Heavyweight boxer David Tua has some serious thinking to do over the next 48 hours as he plans his American return.
But as ONE News revealed on Wednesday, plans for a December bout in New Zealand are still on, and a reputable opponent has been signed up to fight the Kiwi boxer as his career resurgence continues.
Duco events, the promoters of the recent 'Fight of the Century' revealed on Wednesday they have had initial discussions with David Tua about setting up a bout with Nigeria boxer Friday Ahunanya - the same guy who handed Shame Cameron his first ever knock-out in 2007.
Duco events also confirmed they have got a signed contract from Ahunanya, who is reportedly keen for the bout, but are refusing to give anymore details until they have had further discussions with the Tua camp.
If the December fight does go ahead, it will be a major draw-card for Tua fans who flocked to watch him knock-out Shane Cameron in the second round of their bout in Hamilton.
And even Cameron's trainer Ken Reinsfield believes Tua could prove more than a match for Ahunanya - who has lost just three out of 32 fights.
