Sonny Bill Williams will attempt to make his return to the ring a successful one when he takes on reality TV personality Stu Laundy in Sydney. This is The Roar‘s complete guide to the fight, including how to stream it online and watch on TV.
The fight, which is being put on for charity, will be held in Sydney, with the event aptly titled ‘banger under the hanger.’
The main event between the man known as SBW and Laundy, who is known for winning the Bachelorette, will fight on Saturday, December 1, with their fight likely to get underway sometime after 7:30pm (AEDT).
For Williams, this is his first professional fight for three years, having spent time on the comeback trail recently after suffering an injury playing rugby. He was granted the opportunity to fight by New Zealand rugby, but passed up the option of fighting rugby league hard man Paul Gallen.
Laundy has said in the lead-up to the fight that he expects to be beaten by Williams.
The fight will be available to watch through Fox Sports, who have picked up the exclusive rights to banger under the hanger.
The broadcast of Williams and Laundy will commence on Saturday at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Fox Sports Channel 506.
To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package.
