Tim Tszyu, the son of boxing legend Kostya Tszyu, has emerged as one of Australia's most exciting boxing prospects. Born on 2 November 1994 in Sydney, Tszyu has compiled an impressive professional record of 24 wins and 1 loss, with 17 wins coming by knockout.
Tszyu's recent bouts have seen him rise through the ranks, defeating notable opponents such as Jeff Horn, Dennis Hogan, and Takeshi Inoue. His first fight in the United States, a victory over former Olympian Terrell Gausha in March 2022, further solidified his status as a top contender in the light-middleweight division. Tszyu claimed the WBO interim light-middleweight title in March 2023 by stopping former WBC champion Tony Harrison.
Beyond his exploits in the ring, Tszyu's journey has captivated fans across Australia. His close-knit family, including his father Kostya and younger brother Nikita, who is also a professional boxer, has been a constant source of support and motivation.
