Boxing: Tua title fight mooted

Boxing commentator Sir Bob Jones thinks as desperate as the Klitschko's are, they'll never fight Kiwi heavyweight David Tua.

Tua has been floated as a possible opponent for IBF and WBO world champion Wladimir Klitschko in December.

However, Jones says there's a huge gap between the Klitschko brothers and the rest of the world, including Tua.

He says the Klitschko's are desperate because they've run out of people to fight, but they'd be laughed at if they fought Tua.

Jones thinks Tua's shown in his two previous fights and against Lennox Lewis that he can't fight inside.

Tua's promoter Cedric Kushner has refused to comment on the reports.
