Mason to take up boxing

Willie Mason, self proclaimed spokesman for the RLPA, is going to put his money where his mouth is and get in the ring in a bid to emulate the feats of Anthony The Man Mundine and take up a career in boxing.
With Masons older brother Les just beginning his career as a professional boxer in an undercard bout at the Mundine/Soliman fight last month, Willie is said to be excited by the prospect of being able to beat up his brother and get paid for it.
For years I was on the receiving end from Les, but now I get a chance to turn the tables and get a stack of hundreds for my trouble. I just hope my mum sides with me instead of Les and the bragging rights alone are worth me taking up boxing.
Mason will begin his boxing career against former NRL bad boy John Hopoate after the completion of the NRL season. Folkesy and Noady said I couldnt put the gloves on while we are stinking it up on the field, but are happy to let me try my hand after the season ends.
Masons manager Greg Keenan, who had Willie try out for the New York Jets was commented on Masons aspirations to succeed at boxing saying If Anthony can win title fights and generate all this publicity, then Willie is certain to create just as much interest, if not more. The only problem I face is trying to talk Wendell out of it. He and Willie are very competitive, but Wendell struggles under the high ball so getting him in the ring may leave me without a client and which businessman in his right mind would want that?
Hopoate is said to be excited by the prospect of going toe to toe with Mason saying Ill warm up with Les (Mason) and then give Willie a lesson in the fine art of having your head reshaped, free of charge!
:crazy: What an obvious April Fools Day joke lol
