Things not thread worthy
New Zealand's top heavyweight David Tua has confirmed his retirement from boxing.
The 39 year-old says he can no longer prepare physically and mentally for top boxing. "See my boots ... one is on the ground and one is hanging up. Right now, as of this very moment, I am retired," Tua told the Sunday Star-Times. "I love it [boxing], it is my life. I may have retired from the game itself, but I will never retire from daily challenges ... you always face challenges, no matter what," he says. Tua reached some lofty heights in his career notably challenging for the world heavyweight championship against Lennox Lewis in Las Vegas in 2000. However after that unsuccessful challenge he never really made an impact internationally. Tua will walk away from boxing with no financial rewards to show for it. |
