After a decade of verbal jabs, Sonny Bill Williams and Paul Gallen are still not done talking.

The pair will finally clash in the boxing ring tonight, but first went head-to-head on the microphone at a press conference in Sydney.

Things started respectfully enough, with both men implying they were over the verbal exchanges, and simply ready to fight.

Williams says he is laser-focused, and although he may not be the best boxer, he believes he can beat this guy.

Gallen reciprocated, saying that what happened in the past does not matter.

He says they will finally settle the score tonight.

However, it was only a matter of time before the vitriol spilt out.

Accusations of drug use, charging small businesses for food reviews, and the war of words were on.

Insert: War of words, 16th July 25. NN

The much-anticipated main event is set for approximately 10 tonight at Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney.

The card will also feature the return of Kiwi David Nyika, who is coming off the back of his first career loss.

He will meet fellow Kiwi Nikolas Charalampous.
