New Zealand’s number one heavyweight David Tua is in negotiations to fight Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield.
The fight would take place in Detroit on November 5.
“It’s in the negotiating stage right now,” leading boxing commentator Colonel Bob Sheridan told Live SPORT.
“That’s what we’re trying to do; put together Holyfield against David Tua, two guys who are at the same stage in their careers.”
The winner will get a shot at Vladimir Klitschko for the heavyweight championship of the world title.
If it goes ahead, the fight will be screened on Maori TV.
