Sonny Bill Williams v Paul Gallen fight LIVE updates: Rugby league greats go face-to-face in the ring
Go to latest Good evening fight fans! It's the fight they said would never happen. But here we are, ringside at Qudos Bank Arena, for a grudge match that has been more than a decade in the making; Sonny Bill Williams versus Paul Gallen. The former footballers have clashed over everything from the length of the rounds to the gloves that will be used, threatening to scupper one of the most anticipated boxing events of the year. Given how many false starts there have been, it appeared this was never going to happen. However, the chance to finally settle the score - getting paid $1 million each may have also had something to do with it - means we are finally here. And we'll be there to bring you all the action as it happens. 7.28pm Green v Mundine IV? In undercard action, Rahim 'CJ' Mundine earned a second-round KO of Joe Vatusaqata in their super-middleweight clash. The son of Anthony Mundine then called out the son of Danny Green, Archie, a chance for a new generation to step into the Mundine-Green rivalry. Rahim was closing in on an NRL debut in 2021 while playing fullback for Souths, only to have his dreams dashed by a tackle from a young Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i. 'Early in that year a superstar, Joseph Sua'ali'i tackled me and I dislocated my left hip,' Mundine said. 'They said that was like a car-crash injury, that slowed me down a bit.' Mundine has switched his focus to boxing and has now earned his second victory and there is talk now of him going up against Archie Green, who is about to make his boxing debut. 'He's got a similar style to his dad, I've got a similar style to my dad,' Mundine said. 'Everyone knows what goes on when that happens. It would be like Connor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr, an Australian version. Anthony Mundine added: 'We want to make Green-Mundine money.' 7.24pm To get you in the mood, check out this fight teaser This is one of the best I have seen. The narrator is Temuera Morrison, aka Jake 'the Muss' (he was also a bounty hunter in Star Wars, some people get all the good gigs). Enjoy. 7.20pm Good evening fight fans!
