NSW rugby league captain Paul Gallen is more worried about losing than getting hurt in his first professional boxing bout, fearing a defeat could dent his football reputation.
Gallen makes his professional debut on February 19 in Sydney against 19-year-old Queensland heavyweight Herman Ene Purcell (1-1, 1 KO) on the undercard of the Daniel Geale-Garth Wood middleweight fight.
