Boxing: New delay for Tua

The purse bid for the World Boxing Association heavyweight title fight between New Zealand's David Tua and Hasim Rahman has been postponed for a second time, but both sides say they are close to a deal.

It was originally scheduled for September 5, but was postponed until yesterday, allowing top promoters to bid for the bout.

The fight is expected to be added to the star-studded pay-per-view evening on December 13.
