Tszyu’s mother-in-law: “After Kostya abandoned my daughter, she and the children had to move to a rented apartment. Mother-in-law Kostya Tszyu: After he left, my daughter is huddled in a rented apartment! What do bones children do?
Kostya Dzyu is a world-famous boxer and the idol of many sports fans. Despite the fact that the boxer’s sports career has already ended, the hype around his name does not subside. In addition to the facts from the biography of Kostya Ju, of course, many fans are also interested in the events of his personal life. And it is precisely in this area that global changes have recently taken place, which has caused a new wave of rumors and gossip. These changes are a divorce from wife of Kostya Ju Natalia and the athlete's new love. These events are actively discussed online, both individually and together.

Kostya Dzyu met his future wife in a bar in his hometown of Serov. At first, none of them thought about love, or about continuing the relationship. Both were satisfied with the way they lived before - they went to the skating rink and the pool together, Kostya often left for training camps and training sessions. However, when the question arose about traveling to Australia for work purposes, Kostya Dzyu did not want to go alone, but invited Natalya with him. It was there that the couple realized that they had certain feelings for each other. It was very difficult at first. Natalya voluntarily shouldered all household chores and problems, trying to give her husband as many opportunities for development as possible. Over time, Konstantin Dzyu’s wife received an education and started her own business. The couple had three children - sons Timofey and Nikita and daughter Nastya. The family outwardly seemed strong and happy, although in fact serious problems were brewing inside.

As they say, in a divorce only one of the spouses cannot be to blame, both are always to blame. It’s just that someone’s guilt is more obvious and greater. This is what happened in this family. The active and businesslike wife herself did not notice how her ambitions took first place, which had previously been occupied by her husband. It was difficult for a man accustomed to living in the position of a king to come to terms with this state of affairs. The last straw was Kostya Ju’s loss in a fight with Ricky Hatton, after which he was forced to end his boxing career. As it turned out, he was not ready for this, and his wife, who, on the contrary, was glad that her husband would stop participating in battles, was unable to support her husband in time. Not feeling support from Natalya and not knowing what to do with himself in Australia, Kostya Dzyu returned to Russia, where he met a beautiful girl named Tatyana Averina. Tatyana also knew that her husband was different, but for a long time she continued to hope for something. She did not believe that 20 years of marriage could be easily erased. However, at the end of 2013, Kostya Dzyu and his wife officially divorced.

The couple divorced peacefully and without mutual claims. Natalya hopes that for the sake of the children, who primarily need the attention of both parents, she and Kostya Ju will remain friends. Despite the severe depression that accompanied the woman during the difficult divorce process, she does not hold a grudge against her husband. Now everyone goes their own way. Kostya Dzyu continues to meet with Tatyana Averina and live in Russia (though he does not promise her marriage), and Tatyana and her children remained in Australia and wants to move to Dubai in the future. She does not rule out that someday she will be able to fall in love again and become happy. She wishes the same for her ex-husband.

Biography and personal life of Kostya Tszyu
The biography and personal life of Kostya Tszyu contains a lot of interesting and informative information about the boxer.
The boy was born in the late 60s in the city of Serov, which is located next to Sverdlovsk. Now this is the city of Yekaterinburg. Father - Boris Timofeevich Tszyu was an employee of a local metallurgical plant. Mother, Valentina Vladimirovna Tszyu, worked in one of the city hospitals. Tszyu is not a pseudonym, as many boxing fans think, but a real surname, which he received from his grandfather, a purebred Korean. Kostya did not grow up alone. He has a younger sister, who was born several years later than him.
The boy was incredibly active from a young age. To guide him in the right direction, his dad took him to the sports section, where he began to learn to box. The boy’s first coach, to whom our hero is still incredibly grateful, was Vladimir Cherni.
In the mid-80s, Konstantin became the winner of the Soviet Union Junior Championship. Next year he managed to repeat the success.
After receiving a school certificate, our hero became a student at the Engineering and Pedagogical Institute in his hometown. But a year later I decided to pick up the documents.
