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.”
