Sonny Bill Williams said millionaire Stu Laundy, heir to the millionaire ad, had signed a gentlemen's deal for their Saturday fight in Sydney.
The deal seems to be not too much to be typing each other, as Williams' remarks point out at a press conference promoting the fight on Thursday.
Williams was asked if security had weighed on him, following the death of Kain Parsons, a man from Christchurch, who was stunned at a charity event last month.
"Of course, but you are crossing the street and you could be hit by a bus," Williams told 1 News.

"I think that, as we have said before, the underlying cause outweighs that, we have a gentlemen's agreement.
"We are going to go, it will be a night of entertainment, so as I said earlier, God willing, we will earn a lot of money for this great cause for which we are trying to do it. . "
The event will raise funds for the Exodus Foundation, the Bill Crews Charitable Trust and the Auckland City Mission.
Laundy is well known in Australia as a competitor of the third season of "The Bachelorette" and has no boxing experience.
Williams, 33, is unbeaten in seven bouts, winning three wins by knockout.
His return for the fight, his first since 2015, has made his re-education for a shoulder injury suffered during the recent European tour of the All Blacks.

Williams also explained at the beginning of his life why the Auckland City Mission was one of the fight's charities.
"From where I come from, I come from a housing commission house. I grew up without wallpaper, so you know that I've tasted this aspect of life." , did he declare.
"But you know that I am very grateful for what I have, but I understand the platform that I have and the position I have in the community." I have the responsibility to render.
"Funny story when Stu presented me with a proposal and said," What about getting into something in New Zealand?

"A few organizations were withdrawn and that was the Auckland City mission and that's where my nana was working," said Williams.
"My nana, they let you know all the clothes and what people would not give up and give to the homeless.
"We rocked once a month and Nana put a little box in there so we could get clothes."
