      Watch heavyweight boxing legend savagely eat a coconut as stunned fans say ‘my teeth hurt from this’

      by

      BOXING legend David Tua had fans cringing after savagely tearing a coconut open with his TEETH.The Samoan-New Zealand former heavyweight was famed for his knockout power and explosive style. David Tua had fans cringing after savagely eating a coconutCredit: Instagram / davidtuafaumuinatoaletaiTua ripped the coconut skin off with his teethCredit: Instagram / davidtuafaumuinatoaletaiTua 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. READ MORE IN BOXINGBut 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.” Most read in BoxingWill AJ vs Fury actually happen?SunSport boxing correspondent Wally Downes Jr answers the big questions around Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury finally facing each other…

      Could we finally see Fury vs AJ this year?
      Simply: Yes.
      Before the Saudi takeover of boxing – spearheaded by Turki Alalshikh, would we have seen Fury vs Francis Ngannou, AJ vs Ngannou, Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker, Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn working together and shaking hands for photos?
      Simply: No.
      The rules, rankings, sanctioning bodies and broadcast and promotional disputes are all irrelevant when this much money is thrown at prize fighting.
      How would it work?
      It feels like the winner of Fury vs Usyk on May 18 will fight AJ as soon after as possible.
      There is a rematch clause in the current deal for Britain’s WBC champ and Ukraine’s WBA, IBF and WBO king to meet and decide the first undisputed ruler for 25 years.
      But it seems certain the belts will fragment afterwards – with a string of mandatory challengers due their crack at the four separate belts – so the clamour for AJ vs the winner might be bigger than the demand for a rerun for fewer belts.
      Where would it happen?
      It feels like every major fight is now going to happen in Saudi Arabia.
      But don’t rule out a potential Fury vs Ngannou clash taking place at Wembley stadium.
      It seems like the Saudis are keen to eventually host shows in the UK and that fight, at the home of football, would be some debut.
      If Usyk topples the Gypsy King then the hype for him to face AJ for a third time will be far less intense.
      Why this time?
      It feels like we have twice come close to seeing the clash but there were simply too many hurdles and disputes in the way – similar to the way AJ vs Wilder still hasn’t happened.
      But with Alalshikh now making Hearn’s Matchroom and Warren’s Queensberry play nice and letting Sky Sports, TNT and DAZN share the shows, there is far less to fight over in the boardroom and loads on to battle for in the ring.
      And if Fury beats Usyk and rightfully demands a huge percentage of an overdue Joshua meeting, then the Saudi’s have the cash and the clout to hand him 99 per cent of the pie – to massage his ego and bank balance – and hand AJ as much extra dough as needed to keep everyone sweet.
      Who wins?
      If Fury sets up an AJ clash by beating Oleksandr Usyk – the mathematics and stats make it clear only a maniac would back Joshua to triumph in the all-English clash.
      Usyk dominated AJ over two one-sided fights, on foreign soil.
      The Watford man has enjoyed a spike in form and respect since linking up with new trainer Ben Davison but a 20st 6ft 9in Fury – who has just slayed the gap-toothed southpaw – would be almost invincible.
      But in any major football derby or cup final the formbook is often aimed out of the window. And perhaps a rejuvenated hungry AJ could be too much for an undisputed and fulfilled Fury to handle.

He’s big, really big. He said he feels as fast as he does at 185lbs.”If Mosley is correct, then Paul has gone up to 16st 4lb, two stone heavier than his last fight.And it would be THREE STONE heavier than the 13st 1lb he scaled before losing to Tommy Fury, 24, last year.

      Yes, boxing’s youngest heavyweight champ of all time – just 20 when he achieved the feat – is preparing to lace them up again.
      He faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on July 20 in Texas.
      The controversial clash – set for the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Dallas – has been scrutinised over the 30-year age gap.
      Tyson will be 58 by the time the fight for the ages comes around and nearly 20 years removed from his last professional contest.
      He was last seen in the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition with fellow legend Roy Jones Jr, which ended a draw after eight rounds.
      Paul is meanwhile 9-1 in the ring, losing only to Tommy Fury in 2023, and has won three times since.
      His fight with Tyson will also be a landmark first on Netflix, with over 250MILLION subscribers able to watch the bout. More
