With his long-awaited grudge match against Sonny Bill Williams just around the corner, Gal opens up on a rivalry 10 years in the making. Why is he still stepping into the ring at 43 years old? Does SBW truly fear him? And what does he make of Sonny’s drug testing accusations? This one pulls no punches.
