Paul Gallen vs. Sonny Bill Williams Rematch Set with Unique Two-Minute Rounds

Former NRL stars Paul Gallen and Sonny Bill Williams are set to reignite their rivalry in a highly anticipated boxing rematch, but this time under a unique format—two-minute rounds. The fight, scheduled for later this year, will also feature MMA legend Mark Hunt in a separate bout on the same card.

The shortened rounds, a departure from the traditional three-minute format, aim to increase the pace and intensity of the bout. Gallen, who lost to Williams in their 2021 clash, has welcomed the change, believing it could lead to more explosive action.

“Two-minute rounds mean we’ll be going hard from the start,” Gallen said. “It’s going to be fast and furious, and I’m ready for it.”

Williams, a former rugby union and league star, remains confident but acknowledges Gallen’s determination. “Gal’s always a tough competitor, but I’m coming to put on a show,” he said.

Meanwhile, Hunt’s inclusion adds another layer of excitement to the event. The former UFC heavyweight brings his knockout power to the boxing ring, promising an action-packed night for combat sports fans.
