Choi Chol Su: What happened?

[TheBoxingXpert]

Choi Chol Su is something as rare as a North Korean professional boxer with residence in North Korea. His professional record is 3(3)-0-0 and he won gold in the Olympics in Barcelona, 1992. His professional career was weird. He had a fight in 1996, then in 1998 and then in 1999. Then he just disappeared. He was a promising boxer from the most secretive state in the world. Does anyone know what happened to him?

I really don't hope so...

because he was practicing boxing instead of martial arts. it was seen as a disgrace to his people.

Weird. North Korea is a weird ass country doe. This seems like a bad backstory to a boxing movie.

Looks like from what he did in that Olympic bracket & then in his 3rd fight vs Sammy Duran he coulda made some sorta mark as a pro if given a better shot at doing it. Although maybe it was his call on rolling things back who f#cking knows I guess.
