Boxing Result: David Tua Keeps Comeback Going

Last night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, ex-heavyweight world title challenger David Tua won his fourth straight contest since a managerial dispute kept him out of the ring for two years. Late replacement Maurice Wheeler managed to survive until the seventh round but was unable to hold a trademark Tua left hook to the body and was unable to beat the referee’s count.

Tua, 46-3-1 (40), is campaigning for a world title shot and many feel the powerful New Zealander could have better luck against the current crop of heavyweight titlists than he did when thoroughly outboxed by Lennox Lewis in 2000.
