Exiled NRL star Curtis Scott will throw down against Joey Leilua in his professional heavyweight debut, with the fellow rugby league bad boy stepping up amid "running scared" allegations.
Speaking with
Fox Sports Australia at the weekend
, Scott accused NRL stars of "running scared" as he tried to chase a professional boxing debut - and even offered Tevita Pangai Jnr the opportunity to throw hands with him.
No Limit will today announce Scott and Leilua are set to compete on the undercard of a March 13 Pay-Per-View headlined by undefeated Australian title challenger Sam Goodman.
Goodman, who is a No.1 ranked super bantamweight, will put his mandatory world title placing on the line when he faces popular Melburnian Mark Schleibs in an all-Australian showdown.
Elsewhere, Aussie middleweight Issac Hardman will take on big punching Venezuelan Endry Saavedra.
