Tim Tszyu, the 14-year-old son of former champion Kostya Tszyu, is making waves in the Australian amateur ranks and plans to become a star like his father. Tim is the Australian Golden Gloves junior welterweight champion. Tim has had five fights so far and stopped four of them inside the distance. Kostya has been inactive since being stopped by Ricky Hatton in 2005. [details]

I was at that tournament!!!!! and i won too!

Yeah Tim looked real good in there, poised, sharp, knew his way around the ring real good for a kid with 5 fights.

He wore his dads old Soviet Union gear too.

Thats good.. was a big fan of tszyu.. hopefully he will have as much success as his father.. but would he be able to ever get out of that huge shadow ?

He's fighting out of a pretty good gym, and has a good trainer. It shouldn't be a big issue, the first thing all those close to him would have been saying is how to deal with being compared to his dad etc.

Thankfully Tszyu was able to have kids before Hatton scrambled his balls. That low blow shot in their fight was one of the worst I've seen lol.
