Soviet, Russian and Australian boxer, three-time champion of the USSR (1989-1991), two-time European champion (1989, 1991) and world champion (1991) among amateurs, absolute world champion (according to WBC/WBA/IBF) among professionals. Honored Master of Sports of the USSR (1991).

Father - Boris Timofeevich Tszyu, worked at a metallurgical plant.

Mother - Valentina Vladimirovna Tszyu, was a nurse.

He got the surname Tszyu from his great-grandfather Innocent, who was a purebred Korean who came to Russia from China.

When Kostya was nine years old, his father brought him to the boxing section of the Youth Sports School.

In 1986 he entered the Sverdlovsk Engineering and Pedagogical Institute (SIPI). Having successfully passed the tests and exams, he left his studies in February 1987.

From 1988 to 1990 - private in the support battalion of the Oryol Higher Military Command School of Communications named after. M. I. Kalinina KGB USSR (OVVKUS).

In 2012 he graduated with honors (among the 5 best graduates of the year) from Ural federal university, then defended his PhD thesis at the Department of Fundamentals of Physical Education of Tyumen State University.

Konstantin Tszyu started boxing at the age of nine under the leadership of Vladimir Cherny.

In 1986 and 1987 he was the champion of the USSR among juniors. In 1988 he participated in Olympic Games in Seoul, reached the quarterfinals at these competitions, where he lost to the future champion Andreas Ziulow from the GDR.

In 1989 and 1991 he became European champion, and in 1990 he won the Goodwill Games in Seattle.

In 1991 he won the world championship in Sydney. In the final of this tournament, he was able to defeat future professional world champion Vernon Forrest. In total, in the amateur ring, Tszyu won 270 victories in 282 fights.

Konstantin Tszyu's performance at the World Championships in Sydney impressed Australian coach Johnny Lewis and promoter Bill Mordy. They invited him to return to Australia and turn professional. He accepted the offer and on March 1 he was already performing in the professional ring. In Melbourne, his opponent was the champion of the Australian state of Queensland, Darrell Hiles, who lasted less than two minutes against him.

In the fourth fight, Tszyu faced former world champion Juan La Porte, who held out against Tszyu until the end of the ten-round fight. In the sixth fight, Tszyu met with future world champion Sammy Fuentes and defeated him by technical knockout in the first round. In August 1993, Tszyu defeated former world champion Livingston Bramble.

On January 28, 1995, in Las Vegas, Nevada, a fight took place against IBF champion Jake Rodriguez. After four knockdowns in the sixth round, Tszyu became the new IBF world champion.

Five months later, a fight took place against former two-weight world champion Roger Mayweather. The fight, which Tszyu won, lasted 12 rounds with his full advantage.

At the end of 1995, Tszyu fired promoter Bill Mordy and replaced him with Vlad Wharton. Mordi sued and won compensation from Tszyu in the amount of several million dollars.

The next fight was supposed to take place against Colombian Hugo Pineda, who was the IBF mandatory challenger, in Cartagena (Colombia). Tszyu refused to go to Colombia due to the unstable situation (the government's war with the guerrillas). The IBF announced the possibility of stripping him of his title. Tszyu’s managers went to court, they managed to retain the championship title and transfer the fight to Australia.

Hugo Pineda knocked Tszyu down with a sharp right hand in the first round (the knockdown was easy: after the blow, Tszyu only touched the floor with his knee and immediately stood up). But from the second round Pineda began to lose, in the fourth round he suffered the first knockdown, and at the end of the seventh - in the second. In the eleventh round and after the fifth knockdown, when Pineda sat on the floor near the ropes, the referee stopped the fight.

Tszyu then defeated Corey Johnson (fourth round knockout) and South African Jan Bergman (sixth round technical knockout). He gained a reputation as the strongest welterweight boxer.

In the next fight, in the first round, he knocked down Puerto Rican Leonardo Mas three times, but the referee decided that the third knockdown was the result of a blow delivered after the bell. Subsequently, the Athletic Commission recognized a technical draw, but Kostya Tszyu retains the IBF champion title. Tszyu's manager later protested and the result was annulled. The draw was crossed out.

