NRL legend Paul Gallen<\/a> may have taken all before him so far in the boxing ring, but his next opponent's camp believes that he will be easy work.<\/p>\n

After dismantling Lucas Browne last month<\/a>, Gallen is set to step in the ring to take on heavyweight sensation Justis Huni on June 16 at Sydney's International Convention Centre.<\/p>\n

While the fight is schedule to be a 10-round bout, Huni's father Rockie, who also happens to be his trainer, believes his son will end Gallen's might much earlier.<\/p>\n

"I think he will get to the stage where he will get stopped or he's just taken too much punishment and the referee will turn around and say 'stop it' on him," he said.<\/p>\n

"I honestly don't see it going past the fifth round.<\/p>\n

"In saying that, Gallen is an athlete, I give him props for that. He is a legend in his sport, but this is boxing, not football."<\/p>\n

Despite Gallen taking in an undefeated 12-0 professional boxing record into the bout, Huni is currently the $1.20 favourite against the Cronulla Sharks legend.<\/p>\n

However, before he sets his sights on Gallen, Huni will face Christian Tsoye on May 26, before facing the NRL icon three weeks later.<\/p>\n
