Wallabies star Quade Cooper might want to make the most of his latest bout in January, after ARU boss Bill Pulver made it clear he does not like the idea of the Wallabies vice-captain combining rugby and boxing.
Cooper is slated to fight on Anthony Mundine's undercard on January 29th in Brisbane, but continuing his career in the ring could prove difficult, with the first five set to negotiate a new deal with the ARU later next year.
Pulver says he couldn't be more impressed with Cooper's career turnaround in 2013, but indicated boxing could be off the table in future contract talks.
The ARU chief is against one of his most valuable commodities risking injury in another sport.
Cooper won his debut professional fight by knockout in February and showed potential as a boxer.