On May 31, 1997, Tszyu made another defense of his title against experienced boxer Vince Philips. It was believed that Tszyu would win. However, from the very beginning the battle took place in a very stubborn and equal struggle. By the eighth round, the initiative had completely passed to Phillips. In the tenth round, the referee declared Phillips' victory by technical knockout.

After losing the title, Tszyu had to start over. He consecutively defeated Ismael Armand Chavez (third round TKO) and former world champion Calvin Grove (first round TKO). Then in a WBC qualifying fight he defeated another former champion- Rafael Ruelas.

On November 28, 1998, a duel took place with Diosbelis Hurtado, which ended in Tszyu’s victory in the fifth round.

On August 21, 1999, Konstantin Tszyu defeated Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Since Julio Cesar Chavez refused a rematch with Gonzalez, preferring a re-fight with Oscar De La Hoya, the WBC 1st welterweight title was played between Konstantin Tszyu and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Tszyu dominated the entire fight. In the 5th round, he beat the Mexican badly, but he survived. At the beginning of the 10th round, the corner asked the referee to stop the fight.

In February 2000, Tszyu knocked out Ahmed Santos in the 8th round.

In July 2000, Tszyu entered the ring against former multiple champion in several weights, Julio Cesar Chavez. At the beginning of the 6th round, Chavez hit Tszyu in the groin. The referee deducted a point from the Mexican. Immediately after the fight continued, Tszyu hit Chavez in the head with a double and he ended up on the floor. The Mexican stood at the count of 7. The fight continued. Tszyu immediately attacked Chavez. Chavez began to attack himself. Tszyu was more successful in the exchange - a significant part of his shots hit the target. Tszyu pinned Chavez against the ropes and began to finish. Chavez's corner intervened and the referee stopped the fight. Tszyu’s team, without waiting for the official announcement of the result, left the ring, fearing the audience cheering for Chavez.

In February 2001, a welterweight unification fight took place between WBC belt holders Konstantin Tszyu and WBA Sharmba Mitchell. At the end of the 4th round, Tszyu and Mitchell came together in a clinch, after which Tszyu pushed his opponent, and he fell to the canvas. Referee Joe Cortez removed Tszyu for this point. In the middle of the 7th round, the opponents clashed in another clinch. Mitchell got out of it unsuccessfully, twisting his left leg and limping. Mitchell was able to reach the bell, but during the break between rounds the corner withdrew his fighter, citing a leg injury. Tszyu won by technical knockout.

Tszyu then defended his titles against WBC challenger Oktay Urkal.

In November 2001, a fight for the title of absolute champion in the 1st welterweight took place between Konstantin Tszyu and Zab Judah. The entire elite of modern American boxing, led by Mike Tyson, came out to support Judah in this fight. Tszyu had to experience enormous moral and psychological pressure before the start of the fight, and he coped with it brilliantly. Despite the fact that Judah pretty much crushed Konstantin in the 1st round, at the very end of the 2nd round (8 seconds before the end of the round) Tszyu sent the American to the canvas. Judah stood up and immediately fell again because his legs were spreading (as Vladimir Gendlin commented, “legs like spaghetti”). With his legs he performed incredible pretzels like a fantastic dancer, referee Jay Nady had no choice but to immediately stop the fight. Having come to his senses, Judah, who did not agree with this, protested furiously, throwing a tantrum in the ring.

In 2002, there was a fight with Ghanaian boxer Ben Taki. Taki tried to force a fight at a distance. The fight lasted 12 rounds, ending with Tszyu’s victory, which all the judges agreed with.

On January 19, 2003, Tszyu entered the ring against Jesse James Leahy. Tszyu dominated the fight. During the break between the 6th and 7th rounds, Leahy's corner refused to continue the fight due to a suspected ruptured eardrum in his fighter.

