I would like to tell you about Kostya Tszyu. His full name is Konstantin Borisovich Tszyu.

Constantine was born in a small industrial town, located in the Sverdlovsk region , called Serov on September, 19th 1969.

His father worked in a factory , and his mother — as a nurse. When he was 5 years old he was sent to a small section of boxing. Kostya immediately began to show good results and boxing events soon became his routine.

A few years later he became the champion of the area , then - the city and in 1985 he won the All-Russian Youth Games . In 1986, Tszyu became the champion of the USSR , and in 1989 - among adults. As for the international competition , in which Kostya participated since 1984 he has not won a single victory in the European championships . An amateur boxer Kostya had 282 fights and 270 of which he won.

After winning the World Cup , which was held in Australia, Kostya was offered to move to that country and engage in professional boxing.

I have written about Kostya Tszyu becausehe is goal-oriented, cool and may be an example for me.
