It was reported by RIA Novosti, that former unified junior welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu, said Monday that he has not yet decided when to end his professional boxing career.
Tszyu, 37, told RIA Novosti, that he is involved in several projects not related to sports, but still has a feels that there are things he still wants to accomplish in the ring.
"I have a feeling that I failed to do something in professional boxing," Tszyu said, adding that he does not want to make any early decisions.
Tszyu noted that he plans to open a boxing school in Russia, and a boxing academy in Australia.

He should retire, didn't he get some kind of brain injury against Hatton?
no he got a knee injury and it needed surgery

My bad. His knee, his shoulder-chest, he's 37. I would think if he comes back he would want to rematch Hatton and I don't see it going any different IMO
agreed, Kostya is past it now, he's had injury after injury for years now and 37 is old for a lightweight
I would still pay to see him fight though

You took the words out of my mouth.He had all those injurys prior to the Mitchell fight & another injury against Hatton.Add to that the fact that he's been inactive for some 2 years ands hes 37,I don't like the idea of a comeback.
He's achieved so much in boxing & has nothing to prove.I just hope he decides against fighting again.

Kosta is without a doubt my favorite boxer under 168 period. But I think he should throw in the towell on his fight career, Not to take anything away from Hatton, but I think a prime Tszyu wouldve Ko'd him within 8 rounds, and as fighter of his calibor I think he'd being doing himself a great disservice by dwindling along fighting guys off the top teir or tarnishing his image against the young stars fighters of today.
