    To me, Tszyu is Russian. His style, demeanor, everything just says Soviet. He might be an Australian citizen or whatever, but he's Russian.
    I agree with u his blood comes from russians and nothing can change that.

            His granfather on the father's side was Korean. The rest of his family were Russian.

              ...I tend to agree with this assesment but would also add that Russians have a right to think of him as their own and be proud that he is theirs.

I know he is of Russian heritage, but he now proudly calls Australia his home. In a battle of nationalities what do you consider him? Aussie Or Russian. Your opinions please.
