Rising heavyweight contender Tai Tuivasa is looking for a fight, and one of the potential opponents he’s had his sights set on of late is former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Tai Tuivasa took to Twitter, where he implied that Junior dos Santos had turned down a fight with him. This Tweet then called for a consolation fight with Marcin Tybura.<\/p>\n

“Well got me another new contract so I\u2019m thinking I want to play PUNCH-FACE again soon… who do you want to see me dance with since [Junior dos Santos] doesn\u2019t want to. [Marcin Tybura] ya keen?????”<\/p>\n
Dos Santos quickly responded to this Tweet from Tuivasa, assuring that he’d be happy to fight him \u2014 as long as the fight occurs somewhere where the taxes aren’t too high. He then shared a bit of wisdom about fighting and taxes with his young rival.<\/p>\n

“We can dance anywhere the taxes won\u2019t kill me, friend,” Junior dos Santos said. “You gotta think about this stuff when you make real money… you keep up those wins and you\u2019ll learn about that soon, Daniel-son.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
From there, Tuivasa responded to dos Santos, assuring that his management was on top of details like taxes, and that with his endorsement deals, it wasn’t something he is too concerned about.<\/p>\n
\nThanks for the heads up Mr Miyagi.. but yea management have looked into it already as they have done for Mark over the years and financially stacks up either way with endorsements..\u263a\ufe0f. So how about Australia then?<\/p>\n