In November 2004, the second fight took place between Konstantin Tszyu and Sharmba Mitchell. In the middle of the 2nd round, Tszyu landed a left cross to the head. Mitchell staggered. Tszyu rushed to finish him off, pressing him to the ropes and throwing a series of blows to the head. Mitchell tried to clinch, but missed several punches and fell. The referee counted the knockdown. Mitchell rose to the count of 6. Tszyu tried to finish off his opponent, but Mitchell held out until the gong. At the beginning of the 3rd round, Tszyu landed a left cross to the jaw, and the challenger fell with his back on the canvas. Mitchell stood up at the last moment. Tszyu began to aim the blow. At the end of the 3rd round, the champion again hit the challenger in the jaw with a left cross. He stepped back, pressing himself against the ropes. Tszyu started bombing him. After missing several episodes, Mitchell took a knee. The referee called a knockdown. Mitchell rose to the count of 7. Tszyu immediately pressed him against the ropes again and threw two deuces to the head. The challenger fell back into the ring. The referee stopped the fight without opening the score.

In June 2005, Tszyu entered the ring against the undefeated Briton Ricky Hatton. The fight took place in England. Hatton, nicknamed “The Hitman,” imposed his style on Kostya. Objectively, Hatton’s moral-volitional qualities and physical condition were higher. The ring officials took Ricky's position and did not reproach him for his countless violations of the rules. Thanks to dirty boxing, he not only outplayed tactically, but first of all psychologically broke Kostya. Also, Kostya’s condition was greatly influenced by the surprisingly silence of the judge, who allowed Hatton to fight in such a dirty style. During the break between the 11th and 12th rounds, Tszyu’s corner removed his boxer from the fight.

After this fight, Tszyu decided to end his professional boxing career.

Konstantin Tszyu developed his own methods of training professional boxers, which he successfully used for several years while living in Australia. Returning to his homeland, Konstantin began to regularly conduct master classes, demonstrating his training methods, and train famous Russian athletes.

In mid-2012, Konstantin was already training three famous Russian boxers: Denis Lebedev, Khabib Allahverdiev and Alexander Povetkin.

In the spring-summer of 2009, the absolute world boxing champion Konstantin Tszyu came up with a civil initiative to help develop children's sports in Russia by organizing a number of sports schools its name throughout the country. To popularize this initiative, as well as in honor of the 75th anniversary of the “Young Dynamo” educational and sports movement, charitable foundation Kostya Tszyu, together with international fund"Phoenix" and other organizations organized the Moscow - Novorossiysk motor rally.

In July 2009, at the base sports club“FitnessMania” (Moscow, Leninsky Prospekt, 146) opened the first Kostya Tszyu Boxing School in Russia.

Since February 2010 - manager of NL International.

On April 9, 2010, Konstantin headed the editorial board of the first in Russia electronic journal about martial arts Fight Magazine.

June 12, 2011 Kostya Tszyu was included in the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a person who made a huge contribution to the development of this sport. On the same day, American actor and film director, former Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, coach Ignacio “Nacho” Berishtein and famous referee Joe Cortez received a similar honor.

Personal life of Kostya Tszyu:

Was married twice.

The first wife is Natalya Leonidovna Tszyu (born 1972). We met in the early 1990s in Serov. In a cafe, a young athlete noticed a beauty and immediately came up to meet her. The boxer, according to him, courted his chosen one for a long time, and decided to kiss her only six months later.

The marriage produced three children - two sons (Timofey and Nikita) and a daughter, Nastya.

Second wife - Tatyana Averina. She has a son from a previous relationship, with whom Kostya found a common language. They got married on December 30, 2014, and the celebration took place in a small circle on February 28, 2015.

At the beginning of 2015, the couple had a son, Alexander, and in November 2016, a daughter, Victoria.

Natalya is unable to communicate with anyone today ex-husband, nor with his parents, although they, Valentina and Boris Tszyu, also live in Sydney. She doesn’t prohibit her children from seeing them, but she herself has cut off all contact. “She is offended by them because they could not guide their son on the right path, explain to him that he should not leave his family,” says Natalya’s mother, Valentina Anikina. - Nobody could contradict him. Why did this happen? You need to ask Kostya. It's not my daughter's fault. She raised the kids and looked after the house. And he found himself 10 years younger..."