During his service in the armed forces, he began to compete at various championships not only in his country, but also at the international level. He became the winner of the Goodwill Games, European and World Championships. In the early 90s, the young man moved to Australia, where Lewis began to train him.
Over the course of 30 years, the boxer became incredibly famous. He often won battles. Since 2009, the man began training the younger generation, developing a special technique.
Konstantin took part in various television programs. He starred with his son Nikita in advertising.
Several years ago, a number of media outlets wrote about Tszyu’s health problems. He managed to prevent a heart attack by installing a stent. Then the athlete spent several months recovering on Lake Issyk-Kul.
From his youth, our hero was happy with a woman named Natalya. This union brought a lot of happiness to the athlete and gave him three children. In 2013, the couple officially divorced. The boxer soon married for the second time and became the father of another son and daughter.
Family and children of Kostya Tszyu
Kostya Tszyu’s family and children live in Australia and Russia. The athlete himself pays significant attention to children born in two marriages. He takes time to communicate with each of his offspring.
The world-class star is proud of his Korean roots, but calls himself a Russian person. The athlete’s great-grandfather from Korea moved to China and then to the Russian Federation, because here he met the love of his life. The man died shortly before Kostya was born; he is buried in Serov.
Dad was a metallurgical plant worker. It was thanks to Boris Timofeevich that Kostya began to practice boxing. The man is incredibly proud of his son's success.
Mom was a medical worker at one of the hospitals. She currently lives with her husband in the Moscow region. The parents' relocation was organized by Konstantin himself.

The sons of Kostya Tszyu - Tim, Nikita and Vladimir are the heirs of the great athlete. He communicates with each of his sons, dreaming that they will follow in his footsteps.
The first-born in the family appeared in mid-1994. They named him Timofey, although the guy himself prefers to be called Tim in the Australian manner. He considers Australia his homeland. Outwardly, Tim looks like his dad, as fans of the star have repeatedly said. The young man was educated at one of the best Australian universities. He performs in the boxing ring and dreams of repeating his father's success. So far, Tim is only 105th in the world rankings. He came to Russia and talked with his father.
Our hero named his second son Nikita. He boxed from a young age. But the boy is much more willing to play football. He dreams of becoming the best player in this sport at the Australian Championships. Kostya Tszyu and his son Nikita starred together in one of the commercials. Viewers noted the similarities between father and son. The guy smiles just like his star father.
The man's youngest son was born in his second marriage. They named him Vladimir. In one of his interviews, the boxer said that he named the boy in honor of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Volodya is still small. But he has already started playing sports, under the guidance of his dad. On his Instagram page, the star father himself posted a photo of a boy wearing boxing gloves.
Konstantin also established a good relationship with his stepson. He does not distinguish him from his own sons. Many journalists call the guy a man's son.
Kostya Tszyu’s daughters – Anastasia and Victoria
Kostya Tszyu’s daughters, Anastasia and Victoria, were born 14 years apart. The boxer himself is proud of his daughters and often talks about them.
Anastasia was born in the early 2000s. She became the boxer's third child. The girl lives in Australia with her mother and older brothers. She never came to Russia. Nastya is involved in gymnastics and is making progress in this field. She recently won among her peers in her native Sydney.
Victoria became Konstantin's fifth child. He is incredibly proud of the baby and often posts pictures of her on his Instagram page. The girl is still small, so it’s too early to judge her future.
Kostya Tszyu's ex-wife - Natalya Anikina
The acquaintance with his future wife took place in his hometown. The girl was so beautiful that the guy immediately lost his head in love. He approached and immediately confessed his feelings. But Natasha decided it was a joke.
In 1993, the lovers got married. After that, the girl moved to her beloved in Sydney, Australia. They lived happily for almost 20 years. The marriage produced two sons and a daughter. In 2011, Konstantin left the family. He says in his interviews that he simply felt that he could not live as before.
After the divorce, Kostya Tszyu’s ex-wife, Natalya Anikina, remained with the children in Australia, and the boxer moved to the Russian Federation, but for the sake of the children, the former spouses maintained good relations.
