Heavyweight boxers Paul Gallen and Kris Terzievski are eyeing off a slice of history at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre this month.

The winner of the Wednesday 11 May bout will be crowned with dual titles for the first time in more than 100 years.

The pair were already vying for the Australian National Boxing Federation (ANBF) Australasian crown.

However, the sanctioning body recently confirmed the prestigious Australian heavyweight belt is also up for grabs.

Heading into the showdown, Gallen boasts impressive 12-1-1 statistics while his opponent, Terzievski, possesses a 10-1-1 (8KO) record.

So, it’s set up for an epic clash, according to No Limit Boxing CEO George Rose.

“This battle could see Gal write himself into the history books,” he said.

“The heavyweight championship is the most prestigious crown in Australian boxing, no doubt about it.

“Add to that the Australasian title and someone is not only going home happy, they’re going home with a bag of belts.

“Everyone knows Gal is one of the toughest blokes to ever take to the ring.

“He never backs down and plans to etch his name into the history books to back up the incredible pay per view numbers he’s drawn since giving boxing his all.”

Rose warned it would be a tough fight.

“Gal’s going to have to shock the public again if he’s to make history,” he said.

“He’s in for one hell of a fight against Kris, who is one of the most accomplished rising hitters in the division.

“We all know the power these boys hit with.

“It only takes one punch and Kris has the power to take down an icon and could very well be on his way to the pay per view paydays that Gal has been keeping for himself for the past five years.

“Everyone knows we don’t muck around at No Limit.

“We put on the biggest and best shows and we back it up with the belts.”

In one of the two co-main features, Harry Garside (2-0) will defend his Australian lightweight belt against Layton McFerran (5-1) in his third professional bout.

Nikita Tszyu, brother to world-ranked Tim and youngest son of former world champion Kostya, faces Melbourne’s Mason Smith (5-0, 2 KO) in his second pro fight.

No Limit Boxing’s Sam Goodman will also rocket into the world ratings should defeat highly-rated Japanese fighter Fumiya Fuse for the World Boxing Organisation Oriental Super Bantam title.