The famous boxer's divorce took place in December 2013; he himself did not come to Sydney for the court hearing. For several years, Konstantin hid from his wife that he was in love with someone else. And then he made a choice. “StarHit” found out how the family’s life was shaping up after Kostya’s departure.

Money is melting before our eyes

68-year-old Valentina Anikina lives in the city of Serov, Sverdlovsk region, with the family of her eldest granddaughter, the daughter of Natalya Tszyu’s brother. And although my heart bleeds, I’m so worried about Natasha, I’m afraid to fly to Australia. Once upon a time I traveled with my husband Leonid; he died last summer. He misses his grandchildren living in Sydney greatly. I saw them when they were little. But when he calls his daughter, he often asks about them. He knows that the eldest, 19-year-old Timofey, went with friends on a trip to Thailand and China in January, and earned everything himself - he is a salesman in a fresh-squeezed juice store. The middle one, 16-year-old Nikita, is interested in boxing, like his dad. And the youngest, 12-year-old Nastya, plays the piano. Now, after the divorce, Natalya also shares her problems and concerns with her mother.

“Kostya doesn’t help Natasha with money,” Valentina Sergeevna tells StarHit. – In Australia they are not forced to pay alimony, only at will. But he left her his business of selling T-shirts and boxing gloves and real estate: two villas and the house in which they lived...” That same December, immediately after the divorce, Natalya sold the house in which, as it seemed to her, they lived so happily more than 10 years. Everything about him reminded him of his husband. In addition, it became clear that she simply could not afford to maintain this cottage any longer. “You need to invest money in it - to take care of lawns and trees,” Natalya’s mother continues. “So she moved with her children into a rented three-room apartment, paying $800 a week in rent. And in the future he plans to buy a living space.”

From the sale of the house they managed to earn a substantial amount - $2.9 million. Part of these funds goes to the maintenance of the villas; the family plans to rent them out, but there are no tenants yet. As Valentina Sergeevna says, money melts like snow on a summer day, Natasha tries to save. I transferred Nikita from a fee-paying school to a regular school, but left Nastya there. “It’s good that Nikita is in his final year, and Tim is already in college,” says the grandmother.

Yoga against stress

Kostya Tszyu periodically calls the children and asks how they are doing. Last time he was in Sydney last November for Timofey's birthday. And earlier, in the summer, the eldest son visited his dad in Moscow for a few days, but he didn’t want to stay in the apartment where he lived with his new lover - he spent the night in a hotel.

Natalya has no plans to return to Russia. For 20 years, Australia became her home country, and the children got used to the local way of life. All three of them morally support my mother and feel sorry for her. IN free time they ride a boat together, go to aqua and amusement parks.

Now 41-year-old Natalya is looking for work. She has two diplomas - an accountant and a sales manager. She would like to get a job according to her profile. As her mother tells StarHit, Natalya goes to a local health center and does yoga. She carefully monitors her figure, although, judging by the photographs, she does not have extra pounds. “At least it’s somehow distracting, it relieves stress! The story with this Tanya began with Kostya a long time ago, about six years ago. Of course, after some time Natasha noticed strange text messages and calls. I was very worried,” Valentina Sergeevna laments. “As long as she doesn’t have a man, the children come first, they need to get on their feet, the work issue can be resolved, and then you can dream about your personal life...”

Konstantin Tszyu is a popular Russian boxer. He currently serves as a coach. Everyone knows about his sporting merits and his unsurpassed fights. But many of his fans are interested not only sport life Bones, but also his personal. We'll talk about her.

Kostya Tszyu

Tszyu was married to Natalya for 20 years. But in 2013, the boxer filed for divorce from his wife. So the 44-year-old athlete became an eligible bachelor. About the reasons for divorce for a long time nothing was known. But soon information appeared about the athlete’s new lover. It turned out that even before the divorce he met with Tatyana Averina. Moreover, the spouses separated different sides long before the official divorce.

