Apart from embracing the rockstar travel, Asofa-Solomona has also opened up on a challenge from Australia\u2019s undefeated KO King Teremoana Teremoana, with the former NRL enforcer revealing \u201cthere are people who want me to fight him next\u201d.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, promoters No Limit could also turn NAS around within weeks if victorious this Sunday, with South Sydney premiership hero George Burgess almost certainly the next man up. <\/p>\n
Despite being only one fight into his new life as a professional heavyweight, Asofa-Solomona and his entourage arrived for Thursday\u2019s Sydney press conference via a privately chartered flight from Melbourne.<\/p>\n
While offering a polite \u201cno comment\u201d when asked about his lavish travel, it is understood the rookie slugger is also flying on to Shellharbour for Sunday\u2019s fight \u2013 and has a crew of six jetting around with him.<\/p>\n
While the aircraft isn\u2019t exactly Mayweather\u2019s $50M Gulfstream — which includes a bed, leather seats and the fighter\u2019s 50-0 record stitched into the carpet — the move is certainly a nod to the heavyweight\u2019s growing profile.<\/p>\n
It also mimics the likes of fellow fighters like McGregor, who travels everywhere by private jet, and Fury, who has also travelled to and from fights the same way.<\/p>\n
No stranger to a little extravagance, Fury\u2019s jet of choice boasts its own cinema, double bedroom, dining room and dedicated \u2018entourage area\u2019. There is also enough space for 19 passengers and a crew comprising two pilots, as many flight attendants and a support engineer.<\/p>\n
