Tua Turns Down Brewster

Mark Vester of Boxing Scene has pointed out that it was reported in The New Zealand Press that David Tua promoter Cedric Kushner turned down an offer for Tua to take on Lamon Brewster in May.

Tua tried to give his reasoning behind him turning down the opportunity:

“I made that decision after the Hawkins fight. As a fighter you have to have your mind in the right place, or you are going to get hurt,” Tua said. “The world hasn’t seen the best of David Tua. People can laugh at that or believe it. I don’t mind. But I’m serious. I know I haven’t fought at my peak yet. I’m not trying to sell a product or fool people. I know that my best performance is still in me.”

It was also said that Kushner convinced Tua that he needed to be more active before the fight and that May was too far away. That reason doesn’t make any sense considering that Tua’s next scheduled bout is slated to happen in June.
