AFL legend Barry Hall will take on disgraced rugby league player Curtis Scott on the undercard of a No Limit pay-per-view in Wollongong.
The 47-year-old, who has already taken on NRL greats Sonny Bill Williams and Paul Gallen inside the boxing ring, was called out by Scott earlier this year after the latter knocked out Joey Leilua in a heavyweight bout.
The pair have since thrown back-and-forth barbs at each other in recent months and on Wednesday morning, No Limit announced a cross-code battle for July 10.

Hall is yet to win a professional bout, with his fight against Gallen in 2019 ending in a draw, before losing to Williams via TKO in 2022.
Barry Hall will step back into the ring in July. Stan
The event will be headlined by Sam Goodman – who is on the cusp of a super bantamweight world title shot against Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue – taking on Chainoi Worawut in the main event.
Goodman will put his mandatory IBF and WBO opportunity on the line against a tough Thai opponent in his home territory.
The undefeated Aussie champion, who hails from Albion Park, made light work of Mark Schleibs in March, recording a fourth-round knockout to preserve his 18-0 undefeated record.
“I am delighted to be heading back to one of Australia‘s premier fight cities and delivering another hometown show for Sam Goodman,“ No Limit promoter George Rose said.

“His last event was one of the best atmosphere‘s I‘ve experienced and for him to headline two shows in his home city back-to-back solidifies Sam Goodman as a bona fide Australian sporting star.
“He is on the cusp of greatness but has another tough task, and even tougher Thai, ahead of him on July 10.“
Two-time world title challenger Liam Wilson will also be in action on the card at Wollongong Entertainment Centre, taking on Youssef Dib in lightweight action.
Also on the undercard, Commonwealth Games athlete Billy Polkinghorn will make his highly-anticipated No Limit debut against Jordan Kasilieris, while the likes of Shanell Dargan and Liam Talivaa will also be featured.
