ONE is a trash-talking rugby league giant, the other a G-string-wearing playboy. Now they are set to go head-to-head, with Wendell Sailor revealing he will fight Warwick Capper in a boxing showdown at Star City next week. Big Dell has promised to knock out the former Swan when the pair slug it out next Thursday night. "He bagged my arse once so it is on,'' Sailor said. "Seriously, if I lose to a bloke that wears a G-string I will leave the country. "I will find a nice little island and disappear forever.'' This content is protected At first it sounds like a mismatch, a current NRL player up against a former AFL star best remembered for his tight shorts back in the 1980s. "I have to take him seriously,'' Sailor said. "I have had the scouts out and he is 6ft6in and weighs 112kg. I am 6ft3in and weigh 112kg. Start of sidebar. "He has a big reach and apparently he is pretty fit.'' Sailor has sounded out Anthony Mundine to help him prepare. "I'll call 'Choc' and I will be going down to train with him next week,'' Sailor said. The dual international had reservations about taking the fight until Star City agreed to donate money to charity. "Half the purse will go to the Samoan tsunami appeal,'' Sailor said. "I am going over there soon to lend a hand on a trip organised by Nigel Vagana. I would not have taken the fight otherwise.'' In good news for Dragons fans, Sailor has not ruled out playing on. "The good thing about this fight is that it will make sure I stay fit,'' Sailor said. "I want to return to the off-season in good shape should I play.''
lolll...ahh classic.. Wendell is wrong about capper's height though, theres no way he is 6/6! thats wladimir klit height!
Correct mate. Wooza's only 6ft 6 in his white platform shoes. Reckon he played at around 6ft 2in and 86 kg (and not much more). He's probably beefed up a bit since he last played footy. But unless someone's taught him how to box I reckon Wendell will rearrange him. Then again it'll probably end up being a joke fight with headgear, pillows for gloves, modified rules etc, etc.
Didn't wendell fight Carl Stephonovic and it turned out to be bull**** ? Probably the same as this one.
