'Bam Bam' is back.
After 14-months on the sidelines, Tai Tuivasa has confirmed that his return to the cage is on the cards for the near future.
The 32-year-old had decided to take a break from competition after a five-fight losing streak which dates back to September of 2022.

Despite the skid, fans of Western Sydney's premier knockout artist have held on to the fact that his string of losses have come against fighters who have become staples of the top 15.
Tuivasa is currently ranked #11 in the UFC's heavyweight rankings, freeing him up to rebuild his career at a pace that is far more manageable than the furious schedule he was keeping before his hiatus.
But for 'Bam Bam,' he is aiming to come back with a vengeance, calling out anybody in the promotion that is willing to stand and trade.
"I’m so excited to see what this next half of my career looks like," he wrote in the caption of an Instagram post in the early hours of Thursday morning.
"I’ve had my lil break I’m ready for what next years gunna bring.
"Whoever I’m fighting next come ready."
It's unlikely that Tuivasa will find his way onto a card in the fourth quarter of 2025, however, there is a rumoured event heading to Australian shores in early 2026 which would seem to align perfectly with 'Bam Bam's' timeline for return.
