Kostya Tszyu Considering Comeback Fight

927 Views 15 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  Brutus
Former undisputed junior welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu told the AAP that he is seriously considering a recent offer to return to the ring and start a comeback at age 38. Tszyu has not fought since being stopped by Ricky Hatton in 2005.

He tells the media outlet that he's received numerous offers to return, but the figures have never been enough to tempt him back into the ring. But, recently some Russian investors made him an offer that he might not refuse. The offer is not concrete, but he says it certainly enough to make him put on the gloves again.

"I'm realistically saying it's still a big chance but it would need to be huge motivation," Tszyu said. "I would never fight for money but it would need to be a big number. Some Russians offered me ridiculous money, bigger than I've ever had, but not anything concrete."

Its not all some fighters think about though.
Another great fighter who can't stay away. I have no desire to watch Tszyu fight again

Really? Why not?
I'd like to see Tszyu fight once more, I like the idea of him fighting Gatti and a catchweight. But then both should retire.
Yup Tszyu should stay away he had a great career. He would not make any waves in boxing today.
