Rex Tso Sing-yu (traditional Chinese (HK)): 曹星如; born 15 July 1987 in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong) is the first-ever professional boxer from Hong Kong, fighting in the Super Flyweight / Junior Bantamweight (115 lbs) weight category. He is undefeated as a professional boxer, winning all 20 of his professional bouts, including 12 wins by way of knockout. Tso is rated one of the top 10 boxers in the 115 lb weight category by the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF, and is rated #2 in the world by the WBO.

Since turning pro in September 2011, Tso has fought in Hong Kong, mainland China, the Philippines, Singapore, and Macau, including 8 fights at The Venetian Macao (and twice on Manny Pacquiao undercard bouts). Rex Tso is the only professional boxer from Hong Kong and only the third ethnic-Chinese boxer to be signed to Top Rank.

Widely recognized as a role model and exemplary Hong Konger, Rex Tso is signed to a multi-year deal with Nike and is often invited to be a brand ambassador for a variety of world-class brands.

Professional titles

Rex Tso won the WBC Asia Continental Super Flyweight title in December 2012 in a bruising 12-round contest against Timur Shailezov of Kyrgyzstan, stopping his opponent in the 10th round. He then captured the WBO Asia-Pacific Junior Bantamweight title against Mako Matsuyama of Japan in February 2014, winning by TKO in the 8th round of the 10-round contest. Tso then added the WBA International Super Flyweight title to his collection after defeating Michael Enriquez of the Philippines in March 2015, and most recently captured the WBC Asia Super Flyweight title against Brad Hore in August 2015 and the WBO International Junior Bantamweight title against Ryuto Maekawa in October 2016.
