What time is the fight?

The main card gets underway from 7:00pm AEDT.

There are five fights on the main card and, depending on how long they'll all go for, we may not see the main event until gone 10:00pm AEDT.

That does depend on knock outs in the earlier fights of course, but sit back and enjoy, while settling in for the long-ish haul, I reckon.

Fight night in Sydney

By Simon Smale

Good evening folks and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of the latest boxing-NRL crossover event to hit our screens.

My name is Simon Smale and I am not at ringside for you tonight, as we witness a packed card of rising Australian ring talent and a couple of old NRL players fighting it out for our entertainment.

The headline bout is between Paul Gallen and Nelso Asofa-Solomona, former rivals on the field in the NRL for the Sharks and Storm respectively, now taking their grievances into the squared circle in Darling Harbour.

The merits or otherwise of these crossover fights will always be worth debating - and we can certainly do that in the comments to our hearts content.

However, there is some proper stuff happening in the ring as well, with the hugely exciting Callum Peters looking to extend his unbeaten fight record at middleweight, while two Aussie super lightweights in Jake Whyllie and Ahmad Reda are going to duke it out in what is turning into a fascinating rivalry.

We also have Paulo Aokuso defending his IBF intercontinental light heavyweight title against unbeaten Austrian Mohin Khahrazeh, so plenty to get our teeth into.
