Paul Gallen and Justin Hodges are about to step into the boxing ring for the second time.
As they get ready to take down each other, this is a look into what current NRL players could be next to take the plunge into the boxing ring.
1. Jason Taumalolo
The Tonga international captain was originally meant to make his boxing debut at the back end of 2021, but it didn't come to fruition.
A boxing fan in his spare time, the North Queensland Cowboys star is eager to enter the boxing ring. He will hope to follow in the footsteps of Paul Gallen, who has the same body frame as him.
In 2021, boxing promoter Dean Lonergan spoke exclusively to the Wide World of Sportsย about signing Taumalolo to a boxing fight.
"Taumalolo has signed a two-fight deal and wants to follow in Gallen's footsteps and become a professional fighter at the back end of his career," Lonergan said.
