The heavyweight boxer David Tua will be making up for lost time next year when he'll have three bouts in as many months.
The first, on February the 7th in Atlantic City, pits Tua against the American former WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon; most famous for being knocked out in the first round against a rampaging Mike Tyson - on February 7 in Atlantic City.
And there'll be a further two bouts – one in New Zealand in March and the other scheduled before May in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Losing a bout would be fatal to Tua's career at this stage and Seldon seems an ideal next opponent with that in mind; he's suited to Tua's style and has enough in his boxing history to maintain a sense of growing credibility for some, even though he is 42 and has fought only B-graders lately
The World Boxing Organisation currently ranks David Tua at number three and will need more matches with a few more credible fighters for real heavyweight boxing attention.
