David Tua's next fight against Friday "The 13th" Ahunanya will take place at Waitakere's Trusts Stadium in Auckland.

The March 31st bout will be Tua's first fight since knocking out fellow Kiwi heavyweight Shane Cameron last October.

Tua will put his WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental heavyweight belts on the line against the US-based Nigerian, who has been sparring with former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman and Samuel Peter in preparation for the fight.

Duco Events promoter David Higgins said after years of calling for the fight, Ahunanya is relishing the chance to take on Tua.
