Nelson flies out of ring, attacks fan after Gallen KO
The knockout isn't the end. Nelson Asofa-Solomona celebrates, climbs through the ropes and jumps into the crowd, where people attempt to restrain him as spectators film on their phones.
news.com.au titles its Short "Nelson flies out of ring, attacks fan after Gallen KO". The footage shows the disturbance before cutting back to the finish of his bout against Paul Gallen. It drew roughly 88,000 views in 16 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.
The replay shows Gallen cornered, taking a flurry of punches and collapsing against the ropes. A final right hand lands as he falls, before the referee steps between the fighters. "The last one was the worst one, boys," a commentator says.
Viewers are questioning the timing of the referee's intervention, while some want more camera angles of the crowd incident. Those are separate questions, and the brief clip gives much more space to replaying the knockout than to showing what happened outside the ropes.
Both fighters came to boxing from rugby league: Asofa-Solomona represented New Zealand, while Gallen captained Cronulla to the club's first NRL premiership in 2016.
Former professional rugby league player who played prop for Melbourne Storm and represented New Zealand internationally.
