Cronulla Sharks skipper Paul Gallen will resume his boxing career against New Zealand Warriors backrower Bodene Thompson in November.
Gallen told Sky Sports Radio he is set to take on Thompson in New Zealand on November 3.
Gallen, who has a 3-0 professional record, will face an interrupted lead up to the bout with his ankle in a brace following the Sharks' 39-0 semi-final defeat to the Cowboys on Saturday night.
"I've got to get my ankle better," Gallen said.
"I'm in a brace for a week or two with that, so the preparation for the fight might take a bit of a hit there.
"In two or three weeks I'll be right with the ankle and get into training."
Gallen's last fight was a win by unanimous decision over mixed martial arts fighter Randall Rayment on January 31.
