    Kiwis rugby league hard man Nelson Asofa-Solomona knows he's in for a tough time switching to boxing full-time


    The 29-year-old has knocked back approaches from Super League and R360 to sign a multi-year deal for nine fights in the ring...and appreciates he'll be a hunted heavyweight.



    The former Storm forward is now living and breathing his new sport as he prepares for a Brisbane debut in just six weeks.



    And Asofa-Solomona has a simple goal.
