According to several outlets in New Zealand, heavyweight contender David Tua (51-3, 43KOs) is close to a deal to fight Monte Barrett (34-9, 20KOs) in Brazil at the end of June.

Tua should be fighting a contender, perhaps Tony Thompson. He's running out of time, he needs to step up NOW.

at least he's active.3 fights in 10 months.it could be worse he could be fighting dominic Jenkins...besides I think Barrett & ahunanya are still better than sosnowski...he's only fighting b level opponents until he's out of his contract...as it clearly states in the article so b4 you guys jump all over him read it! He can't secure a top contender until after his next fight.cameron,Barrett,ahunanya are low risk stay busy fights.Comment
