Heavyweight veteran David Tua, during a recent appearance on BoxingScene.com's official audio show, Leave It In The Ring Radio, said he would love to fight Chris Arreola in the near future. He returns against Monte Barrett on July 17 in Atlantic City. He wants to continue winning on route to a title shot.

Tua vs. Arreola has been mentioned a few times in the past, but for one reason or another the fight didn't happen. Tua is not overlooking Barrett, but he would love to make the fight against Arreola.

"That would be fantastic. I have an appointment with Mr. Barrett and that is the only thing really that I have on my mind, but [an Arreola fight] that's definitely the fight the fans want and the people on the scene really. And if all goes well and if the [Arreola] fight comes on....fantastic," Tua said.
