Paul Gallen vs. Nelson Asofa-Solomona: Full card results and live updates from heavyweight showdown
Asofa-Solomona added Gallen to his unbeaten record with a brutal knockout that sent the former rugby league star to hospital.
On Friday, November 6, 2026, Nelson Asofa-Solomona defeated Paul Gallen via first-round knockout at Sydney's TikTok Entertainment Centre, sending the 45-year-old to hospital.
The bout followed a spiteful war of words during Wednesday's pre-fight press conference, with Asofa-Solomona entering the ring 201cm tall and 139kg—33 kilograms heavier than the retired Cronulla premiership-winning captain.
After the knockout, Asofa-Solomona jumped into the crowd and attempted to strike a fan, an incident witnessed by Kangaroos stars Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Munster ringside.
Asofa-Solomona later apologized, stating, "I just got in the middle of the head at the moment," while maintaining his unbeaten professional record across four bouts, all via knockout.
Undefeated Ahmad Reda secured a split decision victory over Jake Wyllie on the undercard, while Callum Peters defeated Juan Diego Ortiz; Reda faces another bout on December 13.
