New Zealand heavyweight boxer David Tua continues his attempt to build to the top of world boxing with a ten round fight against American Javier Mora on February 25 at the Hard Rock Arena in Florida.

Tua's last fight was a solid victory over Cisse Salif in October while 24-year-old Mora's last fight was almost a year ago - a KO win over Willis Locket in February 2005.

Mora is ranked at 232 with a record of 19-2-1 with 17 KOs compared to Tua at 24 and a record of 44-3-1 with 38 KOs, so it is a step up from his last two opponents but should be another notch on the belt if Tua hopes to work his way into the top contender rankings.

As always Tua's opponent has an advantage in height and reach.
