Sports agent
Nasser met Anthony Mundine in the 1990s and the two connected, with Nasser eventually falling into a role as his manager. Mundine retired from rugby league in 2000, becoming a professional boxer.
Nasser became the manager of Sonny Bill Williams in 2008. Later that year, Williams left rugby league club the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs mid-season in controversial circumstances and converted to rugby union. Sonny Bill Williams began a part-time boxing career in 2009.
Nasser became the manager of Quade Cooper in 2011. He also manages Cory Paterson. Cooper began a part-time boxing career in 2013.
Nasser and Mundine ended their business relationship in July 2012.
In 2013 Williams returned to rugby league. However, his contract was delayed as Nasser was not an accredited National Rugby League player agent.
In February 2013 a fight Nassar promoted between Williams and Francois Botha was marred in controversy over the scheduled length of the match, WBA accreditation, match-fixing claims and a failed drugs test.
