Before Mark Hunt and Lucas Browne, Paul Gallen traded punches with six footballers - including one with a sordid suspension to his credit. Here's everyone Gal has fought.
Paul Gallen punches Herman Ene Purcell during his pro boxing debut at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on February 19, 2014. Gallen was entering one of the finest years of his NRL career, when he finally led NSW to a drought-breaking State of Origin series victory. He started on a good note, beating Purcell by second round TKO.Paul Gallen didn't have it all his own way on debut.
Rasaubale was a lower-grade footballer who represented Fiji in boxing at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. As an proper pugilist, albeit on pro debut, Rasaubale gave Gallen perhaps his toughest test to date, making him go six hard-fought rounds at Sharks Leagues Club to earn a unanimous decision win. A bizarre moment occurred in the fourth round, when Rasaubale was docked a point for firing an MMA-style spinning backfist.
