Paul Gallen<\/a> has taken a swipe at Justis Huni for not showing up to a media commitment ahead of their heavyweight bout in Sydney tomorrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both men weighed in today ahead of the clash, with Huni<\/a> tipping the scales at 106.4kg; seven kilograms heavier than the former Sharks captain who came in at 99.4kg.<\/p>\n

Gallen<\/a> didn't waste any time taking aim at his opponent for not showing up for an appearance on Fox Sports last night.<\/p>\n

"I'm glad Justis is here today," Gallen said at the weigh-in.<\/p>\n

"Me and Justis have a responsibility to boxing to help promote this fight and all these undercard fighters. He was supposed to turn up at NRL360 last night and didn't turn up. Again a no show.<\/p>\n

"Which is really disappointing for all these boxers. What do you think Foxtel is going to say when Dean Lonergan wants to get another fighter on there?"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When asked if he was in the Australian champion's head, Gallen responded "absolutely".<\/p>\n

"I've been in his head from day one. I know what he's thinking. I'm in his head without a doubt. He'll be thinking about me before he goes to bed tonight. I'm in his head and I'll be in his face tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

"It's going to be a hard fight I'm under no illusion as to how hard its going to be. I know how much of a good boxer he is. But if I get through those first four to five rounds I'll be in his face the whole time and I think I can knock him out late."<\/p>\n

Huni agreed that Gallen had been on his mind but not like the former NRL player thinks.<\/p>\n

"He's right, I've been thinking about him but that's just me thinking about him laying on the canvas flat face down," Huni said.<\/p>\n

"I don't let it get to me it's just words at the end of the day it won't change the outcome come tomorrow night. I'm going to put on a show.<\/p>\n

"He's going to put on that pressure but he's never fought anyone like me.<\/p>\n
