Aussie boxer Nikita Tszyu welcomes first child and reveals newborn's VERY unusual name
Nikita Tszyu has welcomed his first child with his wife Nikita Bedwell. The Aussie boxing star, 27, shared the happy news to Instagram on Saturday and revealed his baby girl's very unusual name. The couple named their daughter Curiosity and hope the name will give her both courage and strength. 'Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. It is this powerful force of curiosity which has led humans to become explorers, scientists, historians and artists,' Tszyu posted to social media. 'Curiosity is the everlasting flame burning in all of us that compels us to ask questions, to wonder, to learn, to grow and to know. 'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. 'May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her.' 'As Curiosity's parents, we vow to nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushidō 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her.' Tszyu, who is known for staying out of the spotlight, wed Bedwell in January, with just his famous father Kostya, brother Tim and Ms Bedwell's dad there as witnesses. When Tszyu's mother was asked about the ceremony, she revealed that she had only just been informed about the wedding taking place. 'If the couple are happy — I'm blessing them both!' she told News Corp. Tszyu, known as 'The Butcher' for his aggressive style in the ring, is much more reserved in his personal life. There is barely a photo of his partner on social media or from public events, with many outsiders unaware that he was even in a relationship. Tszyu, who has been fighting as a pro for three years, is rumoured to be taking on Michael Zerafa in his next bout, but nothing is as yet finalised.

Nikita Tszyu announces the birth of his first baby, a daughter named Curiosity
Don't miss out on the headlines from Boxing/MMA. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nikita Tszyu welcomed the birth of his first child late last week, a daughter named Curiosity. Tszyu and his wife, also named Nikita, confirmed the heart-warming news on Saturday night via social media. 'Curiosity Tszyu,' the boxer wrote on Instagram. 'Named after the NASA Mars Rover, Curiosity. 'Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. 'It is this powerful force of curiosity which has led humans to become explorers, scientists, historians & artists. 'Curiosity is the everlasting flame burning in all of us that compels us to ask questions, to wonder, to learn, to grow and to know. 'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. 'May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her. 'As Curiosity's parents, we vow to nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushidō 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her.' While older brother Tim prepares for his world title rematch against Sebastian Fundora on July 19, the intensely private Nikita kept the impending birth of his daughter a closely guarded secret. The couple were married in a surprise, low key ceremony in January, with the Nikita later revealing to CODE Sports that he made their wedding rings himself. 'I melted the silver and made it in my garage – I forged it myself,' he said. 'I did my ring and her ring. I had to do about 10 different rings because I had to shape it and everything. 'I learned the art form, or how to do it in a weekend and I got the rings created in two more days. 'I'm a smelter now.' Tszyu hasn't fought since his fight of the year win over Koen Mazoudier last August, with a hand injury keeping him sidelined at the start of the year. The 27-year-old is been slated to step back in the ring in August, with a potential showdown opposite Michael Zerafa later in the year, although nothing has been confirmed.

'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her.' Nikita, brother of Tim Tszyu and son of champion fighter Kosta Tszyu, said that as Curiosity's parents, he and his wife vowed to 'nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushido 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her'.
