Latest news on Tua comeback.
Heavyweight boxer David Tua's next three fights are to be staged in the United States and New Zealand.
Tua is about to set out on Tua De Force, a three-fight campaign which he is calling his continued offensive to win the world heavyweight championship title.
Ranked third by the World Boxing Organisation (WBO), the New Zealander's first fight is on February 7 against former World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Bruce "The Atlantic City Express" Seldon in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Tua's US-based promoter, Cedric Kushner, hopes that a series of successful fights will help elevate Tua in the rankings with the principal world sanctioning bodies.
"Fighting regularly obviously helps the process of conditioning and also raises your profile, because you are prominently in the limelight for extended periods," Cushner said today.
Tua's second fight, scheduled for New Zealand in March, will be against Friday Ahunanya, who beat Shane Cameron in Auckland last year.
His last fight will see Tua head back to the US for a fight in Hawaii, with the opponent yet to be announced.
