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. Despite Gallen's age and size disadvantage, the 45-year-old captain remains determined to secure a win, confident in his ability to compete and earn a substantial paycheck. The matchup between Gallen and Asofa-Solomona, one of the most intense rivalries in the NRL, will air exclusively on Fox Sports and Kayo's pay-per-view channel, Main Event, for a fee of $69.95.",
