Tua was fearless in his approach in the ring until he retired in 2013.
He still lives in Auckland and loves to keep in shape – even when he is not in the gym training.
And one recent trip to the beach went viral as Tua was seen ripping off coconut skin using his teeth.
He then cracked the coconut in half with his hand before taking a swig from the fresh water.
But fans could not help but look away, as one said: “My teeth hurt from watching this.”
Another added: “He got some strong ass teeth.”
One joked: “Look at the way this motherf***er rips into that coconut.”
Another simply put: “That’s savage.”
Tua, now 51, was a national amateur boxing champion who went to the 1992 Olympics and won bronze.
And as a professional he had memorable bouts against Lennox Lewis, Michael Moorer and Hasim Rahman.

But he never got his hands on the heavyweight title, leaving the sport as one of the most popular stars to have never won gold.
His last fight was a points loss to Alexander Ustinov in 2013, leaving the sport at 52–5–2 having NEVER been knocked out.
