David Tua's boxing successes in the 1990s earned him a world heavyweight title bout against American boxing star Lennox Lewis in Las Vegas in 2000. The bout was a New Zealand television rating hit but did not go so well for Tua, who lost on points in 12 rounds. Here, Tua is on the receiving end of an overhand right punch by Lewis.