Kostya Tszyu's wife - Tatyana Averina
After returning home, our hero lived alone for some time. Tanyusha appeared in his life by chance. Seeing the girl, the boxer fell in love immediately. He came over and started a conversation. Tatyana was not interested in boxing, so Tszyu did not recognize her.
The relationship developed quickly. The athlete also established a relationship with the son of his beloved from his first marriage. In 2014, the lovers officially registered their marriage and got married.

The boxer and his new passion, the beautiful Tatyana, no longer hide their relationship
Another famous Russian couple announced their divorce: Kostya Tszyu broke up with his wife after 20 years of marriage. Even the three children who are growing up with the athlete could not save the family. In fact, the couple’s marriage broke up three years ago, when the boxer began to visit Moscow more and more often, while his relatives lived in Australia. And now the couple has announced a divorce. The divorce proceedings of Konstantin and Natalia Tszyu will take place on December 3 in Sydney. Meanwhile, Kostya has long been happy with his new girlfriend: the boxer’s chosen one is the spectacular brunette Tatyana AVERINA.
The athlete and his young girlfriend no longer hide their passion: the girl accompanies the athlete on filming and parties, the couple travels together around the world and happily shares joint photos on social networks. In the photo - Tatiana in Kostya's arms in different parts of the world: now they are in Greece, now in Spain, now in Portugal. This summer, the couple also managed to visit Crimea, where Tatyana has a house. The new friend has already met Kostya’s parents and, judging by the pictures, they have managed to become friends.
He made his own choice. Nobody pushed him. Children have known for a long time that dad will no longer live with mom,” Valentina Sergeevna said in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda" , - Kostya now comes to them very rarely - three or four times a year. Tomorrow he will fly from Moscow to Australia. I think to see my mother. But I hope it will come to children too. By the way, Kostya’s parents are also unhappy that their son abandoned the family.

Everything has already burned out. Of course, she cries and worries,” says Valentina Sergeevna. - She was left alone with three children. It took them so long to build this huge three-story house. And now it had to be put up for sale... Natasha has to rent an apartment. She simply could not have built this house alone.
Tszyu’s mother-in-law does not know the reason for the sports star’s cooling towards her daughter. But he suspects that the athlete was simply attracted to young people:
The love has passed, apparently. Probably tired of my old wife. So I fell in love with a young woman. This girl is younger than Natasha.
 |
After all, he skated with Masha Petrova. And this one is definitely not a dancer or a figure skater. I just found her somewhere in Moscow. But he continued to hide behind the children and Natasha, while he lived with her. The last time I called him was in the spring of 2012. Kostya was already living in Moscow at that time. Natasha told me that her husband left them. And then I called Kostya myself and asked: “Is it true that you no longer live with Natasha?” And he responded: “How do you know? Who told you?"

Konstantin (Kostya) Borisovich Tszyu. Born on September 19, 1969 in Serov, Sverdlovsk region. Soviet, Russian and Australian boxer, three-time champion of the USSR (1989-1991), two-time European champion (1989, 1991) and world champion (1991) among amateurs, absolute world champion (according to WBC/WBA/IBF) among professionals. Honored Master of Sports of the USSR (1991).
Father - Boris Timofeevich Tszyu, worked at a metallurgical plant.
Mother - Valentina Vladimirovna Tszyu, was a nurse.
He got the surname Tszyu from his great-grandfather Innocent, who was a purebred Korean who came to Russia from China.
When Kostya was nine years old, his father brought him to the boxing section of the Youth Sports School.
In 1986 he entered the Sverdlovsk Engineering and Pedagogical Institute (SIPI). Having successfully passed the tests and exams, he left his studies in February 1987.
From 1988 to 1990 - private in the support battalion of the Oryol Higher Military Command School of Communications named after. M. I. Kalinina KGB USSR (OVVKUS).
In 2012, he graduated with honors (among the 5 best graduates of the year) from the Ural Federal University, then defended his PhD thesis at the Department of Fundamentals of Physical Education at Tyumen State University.
Konstantin Tszyu started boxing at the age of nine under the leadership of Vladimir Cherny.
