Konstantin "Kostya" Tszyu (Russian: Константин «Костя» Цзю) is a Russian Australian former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2005. He held multiple light-welterweight world championships, including the undisputed and lineal titles between 2001 and 2005. Tszyu was an exceptional all-around boxer-puncher who relied heavily on accuracy, timing, and carried formidable punching power; he is often regarded as one of the hardest-punching light-welterweights in the division's history.
This spelling of Konstantin (Constantine) is often used for the character in Chekov's play "The Seagull." Konstantin is a tragically unsuccessful writer who shoots himself. All that aside, I love this spelling and this name--the Russian nickname being "Kostya."
Konstantin Stanislavski was the Russian actor & director who started what became known as "method acting", taught to many American actors in New York by most notably Lee Strasberg & Stella Adler.
