The former heavyweight boxer has had enough of the pre-match violence from both sides.

Former heavyweight boxer David Tua has issued a stern warning to Tongan and Samoan supporters who are clashing ahead of the match between the two sides in the Rugby League World Cup in Hamilton tomorrow night - fight me instead.

Tua, 44, has seen enough of the two sets of fans acting violently towards one another ahead of the match, and is pleading for calm.

"If you believe you have what it takes to be a fighter: Please call me," Tua said.

"I'm very easy to find, I'm in Onehunga - get in the ring and make something beautiful of yourself.

"Don't take it out on the streets."

There have been a number of violent incidents in South Auckland this week, as well as streets being blocked as fans show their support by waving flags out of cars.