In 1986 and 1987 he was the champion of the USSR among juniors. In 1988, he participated in the Olympic Games in Seoul, reaching the quarterfinals in these competitions, where he lost to the future champion Andreas Ziulow from the GDR.
In 1989 and 1991 he became European champion, and in 1990 he won the Goodwill Games in Seattle.
In 1991 he won the world championship in Sydney. In the final of this tournament, he was able to defeat future professional world champion Vernon Forrest. In total, in the amateur ring, Tszyu won 270 victories in 282 fights.
Konstantin Tszyu's performance at the World Championships in Sydney impressed Australian coach Johnny Lewis and promoter Bill Mordy. They invited him to return to Australia and turn professional. He accepted the offer and on March 1 he was already performing in the professional ring. In Melbourne, his opponent was the champion of the Australian state of Queensland, Darrell Hiles, who lasted less than two minutes against him.
In the fourth fight, Tszyu faced former world champion Juan La Porte, who held out against Tszyu until the end of the ten-round fight. In the sixth fight, Tszyu met with future world champion Sammy Fuentes and defeated him by technical knockout in the first round. In August 1993, Tszyu defeated former world champion Livingston Bramble.
On January 28, 1995, in Las Vegas, Nevada, a fight took place against IBF champion Jake Rodriguez. After four knockdowns in the sixth round, Tszyu became the new IBF world champion.
Five months later, a fight took place against former two-weight world champion Roger Mayweather. The fight, which Tszyu won, lasted 12 rounds with his full advantage.
At the end of 1995, Tszyu fired promoter Bill Mordy and replaced him with Vlad Wharton. Mordi sued and won compensation from Tszyu in the amount of several million dollars.
The next fight was supposed to take place against Colombian Hugo Pineda, who was the IBF mandatory challenger, in Cartagena (Colombia). Tszyu refused to go to Colombia due to the unstable situation (the government's war with the guerrillas). The IBF announced the possibility of stripping him of his title. Tszyu’s managers went to court, they managed to retain the championship title and transfer the fight to Australia.
Hugo Pineda knocked Tszyu down with a sharp right hand in the first round (the knockdown was easy: after the blow, Tszyu only touched the floor with his knee and immediately stood up). But from the second round Pineda began to lose, in the fourth round he suffered the first knockdown, and at the end of the seventh - in the second. In the eleventh round and after the fifth knockdown, when Pineda sat on the floor near the ropes, the referee stopped the fight.
Tszyu then defeated Corey Johnson (fourth round knockout) and South African Jan Bergman (sixth round technical knockout). He gained a reputation as the strongest welterweight boxer.
In the next fight, in the first round, he knocked down Puerto Rican Leonardo Mas three times, but the referee decided that the third knockdown was the result of a blow delivered after the bell. Subsequently, the Athletic Commission recognized a technical draw, but Kostya Tszyu retains the IBF champion title. Tszyu's manager later protested and the result was annulled. The draw was crossed out.
On May 31, 1997, Tszyu made another defense of his title against experienced boxer Vince Philips. It was believed that Tszyu would win. However, from the very beginning the battle took place in a very stubborn and equal struggle. By the eighth round, the initiative had completely passed to Phillips. In the tenth round, the referee declared Phillips' victory by technical knockout.
After losing the title, Tszyu had to start over. He consecutively defeated Ismael Armand Chavez (third round TKO) and former world champion Calvin Grove (first round TKO). He then defeated another former champion, Rafael Ruelas, in a WBC eliminator.
On November 28, 1998, a duel took place with Diosbelis Hurtado, which ended in Tszyu’s victory in the fifth round.
On August 21, 1999, Konstantin Tszyu defeated Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Since Julio Cesar Chavez refused a rematch with Gonzalez, preferring a re-fight with Oscar De La Hoya, the WBC 1st welterweight title was played between Konstantin Tszyu and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Tszyu dominated the entire fight. In the 5th round, he beat the Mexican badly, but he survived. At the beginning of the 10th round, the corner asked the referee to stop the fight.
