Tonga Fifita, born on March 2, 1959 in Nuku'alofa, Tonga, was destined for greatness from the very beginning. He was sent by the King of Tonga to Japan at a young age to study Sumo, where he developed an incredible strength and agility that would serve him well in his future career as a professional wrestler.
After honing his skills in Japan, Tonga made his way to the United States and quickly made a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling. Throughout his career, he would go on to achieve numerous accolades, including becoming the WCW Hardcore Champion, WWF World Tag Team Champion, and a 3-time WLW Heavyweight Champion.
Known for his impressive athleticism and fierce determination in the ring, Tonga quickly became a fan favorite and earned the respect of his peers in the wrestling world.
During the later years of his WWF career, Tonga wrestled under the name King Haku for the Japanese promotion Super World of Sports. Under this persona, he brought a new level of intensity and skill to the ring, solidifying his status as one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation.
Not only did Tonga leave his mark on the world of professional wrestling, but he also passed down his passion and talent to his son, Tevita, who would go on to follow in his father's footsteps and become a wrestler in his own right. The Fifita family legacy continues to thrive in the world of wrestling, with both father and son making their mark on the industry.
One of Tonga's most notable achievements was winning the WWF World Tag Team Championship with none other than wrestling icon, Andre the Giant. The two formed a formidable team and dominated the tag team division, solidifying their places in wrestling history as two of the greatest to ever step foot in the ring.
