Alright, fight fans, buckle up because we're diving into one of the most epic showdowns in boxing history, so don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe.

On November 3, 2001, for the first time in boxing history, a match in the welterweight division put three championship belts on the line. The WBC and WBA world champion, 32-year-old Kostya Tszyu, was set to square off against the IBF champion, 24-year-old Zab Judah.

Before we dive into the fray, let's rap about these warriors, man.

After suffering a devastating defeat to Vince Phillips and losing his title in May 1997, Kostya Tszyu had to start from scratch. For a long time, he couldn't even get a shot at a championship bout...

But then, in the fall of 1998, an opportunity to reclaim a championship belt presented itself in a showdown against Cuban fighter Diosbelys Hurtado, whom Tszyu stopped in the fifth round, securing the WBC title.

The year 2001 was a triumph for our hero. In February, he scored a knockout victory over American Sharmba Mitchell, snatching the title of world champion according to the prestigious WBA.

At that moment, the ring master Kostya was at the peak of his own glory, holding two out of three major belts in his division. The dream of becoming the undisputed world champion wasn't something Tszyu dwelled on too much. Unification was almost deemed impossible due to various reasons, considering that there hadn't been undisputed champions in the junior welterweight division for almost 30 years. However, the WBC, WBA, and IBF managed to pull off the impossible—agreeing to organize a unification bout.

So, Tszyu got the chance to become the undisputed world champion and etch his name in the annals of boxing history.
