    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."

    Good on him. One of the greatest 140lb fighters of all time. Power, accuracy, a tireless gym rat and an amazing human being. Good on him. I really hope he becomes a great trainer to both eastern European fighters and Aussies combined

    Kostya joins some outstanding Aussies in Griffo, Darcy & Fenech, and thoroughly deserves his place.

    There is a small article in the herald sun today saying that he hasn't retired and is still thinking about fighting again.

    Anyone have some Aussie names that appear to be well & truly worthy of IBHOF induction???

    Lionel Rose.
    Jimmy Carruthers.
    Larry Foley.

    I believe they are on the short list anyway. What to say......?

    Tszyu deserves his place. Excellent selection.
