    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

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    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.
