I think it's actually Tympothy, the younger son is also about to take up the sport as well in the AMs. In 10 - 15 years time they might be the Klits of the lighter weights.
Timophey :deal I reckon he'll stay in the ams for at least another year, possibly 2. KT's bringing him along nicely, just keeping Tim's name out there so people know he's around and will build up to looking forward to him making his pro debut.
He spars with Kostya as well, here's a link in the Aussie section where KT dropped his own son http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=280738
:nono He's already been dropped by a an old, shot to bits Kostya Tszyu :yep Imagine one day he does become a great champion though, no doubt that video of his dad dropping him will surface to disparage him
15 am fights and his dad wants him to go pro? That's stupid. let him rack up more EXP. He's only 15 years old ffs
He can still gain experance fighting as a pro. There is no reason he can't learn from fighting 4 rounders for a while. I am sure that he can take advantage of his father's name and repuation to put himself on some of the bigger boxing cards in Australia and than possibily the U.S. and Europe. That kind of experance could pay big dividends in the long run. Personly if I was a 15 year old amatur boxer I would want to go to the Olympics. The issue hear is that there is a 17 year old age min, and he will only be 16 at the time of the next Olympics. He will be 20 for the 2016 games still a young age. If he is any good and his carrer is guided corectly. He could be a world champion by 2016. Generaly I would say keep the kid an amatuer longer. There are expitions to every rule and I don't know if this is it. However based on my first paragraph this time it may be worth the risk.
I am sure Kostya knows best for his son. He can get ring experience as a pro against lesser fighters and gradually move up in class. Plus training as a young kid and your trainer is a HOF'er would/should make you better.
