Nelson Asofa-Solomona has revealed his boxing career with No Limit could be over if he loses to Paul Gallen in Sydney on Friday night.
The former Melbourne Storm forward said a clause in his agreement with promoter No Limit means a loss to Gallen would end the deal, Nine reported.
“There is a contractual agreement that if I lose that’s it,” Asofa-Solomona said.
“But look, there’s no thought of losing in my head. Not in this world or any other. It’s pressure, but pressure makes diamonds. More pressure, the better.”
The heavyweights came face to face on a Sydney Harbour cruise organised by No Limit on Monday, Fox Sports reported.

Asofa-Solomona is 3-0 as a professional, with all three wins by knockout. Gallen, 45, is 16-2-1 with eight knockouts and is coming out of retirement for the bout, according to No Limit.
The 30-year-old signed a three-year, nine-fight contract with No Limit after leaving the Storm, and has beaten former NRL forwards Jeremy Latimore, Jarrod Wallace and George Burgess, Nine reported in August.
When is Gallen v Asofa-Solomona?
