Paul Gallen and Justin Hodges will weigh in Tuesday at 12pm (AEDT) with their grudge rematch now just a little over 24 hours away.
Gallen will fight for the last time at the Aware Super Theatre in a sequel to his September win over Hodges, who has been vocal about what he felt was a robbery.
The two butted heads again on Monday after it was revealed that they’d be fighting two-and-a-half minute rounds, rather than the three minute rounds Gallen wanted.

“It’s six two-and-a-half minute rounds. Wow. Two-and-a-half minutes. First time ever,” a fuming Gallen said.
