The Gathering will feature a lineup of world-class boxers and former AFL superstars, all in one boxing event, unfolding in Adelaide.
The Gathering will be streamed on Stan Sport via Pay-Per-View and starts at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, April 3.
The Gathering will feature an all-star lineup of fighters headlined by Perth’s Jackson England (15-3) taking on former WBO Junior Lightweight champion Jamel Herring (24-4) for the WBO Global Super Featherweight title.
Boxing fans may remember England for his performance in a fight of the year candidate against Aussie Paul Fleming on Stan’s Turf War Pay-Per-View in 2022, while Herring holds a knockout victory over Irish star Carl Frampton.
Kane Cornes is set to go up against his Sunday Footy Show colleague Nathan Brown, while 2011 Brownlow Medallist Dane Swan will face off against Dale “Daisy” Thomas in a battle of Collingwood teammates turned foes.
AFL legends Anthony Rocca and Corey McKernan will also step into the ring as well as ex-Brisbane Lion Mitch Robinson and Kayne Pettifer.
The Gathering will also feature former Sydney Roosters and recent Gold Coast Titans signing Alex Leapai Jnr, who will make his long-awaited pro boxing debut.
Stan director of sport Ben Kimber said: “We’re thrilled to be delivering another epic Pay-Per-View event on Stan. The Gathering features one of the best cards of the year combining both AFL royalty and serious boxing talent, headlined by a title fight not to be missed.”
Promoter Sam Lu Bruna said: “This will be a fantastic event and it seems to have captured everyone’s imagination. It has a world-class boxing line-up and having some of the biggest AFL names going toe to toe makes the occasion extra special. It’s adding to an already huge sporting week in Adelaide and the SLB is proud to bring it to you.”
