In a recent interview with Sport24, Elton Jantjies spoke about his passion for boxing and how it helped his rugby fitness.
Sport24 asked the question: "Super Rugby’s own Sonny Bill Williams and Quade Cooper have taken to the ring. Would you be keen to do something similar in the not too distant future?"
Elton Jantjies answered: "Definitely. I am considering an amateur fight but I still have to discuss it with a few people. As a professional rugby player, you have to get the green light from your union. Williams and Cooper have both shown how exciting it is when bringing two sports together. While they have displayed you can do two sports at once, it mustn’t interfere with your rugby. Rugby remains my primary focus but boxing is a passion of mine on the side."
So why isn't some promoter setting up a fight between Quade Cooper and Elton Jantjies???
I'd pay to see that!
