    there is a lot of talk on the australian forums about this

    he claims he wants to win his title back(WBA), and defend it once a year whilst playing rugby league at the same time (correct me if i am wrong but doesn't the WBA require a defence every 9 months at least).

    this would be impossible as his fighting weight is 169lbs and to play football competitivly he would need to be at lest 180lbs or he runs the risk of getting snapped like a twig (then how will he defend his title) this constant weight fluctation would ruin his body

    a lot of people here in australia thinks this just proves that he is not commited to boxing and has no confidence no regaing his title from kessler
