    Australian boxing promoter George Rose is relieved Nelson Asofa-Solomona can finally be rewarded for belting opponents

    Australian boxing promoter George Rose is relieved Nelson Asofa-Solomona can finally be rewarded for belting opponents


    The former New Zealand and Melbourne Storm forward has switched to boxing after 215 NRL appearances where his physicality often saw him suspended - including the last two NRL grand finals.

    Rose says Asofa-Solomona is built for boxing.



    The Kiwi enforcer himself suspects he can make it big.
