NRL icon Paul Gallen vs Hunt live stream and UFC beast Mark Hunt are finally going to lock horns as part of a huge boxing blockbuster in Sydney.
It’s official: Paul Gallen vs Mark Hunt is on.
The NRL legend and UFC monster are going to punch each other’s lights out as part of a boxing blockbuster in Sydney in December.
The event, scheduled for December 16 at Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta, will be headlined by Tim Tszyu, who is fresh off a dominant win over Manny Pacquiao’s conqueror Jeff Horn.
The undefeated Tszyu, who well and truly stepped out of the shadow of his famous father Kostya with his victory over Horn in August, will face New Zealand’s Bowyn Morgan as the mouth-watering double header spearheads the first boxing event in a Sydney stadium since 2006. how to watch Gallen vs Hunt
Gallen, the former NSW Origin captain who played nearly 350 games for the Sharks, is undefeated in the ring but will face his toughest test yet against heavy-hitter Hunt.
The pair have been engaged in a war of words as speculation about a fight between them ramped up, and now they’ll finally get to settle their differences with their fists.
The 46-year-old Hunt, who has faced the likes of MMA beast turned WWE star Brock Lesnar, hasn’t fought in the UFC since 2018, when he lost a heavyweight bout to Justin Willis.
He hasn’t boxed professionally since 2000 and has eight wins and eight losses in his UFC career.
Gallen, 39, last fought in November when he slugged things out against AFL icon Barry Hall for a majority draw.
“I’m going to get hit at some stage. How hard and clean he gets me remains to be seen,” Gallen said.
“To jump in the ring with someone like Mark Hunt is going to be exciting. But to beat him and have my hand held up is going to rank highly.
“I’m confident I can win. I’m really confident. I won’t be able to hurt him, look at him, but I’ll win on points.”
Tszyu enhanced his reputation with a thunderous demolition of Horn earlier this year, and now boasts a 16-0 record with 12 knockouts. watch Hunt vs Gallen fight in Australia
His next opponent hasn’t lost a fight in four years and will enter the ring in Sydney on the back of three straight KOs.
NSW Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres announced the event on Wednesday morning.
“Sydney Super Fight joins an impressive list of major sporting events that have been secured for our state through the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW,” Ayres said.
“With Sydneysider Tim Tszyu, son of Australian boxing legend Kostya Tszyu, in the ring against the Kiwi champion, this will be a contest that boxing fans won’t want to miss, and I have no doubt Sydney Super Fight will be a sellout. Hunt vs Gallen Live Stream free
