    Yep. I’ve been following his training regiment closely on Instagram for a long time now and there hasn’t been any mention of a comeback. He is simply trying to get in shape and live a healthy lifestyle as he lost his cousin and pledged to get in shape.

    Bro looks phenomenal to be his age...................like truly.

    With that being said, please I hope he doesn't. I remember when Chris Byrd was entertaining a comeback as well. These old guys need some hobbies outside of boxing :lol:

    When you lose to shot Monte Barrett, you retire and never come back.

    20 years too late. Kevin Barry has a lot to answer for, but tua is just too dumb to ever make the right decision on anything.

    Shaw Brothers Tua is his most powerful incarnation yet.

    Honestly if gets in shape again he could probably beat some top 75-100 HWs. Tua only ever had chin and power which he never really lost. The angry and motivated Tua from the Shane Cameron fight would’ve beaten half the guys in the top 10 today.

    Tua is one of the smarter ex-fighters going around. I don't believe there's any chance he's planning a comeback other than if an exhibition or 2 came his way.

    Always frustrating seeing a notoriously out of shape athlete get it all together 20 years later.

    There’s nothing to say he’s thinking about a comeback.

    It’s good to see him taking care of himself though.

    Geez Cameron sure took a beating that day. Don’t make Tua mad.

    He should fight Vitor Belfort. Get revenge for Holyfield.

    I still want Vitor vs. Fishnets. Fishnets got cold feet and ducked that one. Vitor was going to embarrass him and he knew it.

    Zhang would be a good comeback fight to see where David is at.
