The 27-year-old sensationally quit rugby league last year, walking out on a $750,000 contract with the Bulldogs to pursue a career in boxing. But rumours of a return began after he was spotted watching on at a Broncos training session recently.
He is only focused on boxing 'right now', but reports suggest he has spoken to Broncos bosses about a possible return to the club after June on a four-month deal. The Broncos have not tabled an offer, but Pangai Junior is open to juggling his boxing career with the NRL — provided the club can fit him under the salary cap. The former star prop opened up on his decision to walk away from rugby league, declaring he has 'no regrets' and he is 'just happy to be back in Brisbane with my life settled again'