Back in 2005, a misunderstanding arose between the spouses. Konstantin was going through a difficult period in his life, he needed support loved one. But Natalya, instead of helping her husband by being next to him, chose a different path - she decided to leave her husband alone and go to work. Tszyu regarded this act as indifference. Since then, tense relationships began to develop in the family.

But Natalya still does not understand and does not accept her guilt. Yes, she never liked her husband’s hobby; she dreamed that he would end his career as soon as possible. But all this was done for the sake of family, children and a quiet life. By the way, Kostya and Natasha have three children. After the divorce, the boxer left all his property to them.

As mentioned earlier, Konstantin has been dating another woman, Tatyana, for a long time. Natalya found out about her husband’s new lover almost immediately; you can’t hide anything from a woman. And Kostya himself did not want to lie to his wife.

Kostya Tszyu and Tatyana Averina

The boxer met Averina in 2006 at another party. Tatyana is 10 years younger than Kostya and has a child from her first marriage. As for the marriage of two lovers, there is no question of this. The boxer no longer wants to sign. He agrees to live together, have children and be a full-fledged family, but without a stamp.

Kostya Tszyu gave a frank interview about returning from Australia to Russia, a “difficult” divorce and showed off his new lover. PHOTO

The world-famous boxer, a native of the Sverdlovsk region, Kostya Tszyu gave a long interview in which he frankly spoke about his divorce from his wife Natalya and his move from Australia to Russia.

According to Tszyu, now he is getting used to it again and learning to live in Russia. “I didn’t think I’d come back here, but I came back and I’m ready to start from scratch. I wanted this divorce for many months. I understood that everything needed to be streamlined and brought to the correct denominator. And now, finally, it has grown together, and I, Kostya Tszyu, seem to have to revel in my freedom, absolute and unlimited. But something doesn’t let you in... Something subconscious that you feel, but cannot define. A similar feeling came to me several years ago when I was relaxing in my big house in Australia. In one that is difficult to dream of not only in my native Serov, Sverdlovsk region, but even in Moscow. Spacious rooms, tennis court, sauna, swimming pool, fountains... There are 7 toilets alone! The neighbors are wonderful. For example, Hollywood star Russell Crowe, whom I advised on the film Knockdown, is the nicest person. And nature! Two steps away is the sound of the eternal ocean. I have everything: three beautiful children, a wife, titles that many boxers can only dream of... I am an absolute champion and honored to be included in the top ten world boxing legends of all times. I even have a pet boa constrictor! Because I wanted it to be! Well, I’m sitting in my “palace” with seven toilets, watching TV, a boa constrictor is dozing on me... And everything seems to be fine, right, but something is wrong!” - says the boxer.

According to him, he could not come to terms with the fact that he was turning into a meek Australian pensioner. “I even hate weekends! I need to be busy with something, move somewhere. I'm a man of action. And there was one continuous day off,” Tszyu is indignant.

The reason for Tszyu’s move to Russia was his broken marriage with his wife Natalya, with whom he lived for more than 20 years. The boxer cites his losing fight with Ricky Hatton in 2005 as part of the trigger for the separation. “I lost. It's a terrible feeling when you win all the time, and then - time! – and you lose ground under your feet. Everything you were always sure of no longer works,” says the athlete. - Then, after the defeat with Ricky Hatton, I needed ordinary human support. But the children are busy with their own things, Natasha fell headlong into another study and attempts to start a business... She is always learning something. First he masters one specialty, then another...

I tried to express my grievances, sought dialogue, but no one heard me. All my life I was number one for them, and now I’m not even third or fourth... Kostya Tszyu lost his first place at home.”

Tszyu also talks about his wife and the way of life that existed in Lately in their house. “You don’t need to imagine that same 18-year-old girl, a hairdresser from the city of Serov, who touchingly jumped and clapped her hands at the sight of new boots or a leather jacket. Who looked into my mouth because she own life depended one hundred percent on mine. That Natasha has not existed for a long time. Natasha Tszyu has a Porsche and a Bentley in her garage. Such a status lady. As we joke in the Urals - “the princess from the State District Power Plant.”

