The highly-anticipated heavyweight fight between Paul Gallen and NRL star Josh Aloiai has been cancelled after the Manly Sea Eagles front-rower tested positive to Covid.
Aloiai later tested positive is now being treated for the illness and will not be able to headline the fight at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre as planned.
It is unclear whether Aloiai is vaccinated. The NRL is still working to immunise teams ahead of the 2022 season, with between 10 to 15 players still yet to get the jab.
