Nelson Asofa-Solomona has continued his verbal attack on Paul Gallen, setting the scene for an explosive heavyweight bout between the NRL premiership winners.
Nelson Asofa-Solomona, the heavyweight contender, weighed in at 137.5kg for his upcoming bout with Paul Gallen, who came in significantly lighter at 104.18kg. The Sharks legend's teammates have reportedly been urging Asofa-Solomona to win the fight. The main event is scheduled to begin on Friday at 7:00pm AEDT and will be broadcast live by ABC Sport.
Following a heated weigh-in at Sydney's TikTok Entertainment Centre, Asofa-Solomona vowed to deliver a knockout victory or no result at all.