Here she is being interviewed on national Australian television. It says something about communication between the two countries, they say, my husband Kostya has become a liaison, blah blah... Beautiful blouse, makeup, manicure, he walks around the house in the frame - he shows, and I click the remote control... “What did you eat today? » – I once asked the children. "Air!" - they answer. They ate air!

Everyone who is reading me now, dear girls, be careful - this should not happen to a woman who has a house and children. I am a man of the old school, from that generation that, coming in the evening, wants to see well-fed, neatly dressed children and feel that they are welcome. Natasha is a great cook! But for some reason I didn’t want to do it. The very feeling of home disappeared. No, our place was always cleaned, special people spruced it up according to staffing table, but there was no comfort.

At that moment I met Tatyana, quite by accident, in a company. She gave me her phone number, but I never thought that I would ever dial it. There was something about her... A half-forgotten feeling of warmth, or something... And I called. To tell the truth, at that moment she was the only one who wanted to support me. There was sympathy. How should a man behave when one of them calls and the other pushes him under the back?.. Probably, we are all primitive in this sense,” says the boxer.

After the divorce, he left the house and all property to the children and ex-wife and flew away to live in Moscow. “Many again twirled their finger at their temple about this: “Fool!” Maybe so. But it’s even psychologically easier for me to start new life with empty hands. And I have no doubt that I will be able to earn money again. The house, my house, which I planned and built with my soul, they are now selling. I'm not sorry though. It did not bring the happiness that was expected... Natalya has already complained to the press about the high cost of living in Australia, which does not allow a single woman to maintain expensive real estate. And the former mother-in-law was upset in the press that Tszyu evicted her daughter and grandchildren into a rented apartment. Firstly, Natasha “moved out” herself; she is now renting out the house and has put it up for sale. Secondly, her rented accommodation is in no way similar to a rented corner in some Biryulyovo. The place is cool! Three-bedroom apartment with a view of the bay... Yes, my ex lives in the same room with her daughter. So what? In a communal apartment in the city of Serov, I generally slept on a mattress under the table. And nothing, he didn’t die!” - says Tszyu.

The athlete also spoke about his principles, which he will not break under any circumstances. It was these principles that became the reason for the divorce. “For example, I won’t advertise cigarettes even for $100 million. All my life I said, “This is bad. It is forbidden". And then suddenly I’ll say: “Light a cigarette, guys.” And with what face should I do this?.. For some reason, few people understand honesty now. When I'm tired of living double life and told his wife everything as it was, the first comments from friends and acquaintances were: “Fool!” They said that a lot of people exist like this and no one has died yet. Well, let this bunch live like this, but I can’t,” says the athlete.

When asked whether he will have a wedding with his current girlfriend Tatyana, Kostya Tszyu answers evasively and says that the stamp in his passport does not matter to him.

In addition, the boxer spoke about his latest visit to the Urals. “There was a youth tournament named after me. I looked at the growing shift. Purposeful boys! A warm feeling arises when you look at them, as if you were looking back at your younger self,” says Tszyu. - I went to Serov, I haven’t been there for a hundred years. It’s still a bit far... From Yekaterinburg it’s about 4 hours by car at best, the roads were disgusting and still are. I drove around the city. First of all, I went to the cemetery, there are many of my friends there. I put flowers for everyone. I called everyone whose phone numbers were. The people did not believe that I was in the city, but everyone came to meet me. My great-aunt was especially surprised.”

Konstantin Borisovich Tszyu is a famous boxer who competes in the middleweight division. The most interesting thing is that he boxed not only for the Russian Federation, but also for the Soviet Union and Australia.

The guy was never the favorite of fate, but he always achieved everything through constant training and a great love for this sport. It is worth clarifying that Tszyu is a titled athlete who trains many successful young boxers of our time, including Sasha Povetkin and Denis Lebedev.
