Boxing: Tua fight postponed until November

David Tua's fight against Belarusian heavyweight Alexander Ustinov has been postponed until Saturday, November 16.

Tua picked up a calf muscle injury last week which has forced a delay to the fight originally scheduled for August 31.

The challenge of venue availability and clashes with other significant sports events saw a slightly longer than expected hiatus for both fight camps.

"This is the fight game and every now and again fighters get injured and plans change," promoter David Higgins said.
