Kostya Tszyu takes on bullies!

Four-time Light Welterweight Champion, Kostya Tszyu has teamed up with Author Dustin Warburton in order to write a book for children with an anti-bullying message.  Being a child of Russian, Mongol, and Korean mixed descent, Kostya saw his share of children being bullied while he grew up in Russia.  Even though some tried to bully him, they were unable to as Kostya would find ways to out think them, and would show their weakness through the use of his own strong will and mind.  Years later Kostya would prove his strength of body, mind, soul, and character time after time as he became a professional boxer who was the first to unify the light welterweight division in over 30 years.

Teaming up with Dustin Warburton, and illustrator Dan Monroe, Kostya brings a positive story for children of all ages in this book which shows that bullies really aren't scary!  This book is set to debut in print and as an e-book in the late summer of 2012.
