Last month, he said he was training ahead of the event and plans to emulate Sylvester Stallone’s iconic film character, champion boxer Rocky.

‘It is going to be full on training and I have to trim down a little bit so I am going to be full like Rocky,’ he said on his Fifi, Fev & Nick radio show on the Hit Network.

Brendan says his fiancée Alex does not want him to fight – but the footballer is tempted by the prize money.

‘I don’t think I should either but geez, I’ll tell you what, the purse is nice,’ he said, adding that he does not yet know who his opponent will be.

The former athlete admitted that he has no boxing experience – but nonetheless is keen to give it a go.

‘I can’t fight so this is going to be awesome fun. I’ve got ages to prepare’ he said.

According to The Herald Sun, both Brendan and Collingwood star Dane Swan are set to make their boxing debuts at the AFL Legends Fight Night.

Brendan and Dane have both been linked with a tilt at boxing for the past 12 months and the duo have reportedly agreed to put on the gloves – although they will not face each other.

Promoters are understood to be in the advanced stages of finding opponents for the pair.

Brendan is best remembered for his stint at Carlton but endured a chequered career, while Dane, 38, won the Premiership with Collingwood in 2010 and packs a punch at 185cm and 95kg.
