All Blacks midfielder and former NRL star Sonny Bill Williams hasn’t ruled out a possible return to the boxing ring, confirming on an interview on Australia's Channel Nine last night that he will be happy to fight Cronulla Sharks legend Paul Gallen.

The fight between both footballers fell through last year, with both parties failing to come to an agreement and with an alleged dispute between broadcasters.

Paul Gallen is 36 years old while Williams is 33.

Williams revealed on Channel Nine’s 100% Footy show that squaring off against Gallen in the ring could be on the cards if he decides to put on the gloves again.

Williams won two NRL titles with the Bulldogs in 2004 and the Roosters in 2013.

He also won two Rugby World Cup titles with the All Blacks in 2011 and 2015.

William’s said if he ever enters the ring again he'll "come knocking" and will take up Gallen on his offer.
