Tai Tuivasa has some slimming down to do before his next fight.

The veteran heavyweight contender is currently mired in a five-fight slump and is yet to be booked for a fight in 2025. That’s likely to remain true for the remainder of the year as the 32-year-old Australian admitted in an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show that while he hopes to resume his career soon, he’s well over the limit for his division.

“I’m going to go back into the cage,” Tuivasa said.
