Boxer David Tua has confirmed that in his next bout he will be taking on former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon.

He's announced three bouts to take place in the first half of next year with the first taking place on February 7th in Atlantic City the American Seldon.

The next fights will be against Friday Ahunanya in New Zealand on March 27 and in Hawaii in May against a yet-to-be confirmed fighter.

The schedule is hoped to make Tua the mandatory challenger for the heavyweight title.

Tua says he's comfortable having three fights in 84 days.

He says he needs to take it one fight at a time and win all three.