In February 2000, Tszyu knocked out Ahmed Santos in the 8th round.
In July 2000, Tszyu entered the ring against former multiple champion in several weights, Julio Cesar Chavez. At the beginning of the 6th round, Chavez hit Tszyu in the groin. The referee deducted a point from the Mexican. Immediately after the fight continued, Tszyu hit Chavez in the head with a double and he ended up on the floor. The Mexican stood at the count of 7. The fight continued. Tszyu immediately attacked Chavez. Chavez began to attack himself. Tszyu was more successful in the exchange - a significant part of his shots hit the target. Tszyu pinned Chavez against the ropes and began to finish. Chavez's corner intervened and the referee stopped the fight. Tszyu’s team, without waiting for the official announcement of the result, left the ring, fearing the audience cheering for Chavez.
In February 2001, a welterweight unification fight took place between WBC belt holders Konstantin Tszyu and WBA Sharmba Mitchell. At the end of the 4th round, Tszyu and Mitchell came together in a clinch, after which Tszyu pushed his opponent, and he fell to the canvas. Referee Joe Cortez removed Tszyu for this point. In the middle of the 7th round, the opponents clashed in another clinch. Mitchell got out of it unsuccessfully, twisting his left leg and limping. Mitchell was able to reach the bell, but during the break between rounds the corner withdrew his fighter, citing a leg injury. Tszyu won by technical knockout.
Tszyu then defended his titles against WBC challenger Oktay Urkal.
In November 2001, a fight for the title of absolute champion in the 1st welterweight took place between Konstantin Tszyu and Zab Judah. The entire elite of modern American boxing, led by Mike Tyson, came out to support Judah in this fight. Tszyu had to experience enormous moral and psychological pressure before the start of the fight, and he coped with it brilliantly. Despite the fact that Judah pretty much crushed Konstantin in the 1st round, at the very end of the 2nd round (8 seconds before the end of the round) Tszyu sent the American to the canvas. Judah stood up and immediately fell again because his legs were spreading (as Vladimir Gendlin commented, “legs like spaghetti”). With his legs he performed incredible pretzels like a fantastic dancer, referee Jay Nady had no choice but to immediately stop the fight. Having come to his senses, Judah, who did not agree with this, protested furiously, throwing a tantrum in the ring.
In 2002, there was a fight with Ghanaian boxer Ben Taki. Taki tried to force a fight at a distance. The fight lasted 12 rounds, ending with Tszyu’s victory, which all the judges agreed with.
On January 19, 2003, Tszyu entered the ring against Jesse James Leahy. Tszyu dominated the fight. During the break between the 6th and 7th rounds, Leahy's corner refused to continue the fight due to a suspected ruptured eardrum in his fighter.
In November 2004, the second fight took place between Konstantin Tszyu and Sharmba Mitchell. In the middle of the 2nd round, Tszyu landed a left cross to the head. Mitchell staggered. Tszyu rushed to finish him off, pressing him to the ropes and throwing a series of blows to the head. Mitchell tried to clinch, but missed several punches and fell. The referee counted the knockdown. Mitchell rose to the count of 6. Tszyu tried to finish off his opponent, but Mitchell held out until the gong. At the beginning of the 3rd round, Tszyu landed a left cross to the jaw, and the challenger fell with his back on the canvas. Mitchell stood up at the last moment. Tszyu began to aim the blow. At the end of the 3rd round, the champion again hit the challenger in the jaw with a left cross. He stepped back, pressing himself against the ropes. Tszyu started bombing him. After missing several episodes, Mitchell took a knee. The referee called a knockdown. Mitchell rose to the count of 7. Tszyu immediately pressed him against the ropes again and threw two deuces to the head. The challenger fell back into the ring. The referee stopped the fight without opening the score.
In June 2005, Tszyu entered the ring against the undefeated Briton Ricky Hatton. The fight took place in England. Hatton, nicknamed “The Hitman,” imposed his style on Kostya. Objectively, Hatton’s moral-volitional qualities and physical condition were higher. The ring officials took Ricky's position and did not reproach him for his countless violations of the rules. Thanks to dirty boxing, he not only outplayed tactically, but first of all psychologically broke Kostya. Also, Kostya’s condition was greatly influenced by the surprisingly silence of the judge, who allowed Hatton to fight in such a dirty style. During the break between the 11th and 12th rounds, Tszyu’s corner removed his boxer from the fight.
