Australian heavyweight champion Justis Huni (4-0, 3 KOs) has weighed in at 234.5 pounds for his bout against Rugby League legend Paul Gallen (11-0-1, 6 KOs) who was 219.25 pounds for Wednesday at the ICC Exhibition Centre, Sydney, New South Wales televised on Foxtel Main Event on Pay Per View.
Paul Gallen: I know what he’s thinking. He will think about me before he goes to bed. I’m in his head and I’ll be in his face tomorrow night.
Justis Huni: He’s right, I’ve been thinking about him, but that’s just me thinking about him laying on the canvas, flat and face-down. I’ll put on a show. He’s going to be putting on that pressure but he’s never fought anyone like me.”
Gallen is about to be picked apart by a young, hungry fighter. There’s a ceiling to his capabilities, and I think he’s probably reached it.
The Gallen Show is coming to an end.
Palmerbet had offered odds of $1.17 for Huni and $5.50 for Gallen, with $23 for the draw.
Gallen in 2!
Are you on drugs?
Roy: On the canvas? Actually I am hoping Gallen does well. He is maybe too brave for his own good though.
Gallen has made it clear he is not interested in titles, that he is a prize fighter and will fight for that reason win or lose going forward.
