Timofei Konstantinovich Tszyu[1] (born 2 November 1994) is an Australian professional boxer who held the Australian light-middleweight title in 2019 and is currently ranked No.1 Australia super welterweight by Boxrec.[2] He is the son of former world champion boxer Kostya Tszyu.[3]

Early life

Tszyu was born in Sydney, New South Wales, to Russian parents of Russian, Korean and Mongolian descent.[4] His father, Kostya, is a former undisputed light-welterweight champion who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.[5] Tim's first sporting interest began to develop at the age of six when enrolled in gymnastics and later switched sports to association football at the age of 10.[6] As a soccer player, he was selected to play for multiple local representative teams[7] but his interest in the sport began to wane at the age of 13 when he temporarily relocated to Moscow with his family for a few months before returning to Sydney. At the age of 15, Tim decided to quit football and began pursuing a career in boxing. He attended St George Christian School and Newington College throughout his teenage years[8] and enrolled in a business degree at the University of Technology Sydney following high school graduation.[9] His brother, Nikita, is also a professional boxer.[10]

Tszyu amassed an amateur boxing record of 33–1 before turning professional in 2016 at the age of 22.[11]