After this fight, Tszyu decided to end his professional boxing career.
Konstantin Tszyu developed his own methods of training professional boxers, which he successfully used for several years while living in Australia. Returning to his homeland, Konstantin began to regularly conduct master classes, demonstrating his training methods, and train famous Russian athletes.
In mid-2012, Konstantin was already training three famous Russian boxers: Denis Lebedev, Khabib Allahverdiev and Alexander Povetkin.
In the spring-summer of 2009, the absolute world boxing champion Konstantin Tszyu took a civil initiative to help develop children's sports in Russia by organizing a number of sports schools named after him throughout the country. To popularize this initiative, as well as in honor of the 75th anniversary of the “Young Dynamo” educational and sports movement, the Kostya Tszyu charity foundation, together with the international Phoenix Foundation and other organizations, organized the “Moscow - Novorossiysk” motor rally.
In July 2009, Russia’s first Kostya Tszyu Boxing School was opened at the FitnessMania sports club (Moscow, Leninsky Prospekt, 146).
Since February 2010 - manager of NL International.
On April 9, 2010, Konstantin headed the editorial office of Russia's first electronic magazine about martial arts, Fight Magazine.
June 12, 2011 Kostya Tszyu was included in the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a person who made a huge contribution to the development of this sport. On the same day, American actor and film director, former Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, coach Ignacio “Nacho” Berishtein and famous referee Joe Cortez received a similar honor.

Kostya Tszyu gave a frank interview about returning from Australia to Russia, a “difficult” divorce and showed off his new lover. PHOTO
The world-famous boxer, a native of the Sverdlovsk region, Kostya Tszyu gave a long interview in which he frankly spoke about his divorce from his wife Natalya and his move from Australia to Russia.
According to Tszyu, now he is getting used to it again and learning to live in Russia. “I didn’t think I’d come back here, but I came back and I’m ready to start from scratch. I wanted this divorce for many months. I understood that everything needed to be streamlined and brought to the correct denominator. And now, finally, it has grown together, and I, Kostya Tszyu, seem to have to revel in my freedom, absolute and unlimited. But something doesn’t let you in... Something subconscious that you feel, but cannot define. I had a similar feeling several years ago when I was vacationing in my big house in Australia. In one that is difficult to dream of not only in my native Serov, Sverdlovsk region, but even in Moscow. Spacious rooms, tennis court, sauna, swimming pool, fountains... There are 7 toilets alone! The neighbors are wonderful. For example, Hollywood star Russell Crowe, whom I advised on the film “Knockdown,” is a most pleasant person. And nature! Two steps away is the sound of the eternal ocean. I have everything: three beautiful children, a wife, titles that many boxers can only dream of... I am an absolute champion and honored to be included in the top ten world boxing legends of all times. I even have a pet boa constrictor! Because I wanted it to be! Well, I’m sitting in my “palace” with seven toilets, watching TV, a boa constrictor is dozing on me... And everything seems to be fine, right, but something is wrong!” - says the boxer.
According to him, he could not come to terms with the fact that he was turning into a meek Australian pensioner. “I even hate weekends! I need to be busy with something, move somewhere. I'm a man of action. And there was one continuous day off,” Tszyu is indignant.
The reason for Tszyu’s move to Russia was his broken marriage with his wife Natalya, with whom he lived for more than 20 years. The boxer cites his losing fight with Ricky Hatton in 2005 as part of the trigger for the separation. “I lost. It's a terrible feeling when you win all the time, and then - time! – and you lose ground under your feet. Everything you were always sure of no longer works,” says the athlete. - Then, after the defeat with Ricky Hatton, I needed ordinary human support. But the children are busy with their own things, Natasha fell headlong into another study and attempts to start a business... She is always learning something. First he masters one specialty, then another...
