    Nelson Asofa-Solomona has made an explosive professional boxing debut against ex-rugby league journeyman Jeremy Latimore


    The former Kiwis international sent Latimore to the canvas with a massive uppercut just two minutes, 22 seconds into the first round in Brisbane.

    But he says he's not overly pleased.
