NEWS Kotoni Staggs is ready to punch the shit out of anyone

Brisbane's own Kotoni Staggs is about to join the long list of NRL wannabe pugilists, signing a deal to make his ring debut on Paul Gallen's undercard in December. Staggs was hit up by Tim Tszyu's promoters Matt and George Rose, and Kevvie's given it all the a-okay.

Talk shit, get hit

George Rose:

“We are excited to get someone as talented as Kotoni Staggs in the ring. He is a super football player and now he will get the opportunity to do something different in the off-season. We are pretty excited to see him fight and I’m sure plenty of other league fans are keen to see how Kotoni goes. The Broncos have approved it. It’s a good opportunity for Kotoni to stay fit. When most people are having a break, he will be keeping his body in great condition and doing something different to test himself."

“Kotoni has had a little bit of amateur experience but this is totally different to what he is used to doing. Boxing is great for fitness training, but jumping in the ring is very different. To take the next step and jump in the ring is a huge commitment. Kotoni is a great athlete so he could be explosive in the ring. We haven’t found an opponent yet for Kotoni. The date will be early December and Kotoni will appear on the Paul Gallen card, we are still sorting out locations and an opponent for Gallen.”

Its a bit worrying because its mostly just dickhead NRL players that end up boxing.

Can think of better ways to pick up third party deals

I’m glad our players are taking advantage of the cap rorting masquerading as a combat sport; my only concern is injury.

i.e. Paul Gallen.

Not a fan, he’ll probably get concussed and then have concussion issues.

Its not like he's injury prone already......

I wonder what bloke who once walked past a boxing gym they’ll drag off the street to fight him.

Staggs’ favourite boxing drill is toe the line.

Kotoni won't be fighting after cutting his hand at training.

George Rose:

“Unfortunately Kotoni will no longer be fighting. We were looking forward to Kotoni making his boxing debut but we understand the Broncos must be his priority and he wants a good pre-season after the injuries he suffered last year. Hopefully we can get Kotoni in the ring at a later date.”

Chopper Burgess:

“Kotoni said, ‘How come you keep hitting me’. I said, ‘Because you are wide open, keep your guard up. I’ve spent the past two weeks with a number of the Broncos boys, including Payne Haas, Kotoni and Kobe Hetherington, and the boxing training is a good test of their fitness.”

Walters:

“It’s nice to see Kotoni back training with us. Last year, Kotoni wasn’t doing what he is doing now due to his recovery from a knee reconstruction,, so it’s good to have him back around the group.”

My first thought was the club stopped him but then that Chopper quote makes me think Katoni realised he can’t fight.

Chris Muckert has played a part too. He’s training the guys and has opened a few eyes what is required to be a boxer.

Hopefully a few of them are having their eyes opened to what’s required of an NRL player
