    David Haye has declared that a fight with David Tua is something that "Definitely interests him" in the future.

    The New Zealand native known as 'The Terminator' nowadays stands with a record of 50-3 with 46 of those fights coming by brutal knockout.

    Tua's famous knockout over Haye's next opponent, John Ruiz, is still receiving thousands of hits a week on youtube despite the fight being several years ago.

    Regarded as one of the worst knockout defeats in a championship bout, many observers that night were worried for Ruiz as he lay motionless following the huge shots that Tua threw in the opening moments of their 1996 WBC heavyweight title fight.

    "He has been inactive for the last couple of years, but he has come back with a great win over Shane Cameron." said the new WBA heavyweight champion.

    "He had a good victory there and blasted him out of the water. Shane Cameron is a club level fighter, but if Tua can keep going the way he is going, I can definitely see a showdown somewhere in the future" said Haye.

    If Tua can beat another couple of decent fighters then this fight would be ok to see.

    I'd love to see Tua in a couple of fights in quick succession early this year before squaring off against Arreloa in the Autumn. Winner faces Haye if he's still WBA Champ late Winter. Would be explosive stuff!

    This would be a fantastic fight and one which would only increase my love of all-things Haye. He knows his chin is suspect so he targets probably the biggest one-punch puncher in the HW division. :happy

    Club level fighter Shane Cameron would have a good shot at knocking Haye out. :deal

    Tua doing so is a lock.

    I want to see Tua and Rahman settled their rivalry once and for all. Two controversial fights.

    No point for this fight. Haye should ko Ruiz brutally and then sign to fight the Klits. Nothing else need be done. IF he could win those 3 fights then enjoy retirement.
