The ‘turf war’ boxing bout between Sonny Bill Williams and Barry Hall is on tonight at Sydney’s ICC Exhibition Centre. Join The Roar for live coverage including the build up to the fight from 8:30pm AEDT.
This has been a fight in the making for what seems like an eternity but it’s finally here.
Former rugby and rugby league player Sonny Bill Williams is the more experienced fighter but former AFL star Barry Hall is arguably the more powerful boxer.
SBW is undefeated in eight bouts and has had three knockouts while Barry Hall has only one fight to his name when he went toe-to-toe with Paul Gallen in a six-round fight which was called a draw three years ago.
“He’s come out and branded me arrogant but I just see him, the last few months just shows what type of character he is – very, very arrogant,” Williams said before the fight.
In response, Hall came back at the former rugby hero by saying “That’s fine, I also heard he said he’s not a trash talker and after those comments I agree with him.”
We’ll keep you updated on the end of the undercard including the fight between Anthony Mundine’s son Rahim who takes on Lepani Levatia.
We’re not sure exactly when the main event will start but don’t expect it before 9:30pm AEDT. SBW vs Hall will be eight rounds and we’ll bring you round-by-round updates.
