SYDNEY — Oblivious to Paul Gallen’s taunts, Justis Huni is threatening to expose the rugby league great as a boxing “fraud” on Wednesday night. After more than a month of verbal warfare, the two undefeated combatants will finally go toe to toe for the Australian heavyweight title at Sydney’s International Convention Centre. There is more than Huni’s belt on the line in what shapes as a bitter blockbuster. Having conquered UFC legend Mark Hunt and one-time world heavyweight champion Lucas Browne in his past two fights, Gallen is adamant he can shatter Huni’s Olympic dream as well. The 22-year-old is considered a gold medal contender in Tokyo and says he’s looking forward to seeing Gallen “on the canvas, face down” on Wednesday night. But Gallen doubts Huni will cope on the biggest stage of his pro career, under the glare of pay-per-view for the first time and in front of several thousand fans at the Aware Super Theatre. “Oh, that’s what he wants to do. That’s his plan but I don’t see that happening at all,” Gallen said of Huni’s KO prediction. “He hasn’t dropped one similar CLOSE UP: Heavyweight boxer and former NRL player Paul Gallen (left) faces Justis Huni at their weigh-in, ahead of their Termination Day opponent.

TRIATHLON by Jack Malcolm TAYLER Reid has finished third in the 2021 Oceania Triathlon Championships and Cup at Port Douglas, Queensland, at the weekend. He was the highest-placed New Zealand athlete in the Australian event, finishing 14 seconds behind the winner, Luke Willian. It was the best run he’d ever had off the bike; he said his 30-minute-47-second time for the 10 kilometres was between one and two minutes faster than his previous best. “I’m taking heaps of confidence out of that . . . I’m really happy with how things are tracking at this stage.” Reid exited the water in third place and TAYLER REID tried to build an advantage in the lead group competes in on the bike, but they were caught by the the Blue Lake peloton on the second of eight laps. Multisport Festival, From there, the stage was set for a 10km a two-day, three- running race, with a large group of athletes race event that all entering the final transition at the same — in January this time. year — he won for The two leading Australians started the third time. strongly in the final leg of the race and Reid Picture by wasn’t able to keep up with their initial pace. Hamish Collie Instead he battled fourth-placed Brandon Copeland for the whole of the run. “Coming down to the sprint finish, I waited for him to make the first move, then pulled up beside him and went for it in the final 50m to the finish. “I spent the next five to 10 minutes throwing up due to the effort.” Reid said he was “really happy” with how things were tracking in the lead-up to the Olympics. Four weeks from the Games start, no announcement has been made about the status of the triathlon team. Sam Ward contested Reid’s selection when the team members were announced in March. Ward is ranked higher than Reid on both the Olympic qualifying (19th and 53rd respectively) and world ranking standings (34th and 46th), but Reid has more experience in the team relay. The question for selectors is whether they want an athlete who is higher ranked for the individual discipline, or someone who has more experience in a supporting role for New Zealand No.1 Hayden Wilde. According to The New Zealand Herald, Triathlon NZ feel the best chance of a medal will come in the relay, and it is understood they have picked a team with that in mind.
