September 18, 2018

The All Blacks hooker is looking to mentor his star teammate for December's bout.

All Blacks star Sonny Bill Williams has joked that teammate Dane Coles could act as his trainer for December's upcoming charity fight, with the hooker rating himself as a fighting prodigy.

Williams, 33, will take on Australian reality TV star Stu "The Bachelor" Laundy on December 1, raising funds for both the Auckland City Mission, and the Exodus Foundation.

Speaking to 1 NEWS at this morning's media conference in Auckland, Williams spoke of Coles' influence on his return to the ring.

"I sit next to him on the bus, and he's already talking so much," he began.

"He's telling me the fight plan, he really rates himself as a boxer.

"Maybe we can get him on the card."
