[Nautilus]

What a waste of a thread....

[Derranged]

Isn't he a Korean born in Russia now living in Australlia?

Isn't he a Korean born in Russia now living in Australlia?

Quarter Korean I believe.

Lives in Russia now also I believe.

It's not like he was born and raised in Australia. Had that been the case then I would've considered him an Australian obviously of Russian descent. But People know that he was born in Russia and represented Russia as an amateurboxer and as far as i know pretty much all of his pro career, so I'm pretty sure most people view him as Russian.

He was born and raised in Russia, so he's Russian. He's also an Australian due to his citizenship.

Tszyu is a Russian/Mongolian that beat ass at regular invervals.

[Glamour Puss]

Kostya is clearly of Eurasian descent, probably Kazhak, but Turkmeni wouldn't surprise me either.

In any event, I think he is a a direct descendent of the great Ghengis Khan.

[NakiFan]

He's Russian.

[Poet682006]

Last time I checked he was half Russian/half Korean.....hence his trademark pigtail.
