For NZ Sporting History today, we 're talking about the greatest heavyweight boxer to have never won the belt.
David Tua retired with a 52-win, five-loss record.
From Samoa, raised in Aotearoa, Tua is one of our biggest sports stars, inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in LA last year.
He's on holiday in Samoa at the moment, and thanked us for continuing to support him, humble as ever about his great sporting achievements.
TVNZ's sports reporter Stephen Stuart was there in Las Vegas when he went for the world title, and joins me now to talk to us about Tua's incredible career.
