Gallen reveals fight hit list before retirement

Boxing

Paul Gallen has called out Sonny Bill Williams, Sam Burgess and UFC star Robert Whittaker in a bid to finish his boxing career with a bang.

Gallen has declared 2022 will be the final year of his athletic career, which started as a teenager making his NRL debut in 2001.

The 40-year-old has built an impressive boxing resume since first stepping into the ring as a professional in 2014, with his only loss coming against Justis Huni.

The self-confessed prize fighter is chasing “one or two” more pay days before he hangs up the gloves for good.

PAUL GALLEN

I’m 40 years of age now, so I haven’t got a lot left in me, but a couple of fights this year will be good.

Gallen is open to fighting retired NRL great Burgess. The former Souths player has never had a professional fight, but the bout would still generate enormous interest.

The next name Gallen rattled off was UFC champion Whittaker, who also doesn’t have a professional boxing match to his name.

Gallen saved the best name for last, calling out former NZ heavyweight boxing champ and dual international footballer Williams.

PAUL GALLEN

The big one, the only fight anyone wants to see is Sonny Bill - but he’s been running for 10 years, and I think he’s going to keep running.
