IT’S all on — a bodybuilding Gold Coast defence lawyer is tipped to be going head to head in a boxing ring with a controversial reality TV contestant.
High-profile, pink-loving criminal lawyer Campbell MacCallum has been preparing for his second charity fight, ATG can reveal, with Married At First Sight’s Daniel Webb in his sights.
It will raise money for Webb’s brother Sam Webb’s LIVIN, which supports mental health.
A source adds the fight may be “slightly uncomfortable” — or should that be ironic? — due to Dan Webb, 35, being before court in relation to an alleged $15m-$20 million boiler room scam dating back to 2014.

It won’t be the first time MacCallum, a one-time representative rugby player and amateur bodybuilder, has stepped in the ring.

In 2016, he fought and lost on points to fellow Gold Coast lawyer Jeff Horsey over three rounds at Rumours International to raise awareness for Toowoomba’s push for a permanent neurosurgeon.
At the time he said training under former boxing star Michael Katsidis for the corporate fight was a “saving grace” as it helped fight off a heavy mental toll from work and personal pressures.
“Over the last two to three years I had been feeling the pressure of intense work situations coupled with intense private life matters,” he said at the time.
The fight against Webb — who recently returned to the rugby league field and looks in good shape — is tipped to be later this month.
MacCullum declined to confirm the rumours while Webb was unavailable for comment.
