David Tua's comeback is fast gaining traction.
It is understood that Tua's promoters, Duco Events, have made a verbal offer to veteran American heavyweight Tony Thompson (37-3).
The 41-year-old, who has twice fought Ukrainian world No 1 Wladimir Klitschko, is a hot prospect after pulling off a devastating second-round knockout of previously undefeated British contender David Price (15-1) in February.
Price suffered a perforated ear drum as a result of Thompson's powerful right hand.
Duco promoter David Higgins confirmed Thompson was on the shortlist for Tua's comeback, which is scheduled for August. "We are assessing Thompson against various criteria, as we are other options. We've got a few irons in the fire," Higgins said. "We do respect Thompson. He has a great record. He would be a formidable opponent."
