Former boxer says he has been advised to get more community experience before politics.
Former boxer David Tua says he may consider delaying a run for Parliament until 2017, but he wants to meet with more political parties before making a final decision.
Tua met with the Mana Party on Monday to discuss a future in politics following his retirement from boxing. He also spoke with the Maori Party in December about running in the general election this year.
Tua told the Herald the discussion with Mana leader Hone Harawira, Mana candidate James Papali'i and broadcaster Willie Jackson had made him consider getting more experience in the community before making the jump to politics.
"I think the vision for now is working with youth and working within the community and to serve within that is more important than running.
