He's a former Manly NRL Premiership winner who played for four clubs during his rugby league career, and is now the CEO of No Limit Boxing - one of the country's top fight promoters.

On Wednesday, 'Gorgeous' George Rose will bring Tim Tszyu's fighting brother Nikita, along with former NRL great Paul Gallen, for an action-packed fight night in Newcastle.

He joins Toohey's News podcast host Barry Toohey this week to look back on his career in the NRL, his cult following as a player, and how he transitioned to his new career in sports and entertainment.
