Boxing: Tua and Lewis to face off on tour

10:00 AM

World heavyweight title contender David Tua comes face to face with Lennox Lewis at the end of the week, but he won't be starting any mind games or trash talking.

Tua leaves Auckland today to join Lewis on a three city US media tour, usually the time for stage bravado and big time talk.

But Tua says he's never engaged in cheap talk before in his career so why start now.

He says it's far too early to try and mentally take control of Lennox Lewis anyway.
