<p>Let’s get ready to rumble! Tonight, two of the NRL’s toughest ever players trade the cleats for gloves and will duke it out in the ring.</p> <p>Former Bulldog, Rooster and All Black, Sonny Bill Williams, will square off with Cronulla and NSW legend Paul Gallen at Qudos Bank Arena.</p> <p>Neither of these former forwards are strangers to the ring, so you can expect a decent level of fighting from both parties.</p> <p>Williams turned pro in 2009, winning local gold in the process and currently boasting a 9-1 record. His last fight was in 2022 against Mark Hunt.</p> <p>Gallen began his pro boxing career in 2014 and has taken part in some memorable bouts in that time. He too has faced and unlike SBW, beaten Hunt and his current record stands at 15-2-1.</p> <p>So, what can we expect from these two fierce competitors over the eight, two-minute rounds, scheduled for this evening?</p> <p>For info on how to watch Sonny Bill Williams vs Paul Gallen as well as expert analysis, predictions, and betting tips for the blockbuster battle, check out our SBW vs Gallen preview and prediction below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>SBW vs Gallen Prediction</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Both SBW and Paul Gallen have enough boxing pedigree and experience to know what they’re doing here.</p> <p>Their preparation will have been similar, and their fight management skills will also be evenly matched, with neither looking to over-extend themselves in the early rounds and risk emptying the gas tank, as novice fighters so often do.</p> <p>So, just what will be the deciding factors here? For SBW, it will be his physical advantages. His dominant height and reach advantage should give him the upper hand against the much stockier Gallen, but only if he can use them effectively.</p> <p>Gallen’s boxing acumen is sufficient enough to neutralise both, and we expect him to stay in the pocket, pick his punches, and when he does swing, swing with everything he’s got.</p> <p>Ultimately, though, Gallen is giving up four years as well as the obvious physical advantages. A blind man could see Sonny Bill is in better shape than the G train.</p> <p>The H2H odds reflect as much, and at the time of writing, currently have Williams as the favourite.</p> <p>Still, one wrong move could have Sonny Bill face down on the canvas, as deadly as Gallen's power is. However, as things stand, we’re siding with the H2H odds and backing SBW to bob and weave his way to a hard-fought win via decision.</p> <p><strong>Prediction:</strong> Sonny Bill Williams.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Method of victory – points or decision.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Sonny Bill Williams vs Paul Gallen Full Fight Card</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Sonny Bill Williams vs. Paul Gallen (Heavyweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>Kris Terzievski vs. Troy Pilcher (Heavyweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>Clay Waterman vs. Mose Auimatagi Jr. (Cruiserweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>David Nyika vs. Nikolas Charalampous (Cruiserweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>Alex Leapai Jr. vs. Herve Silu Mata (Heavyweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>Rahim Mundine vs. Joe Vatusaqata Super (Middleweight)</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <h2>How to Watch SBW vs Gallen</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For all fight fans Down Under looking to tune into this heavyweight clash, this is how to watch the SBW vs Paul Gallen fight.</p> <p>Stan Sport has secured the official rights to SBW vs Gallen, and as a result, this fight will stream exclusively on the platform.</p> <p>It is also a pay-per-view event, as is common with most major boxing bouts, so Stan Sport subscribers will have to pay an additional fee to access the stream.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>SBW vs Gallen Fight Date and Time</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Date:</strong> Wednesday, July 16, 2025.</p> <p><strong>Start time:</strong> 6:00 pm AEST.</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong> Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney.</p> <p><strong>Where to watch:</strong> Stan Sport.&nbsp;</p>
