David Tua est un boxeur néo-zélandais né le 21 novembre 1972 à Apia, Samoa.Il est considéré comme un des plus durs puncher de sa génération, bien que n'ayant pas réussi à conquérir de ceinture mondiale.David Tua démarre la boxe à 7 ans, contraint par son père. Il remporte à trois reprises le championnat de Nouvelle-Zélande en 1989, 1990 et 1991. Médaillé de bronze aux championnats du monde amateur à Sydney en 1991, il finit également 3e aux Jeux olympiques de Barcelone en 1992 dans la catégorie poids lourds.Tua passe professionnel en 1992, disputant son premier combat le 1er décembre, 10 jours après son 20e anniversaire. En un an, il enchaine 11 victoires, dont 10 par KO. Lors des années suivantes, il bat notamment des boxeurs chevronnés comme l'ancien champion du Canada Ken Lacusta, ou l'ancien champion du monde WBF lourds-légers Dan Murphy.Après 22 victoires consécutives, le 15 mars 1996, il est opposé à John Ruiz pour la ceinture WBC Internationale. Tua l'emporte en 19 secondes après une série de crochets brutaux. Le 20 septembre, il défend sa ceinture contre le boxeur invaincu Darroll Wilson en le battant par KO dès la fin du 1re round.
