Early life


Tszyu was born in Sydney, New South Wales, to Russian parents of Russian, Korean and Mongolian descent.[6] His father, Kostya, is a former undisputed light-welterweight champion who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.[7] Tim's first sporting interest began to develop at the age of six when enrolled in gymnastics and later switched sports to association football at the age of 10.[8] As a soccer player, he was selected to play for multiple local representative teams[9] but his interest in the sport began to wane at the age of 13 when he temporarily relocated to Moscow with his family for a few months before returning to Sydney. At the age of 15, Tszyu decided to quit football and began pursuing a career in boxing. He attended St George Christian School and Newington College[10] throughout his teenage years and enrolled in a business degree at the University of Technology Sydney following high school graduation.[11] His brother, Nikita, is also a professional boxer.[12]

Tszyu amassed an amateur boxing record of 33–1 before turning professional in 2016 at the age of 22.[13]
