Arabic version: غالن وأسوفا-سولومونا يستعدان لنزال وزن ثقيل في سيدني
According to ABC News, Paul Gallen is scheduled to face Nelson Asofa-Solomona in a five-round heavyweight grudge match between the former NRL players at Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre.
The main card also includes undefeated middleweight Callum Peters against Juan Diego Ortiz over 10 rounds. Peters is a Paris Olympian and Commonwealth Games medallist.
Before the main event, Paulo Aokuso stopped Mobin Khahrazeh in the second round of their IBF Inter-Continental light heavyweight title fight. Ahmad Reda defeated Jake Wyllie by majority decision, with judges scoring the bout 95-95, 98-92 and 96-94.
Gallen said he felt fit and healthy after completing his preparation, adding that he expected to win if he followed his training and avoided being caught. Asofa-Solomona said he was ready to show more boxing and wanted to take the result out of the judges’ hands.
The Gallen-Asofa-Solomona contest is scheduled for five rounds. ABC News noted Gallen has fought over longer distances previously, but he is six years older than at his last fight.
