soliman vs 5th ranked middleweight in the world

[braden]

i heard sam on the radio today he said hes fighting an american in the states after his fight saturday night he said hes ranked 5th in the world at middleweight he didnt say a name or which sanctioning body he was rated in. does anyone know who that might be? he also said whoever it is that hes gona beat him over there and then give him a rematch in melbourne.

Probaby that august body; the WBF!!!

[AntonS]

Just an honest mistake. He overlooked 1 in front of 5 in IBF

[Soundkamp]

anything eventuate from this?

[Brute]

He isn't fighting Geale, is he?

Geale is ranked 5 by Boxrec, but Sam would put up a good fight against him.

funny you should mention Geale, Brute. I vaguely remember hearing a whisper along those lines on the weekend.

i heard sam on the radio about 2 weeks ago saying his next fight was in melbourne on may 22nd at flemington racecourse he didnt mention a opponent but said he would be defending his wbf world title

I asked his business partner tonight and he knew nothing about it, sorry, my source obviously had no veracity.

There is a Cameroon middleweight based in France named Hassan N'Dam N'Jikan, who is 23-0 with 16KOs. Boxrec rates him No 7 in the World. I wonder if any of the locals are looking his way?

N'Jikan fought for Cameroon in the 2004 Olympics, losing to middleweight Gold medalist Gaydarbekov (Russia) in the third round of fights.

That's a nice little bit of research there Brute

Got to see who is about. There are always dark horses among the middleweights.
