Paul Gallen has once again baited Sonny Bill Williams about a potential meeting inside the ring while discussing Tyson Fury‘s upcoming fight against Dillian Whyte.
Fury will step inside the ring to take on Whyte during an April 24 blockbuster at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.
Gallen and Williams broke down how the fight would go, and the Sharks legend could not resist taking a little jab at Williams over a bout that has been a decade in the making.

“It’ll be an interesting fight,” Gallen said during Nine’s NRL coverage.
Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte on Sunday April 24 will be live and ad-free only on Stan Event, and can be purchased by Stan customers for $60. Ring walks for the main event are expected no earlier than 7am AEST
“It’ll be like me and you, mate, high and short. Maybe we should make it happen one day, what do you reckon?”
“We’ll see, bro, we’ll see,” Williams said in response to Gallen, while sporting a wry smile.
Williams had the opportunity to train with Fury in the lead-up to the Whyte bout, and said he didn’t see anyone coming close to the British star.
“For my time with Tyson, getting to see how great he is as a boxer up close, I don’t see anyone coming close to him in the heavyweight division at the moment,” he said.
“It’s going to be a good fight,” Gallen added. “Dillian Whyte is always a puncher’s chance. He is one tough guy.”
“He’s obviously a lot shorter than Tyson Fury, so he’s going to have to get inside him and do his work when he does get inside him.
“But Tyson Fury is smart enough to jab him from the outside and probably will be able to tie him up once he gets inside.”
Before any bout with Gallen, Williams could find himself in a blockbuster showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, who named the former league star on his “hit list”.
Williams’ name was dropped by Paul on a podcast with legendary trainer Teddy Atlas alongside Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Anderson Silva, Michael Bisping and Tommy Fury.
