Tim Tszyu is now well and truly his own man - but apparently not in the eyes of Mother Russia.
The super-welterweight star finished Dennis Hogan inside five rounds on Wednesday night in Newcastle, again marking himself as a world class talent.
Yet this was how the official Twitter account of the Russian embassy in Australia marked the moment: mistakenly calling Tim Tszyu Kostya , the name of his boxing icon father.
Kostya, who lives in Moscow and doesn t attend his son s fights, wrote on Tim s Instagram page after the Hogan stoppage: Love you and so proud.
Tim Tszyu s manager Glen Jennings said that his charge was no longer in his father s shadow.