I tried to express my grievances, sought dialogue, but no one heard me. All my life I was number one for them, and now I’m not even third or fourth... Kostya Tszyu lost his first place at home.”
Tszyu also talks about his wife and the way of life that has recently existed in their home. “You don’t need to imagine that same 18-year-old girl, a hairdresser from the city of Serov, who touchingly jumped and clapped her hands at the sight of new boots or a leather jacket. Who looked into my mouth because her own life depended one hundred percent on mine. That Natasha has not existed for a long time. Natasha Tszyu has a Porsche and a Bentley in her garage. Such a status lady. As we joke in the Urals - “the princess from the State District Power Plant.”
Here she is being interviewed on national Australian television. It says something about communication between the two countries, they say, my husband Kostya has become a liaison, blah blah... Beautiful blouse, makeup, manicure, he walks around the house in the frame - he shows, and I click the remote control... “What did you eat today? » – I once asked the children. "Air!" - they answer. They ate air!
Everyone who is reading me now, dear girls, be careful - this should not happen to a woman who has a house and children. I am a man of the old school, from that generation that, coming in the evening, wants to see well-fed, neatly dressed children and feel that they are welcome. Natasha is a great cook! But for some reason I didn’t want to do it. The very feeling of home disappeared. No, our place was always tidy, special people spruced it up according to the staffing schedule, but there was no comfort.
At that moment I met Tatyana, quite by accident, in a company. She gave me her phone number, but I never thought that I would ever dial it. There was something about her... A half-forgotten feeling of warmth, or something... And I called. To tell the truth, at that moment she was the only one who wanted to support me. There was sympathy. How should a man behave when one of them calls and the other pushes him under the back?.. Probably, we are all primitive in this sense,” says the boxer.
After the divorce, he left the house and all property to his children and ex-wife and flew to live in Moscow. “Many again twirled their finger at their temple about this: “Fool!” Maybe so. But it’s even psychologically easier for me to start a new life empty-handed. And I have no doubt that I will be able to earn money again. The house, my house, which I planned and built with my soul, they are now selling. I'm not sorry though. It did not bring the happiness that was expected... Natalya has already complained to the press about the high cost of living in Australia, which does not allow a single woman to maintain expensive real estate. And the former mother-in-law was upset in the press that Tszyu evicted her daughter and grandchildren into a rented apartment. Firstly, Natasha “moved out” herself; she is now renting out the house and has put it up for sale. Secondly, her rented accommodation is in no way similar to a rented corner in some Biryulyovo. The place is cool! Three-bedroom apartment with a view of the bay... Yes, my ex lives in the same room with her daughter. So what? In a communal apartment in the city of Serov, I generally slept on a mattress under the table. And nothing, he didn’t die!” - says Tszyu.
The athlete also spoke about his principles, which he will not break under any circumstances. It was these principles that became the reason for the divorce. “For example, I won’t advertise cigarettes even for $100 million. All my life I said, “This is bad. It is forbidden". And then suddenly I’ll say: “Light a cigarette, guys.” And with what face should I do this?.. For some reason, few people understand honesty now. When I was tired of living a double life and told my wife everything as it was, the first comments from friends and acquaintances were: “Fool!” They said that a lot of people exist like this and no one has died yet. Well, let this bunch live like this, but I can’t,” says the athlete.
When asked whether he will have a wedding with his current girlfriend Tatyana, Kostya Tszyu answers evasively and says that the stamp in his passport does not matter to him.
In addition, the boxer spoke about his latest visit to the Urals. “There was a youth tournament named after me. I looked at the growing shift. Purposeful boys! A warm feeling arises when you look at them, as if you were looking back at your younger self,” says Tszyu. - I went to Serov, I haven’t been there for a hundred years. It’s still a bit far... From Yekaterinburg it’s about 4 hours by car at best, the roads were disgusting and still are. I drove around the city. First of all, I went to the cemetery, there are many of my friends there. I put flowers for everyone. I called everyone whose phone numbers were. The people did not believe that I was in the city, but everyone came to meet me. My great-aunt was especially surprised.”
