ONE is a trash-talking rugby league giant, the other a G-string-wearing playboy. Now they are set to go head-to-head, with Wendell Sailor revealing he will fight Warwick Capper in a boxing showdown at Star City next week.
Big Dell has promised to knock out the former Swan when the pair slug it out next Thursday night.
"He bagged my arse once so it is on,'' Sailor said.
"Seriously, if I lose to a bloke that wears a G-string I will leave the country.
"I will find a nice little island and disappear forever.''

At first it sounds like a mismatch, a current NRL player up against a former AFL star best remembered for his tight shorts back in the 1980s.
"I have to take him seriously,'' Sailor said. "I have had the scouts out and he is 6ft6in and weighs 112kg. I am 6ft3in and weigh 112kg.

"He has a big reach and apparently he is pretty fit.''
Sailor has sounded out Anthony Mundine to help him prepare.
"I'll call 'Choc' and I will be going down to train with him next week,'' Sailor said.
The dual international had reservations about taking the fight until Star City agreed to donate money to charity.
"Half the purse will go to the Samoan tsunami appeal,'' Sailor said.
"I am going over there soon to lend a hand on a trip organised by Nigel Vagana. I would not have taken the fight otherwise.''
In good news for Dragons fans, Sailor has not ruled out playing on.
"The good thing about this fight is that it will make sure I stay fit,'' Sailor said. "I want to return to the off-season in good shape should I play.''
