Josh Papalii wants to enter the boxing ring

Josh Papalii wants to enter the boxing ring

Queensland Origin enforcer Josh Papalii is keen to jump in the ring as part of plans for a series of past and present NRL stars to stage a charity fight night early next year.

“It is something I am passionate about and something I want to do before I am all dusted up. I would love it. Ricky (Stuart) knows my passions and I’ve been with ‘Sticky’ for so many years now. He understands what I want to do in the near future and he will be all right with it.”

Josh Aloiai from Wests Tigers has a boxing background and I’m pretty sure he has said previously he could beat anyone in the NRL.

I think Big Papa is related to Alex Leapai who fought Wladimir Klitschko for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World. He's a first cousin I think.

So I reckon he'd go okay. Leapai was noted for his punching power and toughness. I reckon Big Papa would pack a wallop.

Gallen has a thing for fighting novices on debut. Papa qualifies.

Pffft, everyone knows professional boxing is fake. He should try his hand at professional wrestling... which is real.

Seem to recall they were cousins and even sparred together occasionally.
