Australian boxing star Justis Huni is willing to step inside the ring with Sonny Bill Williams, but only after Williams takes on Paul Gallen.

The Williams-Gallen bout is one that has been spoken about for the best part of a decade and could finally be on the horizon after Williams easily disposed of Barry Hall last week.

Huni, who beat Gallen in 10 rounds last June, welcomed a meeting with Williams, but said he was on "a different level" to the former NRL and All Blacks star.

"If he gets past Gal, myself and him would be the only two to beat Gal," Huni told Fox Sports.

"That fight would make sense. I'm on a different level, though.

"He's done it for a little while now. He had some fights a while ago. But it's a different level, I've been doing this my entire life.

"Just my experience, speed, my boxing IQ, those things alone, I'm a lot more experienced in the ring and fighting in front of those big crowds."

Huni holds a 5-0 professional record, with his next fight set for May 11 against Kiki Toa Leutele.
