Russian born Aussie, Kostya Tszyu is among a handful of International boxing superstars who will be entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame this weekend.
Tszyu is a four-time Junior Welterweight champion and will enter the Hall of Hame tonight with the likes of heavyweight, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Ignacio Beristain, referee Joe Cortez and Sylvester Stallone.
Tszyu will be the 4th Aussie fighter to enter the Hall of Fame behind Young Griffo, Les Darcy and Jeff Fenech. Tszyu said: "It's a big achievment and I'm so proud to have my family here with me to share in this special moment."

How did Cortez get in?
Does the Hall have a special category for burglars?
Sylvester Stallone? He can't even act!

Re: Tszyu to enter International Boxing Hall of Fame.
did anybody read the hearald sun i think it was on sunday saying kostya was continuing to pour cold water on that he is retired and he is chasing a fight with either mayweather,mosley or pacquiao. im guessing this untrue but it was written there.
Re: Tszyu to enter International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Not interested in seeing him fight again. Why wouldya? 
There's a lot worse fighers in the HOF than Tszyu. And Rocky 1 was good then they went downhill pretty rapidly

Re: Tszyu to enter International Boxing Hall of Fame.
I find it extraordinary that Sylvester Stallone, an actor playing a boxer, is inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, yet the boxer his character is based on will never get in.
Re: Tszyu to enter International Boxing Hall of Fame.
I'd never thought of it that way. Good one
