Paul Gallen has been urged to decline a rematch, or even retire from boxing, after a damaging TKO loss to Justis Huni.
Gallen (11-1-1, 6 KOs) was waved-off by referee John Cauchi in the 10th and final round of his Australian heavyweight title fight against Huni (5-0, 4 KOs), following a knockdown. It was Gallen s first defeat.
The NRL great was remarkably courageous against Huni but well-beaten, later revealing that he felt like he d broken a rib in only the second round. Gallen, 39, has a rematch clause, which he could exercise after Huni fights at the Olympics, but Australian boxing great Jeff Fenech urged him to decline.
