Nelson Asofa-Solomona had an apology to make by the time the microphone reached him. After stopping Paul Gallen in the opening round, he climbed out through the ropes into the ringside crowd before being guided back into the ring.

The heavyweight bout's abrupt finish and unsettled aftermath have drawn more than 425,000 views to FOX SPORTS AUSTRALIA's highlights in 16 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video.

The footage shows Gallen trying to close the distance against Asofa-Solomona's height and reach. A sequence of uppercuts and hooks sends Gallen down against the ropes, with referee Chris Condon stepping in to stop the contest. In the comments, a recurring question is whether that intervention should have come earlier.

Asofa-Solomona's interview shifts the tone. He apologises for his behaviour after the knockout and pays tribute to Gallen as a crossover heavyweight. The two later shake hands and speak in the ring, a quieter exchange after the frantic finish.

The main-event highlights are the largest draw among the channel's uploads from the card. Its preliminary broadcast and Paulo Aokuso's knockout highlights have also attracted audiences well above their usual pace, alongside the Ahmad Reda-Jake Wyllie bout.

Asofa-Solomona also uses his interview to name another opponent he wants: Tommy Fury, with Australia his proposed setting for the fight.
