Taihia was released in December last year, while Berridge had a difficult 2015 as he lost a points decision to an above-weight Thomas Oosthuizen for the vacant IBO World light-heavyweight title, and was narrowly out-pointed in the final of the Super 8 tournament by Canterbury's Reece Papuni.
In addition to the two Westlake bouts, there is also the possibility of Berridge fighting Papuni at the July card in Christchurch on the undercard of Joseph Parker's next fight with Australian veteran Solomon Haumono.
However, negotiations with Duco will be delicate given past history, as Berridge had originally been scheduled for under card of the Parker vs Carlos Takam fight on Saturday, before withdrawing with injury.
On Friday, Berridge posted a picture of his contract on Facebook which revealed he and his team had to pay for his opponent's purse along with expenses like flights and accommodation.
"With this I was also not getting paid and with a new family this was hard to take on," Berridge said.
"I feel like I did well in my years with Duco and to be treated like this was disappointing.
"However, the team and I will not give up and will keep the fights coming."
