in round one of his fight for the interim belt against <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Diosbelys_Hurtado" title="Diosbelys Hurtado">Diosbelys Hurtado</a>, but recuperated to beat Hurtado by a knockout in five. He became world champion once again in 1999 by knocking out former world champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Miguel_%C3%81ngel_Gonz%C3%A1lez_(boxer)" title="Miguel Ángel González (boxer)">Miguel Ángel González</a> in ten, and twice retained it in 2000, beating <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a>'s fringe contender <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ahmed_Santos_(newspaper_columnist)" title="Ahmed Santos (newspaper columnist)">Ahmed Santos</a> in eight, and a 38-year-old Mexican legend <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Julio_C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez" title="Julio César Chávez">Julio César Chávez</a>, the former world champion, in six at <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona" title="Phoenix, Arizona">Phoenix, Arizona</a>.

<p>Tszyu then began pursuing his wish to unify all the belts. In 2001, he began by facing <a href="/enwiki/wiki/World_Boxing_Association" title="World Boxing Association">WBA</a> Champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sharmba_Mitchell" title="Sharmba Mitchell">Sharmba Mitchell</a>, taking the belt by a TKO after seven rounds (Mitchell suffered a knee injury in training, and during the bout). His next fight was against the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Germans" title="Germans">German</a> Turk, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Oktay_Urkal" title="Oktay Urkal">Oktay Urkal</a>. Tszyu finished 2001 by recovering his IBF belt in a unification bout with the current champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Zab_Judah" title="Zab Judah">Zab Judah</a>, by a knockout in the second round. A small melee inside the ring followed that fight when Judah attacked referee Jay Nady for what he felt was a premature stoppage, reacting by throwing his corner's seat at the referee and even trying to choke Nady with his glove at one point. However, replays clearly show Judah walking on wobbly legs. As a result, Tszyu became the first man in 30 years to unify the belts in the light welterweight division.
</p><p>Tszyu in 2002 had only one bout, beating the top-ranked contender of all three of his belts, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ben_Tackie" title="Ben Tackie">Ben Tackie</a> of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ghana" title="Ghana">Ghana</a> by a decision in twelve rounds. Tszyu lost only one round on only one of the judges scorecards in a masterful display of boxing.
</p><p>On 19 January 2003, Tszyu began the year by retaining his title against former world champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jesse_James_Leija" title="Jesse James Leija">Jesse James Leija</a> by a knockout in six.
