It's apparently a big event in New Zealand. Most here are familiar with David Tua, a onetime contender for the Heavyweight title who lost to Lennox Lewis. Shane Cameron is won several fights against mostly fellow kiwi, Aussie and British boxers. He apparently has been calling out Tua for years and now Tua has obliged. The fight is basically for bragging rights in that region. Tua being trained by Roger Bloodworth is using this as a step back into the heavyweight ranks. The odds are that Tua will handle this fight without much trouble but if he somehow loses, his career is probably over.
Tua vs Arreola in a hot dog eating contest...winner advances to face James Toney
Who's your money on
*lol* I think Arreola has the edge on that one. Tua has dropped a few pounds but is still big.

Yes, Cameron is the first live opponent Tua will face in quite some time and both are sluggers so it should be an entertaining fight. I only hope that there will be some reliable streams come fight night…
