Cape Town - Don’t be too confused by the headline: Sonny Bill Williams is not about to enter a heavyweight boxing rematch with Francois Botha.
There has been occasional talk of a fresh bout after the controversial points decision Williams’ way in Brisbane two years ago, although the journeyman “White Buffalo” is now 46 and time seems against him to avenge that outcome, when a supposedly scheduled 12-rounder was weirdly ended after 10.
The focus for versatile sportsman “SBW” is all rugby union on Saturday as his next head-to-head at inside centre for the impressive Chiefs sees him, fitness permitting, coming up against a similar-sized physical specimen in the Sharks’ Frans Steyn at Kings Park (19:10).
