Rugby League Giant Nelson Asofa-Solomona Jumps to Boxing on Tszyu-Zerafa Card

Solomona makes his pro-boxing debut Friday in Brisbane on the Nikita Tszyu vs. Michael Zerafa card. The 6-foot-7 Kiwi retired from the NRL in 2025 to box full-time after a 2025 season that brought three incidents and a combined seven-game suspension. He said he’s chasing a fresh start, following ex-Rugby League converts Paul Gallen, Anthony Mundine, and Sonny Bill Williams.
