If boxing fans examined Tauasa’s life outside of the sport, they would never guess that he maintains a terrifying presence in the ring. To earn a living while he’s not boxing, Tauasa works as a home care nurse, spending his days rehabilitating the disabled and the elderly. He loves his job but is fully committed to becoming a renowned boxer. Tauasa has been boxing since he was eight years old. He turned pro ten years later at age 18. Tauasa has fought the way to the top of the junior heavyweight division, and he is currently ranked sixth by the World Boxing Organization. Though he’s known for his great footwork and angles, Tauasa says that his greatest strength in the ring is his ability to break his opponents down mentally. He says the competition on “The Contender” this season is tough but that he is ready for the challenge.
