Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu and his son Tim are on their way to becoming one of the most-accomplished parent-child duos in boxing history.
In fact, they could end up No. 1 on the list. It all depends on how the unbeaten younger Tszyu does the rest of his career, starting with his U.S debut against Terrell Gausha on Saturday night at The Armory in Minneapolis (Showtime).
The competition actually isn’t particularly stiff even though the modern era of boxing is more than a century old. That’s because only one duo – father-son or father-daughter – can boast that both parent and child were truly great.
Tim Tszyu (20-0, 15 KOs) certainly likes the idea of him and his pop making history together.
“I’m down for that,” he told Boxing Junkie. “That would be a goal for a lifetime if that could be done. I’d be happy.”
Here are the 10 duos against whom the Tszyus are competing (in descending order).
