KOSTYA - MY STORY By Kostya Tszyu Russian born Aussie boxer Kostya Tszyu is only the third fighter in the modern era to reign as undispuated champion of the world. Weaning his trademark plait of hair and a warm unaffected smile, he has won the hearts of all in his adopted country with his punishing fists, fierce determination, peerless concentration and tactical speriority in the ring. This is his story, told for the first time. Kostya grew up in a grim Siberian industrial town, with just a single room in a tiny apartment for his entire family and all their wordly possessions. He fought to be an individual in the face of tyranny, and rose to be amateur boxing champion of the world. This remarkable success enabled him to leave his homeland, and in January 1992 he left everything behind - except his teenage sweetheart - and moved to Australia. As a professional Kostya, brilliant record continued unmarred until 1997, when he was upset in one shock defeart at the hands of Vince Phillips to lose his IBF junior welter weight crown. And then a court case cost him $4 million. Deeply depressed, his undying spirit and commitment enabled Kostya to fight back and exorcise his mental demons, bringing him to the summit of unarguable triumph. Kostya is the fascinating story of a unique Australian.
