Former NRL Player Curtis Scott Pursues Professional Boxing Career
Former rugby league player Curtis Scott has set his sights on a professional boxing debut after being denied an NRL return earlier this year. Scott, who has been embroiled in a series of off-field incidents and court battles, is now training alongside Australian fighter Brock Jarvis as he pursues a career in boxing.
Promoters No Limit are planning to debut Scott on the undercard of Sam Goodman‘s upcoming Pay-Per-View event on March 13. However, finding an opponent for Scott has proven to be a challenge. No Limit CEO George Rose revealed that contracts have been offered to several past and present NRL players, but they have all gone quiet.
Scott expressed his frustration with the lack of response from potential opponents and accused NRL stars of “running scared”. He even extended an invitation to Tevita Pangai Jnr to step into the ring with him. Despite the setbacks, Scott remains determined and committed to showcasing his skills in the boxing ring.
Curtis Scott, a 2017 Melbourne premiership winner and former NSW Origin hopeful, had his NRL return appeal rejected in December. He has since turned his attention to boxing, believing it offers him a fresh start and an opportunity to prove that he has changed. Scott has been working hard with his new trainer and is eager to demonstrate his growth and dedication.
George Rose expressed confidence in securing a fight for Scott on the March showcase but acknowledged the difficulties in finding an opponent. He believes that Scott’s training with Brock Jarvis has been beneficial and has prepared him for the professional boxing arena.
Scott’s determination has been met with mixed reactions from the NRL community and fans. While some are skeptical about his ability to turn his life around, Scott remains focused on his goal and has apologized for his past actions. He is determined to show that he has learned from his mistakes and wants to help others through his own transformation.
As No Limit continues their search for an opponent for Curtis Scott, they encourage anyone interested to contact them. Scott is prepared to give his all in the ring and prove that he has what it takes to succeed in the world of professional boxing.
