Breaking: Burgess in Talks to Fight Nelson Asofa-Solomona as No-Limit Boxing Eyes Next Crossover Showdown
Table of Contents
An unexpected cross-sport matchup is taking shape in boxing circles. Former NRL forward George Burgess is negotiating a potential showdown with Nelson Asofa-Solomona, with reports noting Burgess is in talks to enter the ring against NAS.
The development comes as NAS, towering at around 200 cm and tipping the scales near 130 kg, finished a Friday-night card with a brutal knockout of Jeremy Latimore. Burgess was present in the crowd, observed NAS’s triumph, and is said to have had a brief chat with him about a possible bout.
Other suitors floated for NAS
Beyond Burgess, boxing insiders have floated matchups with Paul Gallen and Curtis Scott. It remains to be seen who NAS will face next as he consolidates his status in the No-Limit Boxing arena.
Gallen attended the event, while Scott stood in Latimore’s corner, underscoring the big-star interest that accompanies NAS in the crossover scene.
Previously, NAS aimed barbs at Gallen, hinting retirement could be on the table for the former rugby league great. NAS suggested that if the price is right, Gallen could return to the ring, noting that “that’s a fight we can make down the track.”
What’s at stake
The post-fight atmosphere centers on the appeal of cross-sport clashes and the growing market for heavyweight boxing crossovers. NAS remains a tall, imposing presence at 200 cm and 130 kg, which makes any future matchup especially compelling for fans and promoters alike.
