Australian heavyweight champion Justis Huni (4-0, 3 KOs) will be in action against Rugby League legend Paul Gallen (11-0-1, 6 KOs) on June 16 at the ICC Exhibition Centre, Sydney, New South Wales, and Gallen will be the last footballer the Aussie champion will face according to his father Rocki Huni.
“We’re not looking past Gallen, but Dean (promoter Dean Lonergan) proposed that we fight either Barry Hall or Sonny Bill,” the elder Huni told the Wide World of Sports. “I said ‘no, we’re just not interested in fighting footballers after this fight.’ We prefer to fight a boxer that’s out there. Guys like Junior Fa, Dempsey McKean, Willis Meehan, you know – boxers.”
“We’re copping a lot of flack already fighting Gallen…a lot of guys out there are armchair experts and don’t understand that Gallen is a natural boxer. He’s probably the second best heavyweight in the country.”
Sorry but Huni should fight the footballers as thats where the money is and he can cash in early before facing stiffer opponents.
spot on roy , should cash in like you say
depends on how he goes, Gallen can fight he has proven that
If he’s got any real ambition then he’ll take a few fight’s in the UK, get his name known & target the Commonwealth title.
He’s only a kid but seems to have plenty of upside for someone with the skills he has at such a young age …… slowly wins the race !!
