Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Not sure mate, but I see it is over 12 rounds so hopefully its this fight then a title bout
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Felix Sturm is fighting Predrag Radosevic next month so perhaps Martin Murray, Hassan N'Dam or Domenico Spada not sure where Mundine is ranked with the ibf.

Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Surely not another with Choc !!! Have a crack at one of the top ranked guys from overseas, such as Murray and then demand a shot at the worldtitle.

Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Flemington Aug 9 show cancelled - Soliman not ready & Ellis injured
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Anton,whats the go with Sam? is he injured? The guys never outta shape so find it strange he wouldnt be ready for a card thats 6 weeks away.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
That's the only reason I was given when requested (via email) to ditch Aug 9 show & move proposed undercard bouts into July 25 or September 12amwsnw wrote:Anton,whats the go with Sam? is he injured? The guys never outta shape so find it strange he wouldnt be ready for a card thats 6 weeks away.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
No Scotty, I'm training with Sam daily and he is fit, on weight and injury free. He is, however, in negotiations (actually his management are in negotiations) for a worthwhile opponent.
To Anton's defence, he can only work with the information given.

Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Cheers mate. i was hoping that was the case and fingers crossed that worthwhile opponent comes along.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Any news re Sams opponent ?? the middleweight division is getting really busy. I would hate for Sam to miss the bus after his great performances against Sturm and Lorenzo.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN
Looks like things have worked out for Sam....lets hope for Sam v Gealey later this year. This from Fightnews
Sam Soliman back on track
By Brett Bonetti
Sam Soliman (43-11, 17 KOs) has finally been confirmed as the IBF number one contender for the world middleweight title. The IBF has ratified Soliman’s position as the number one contender following representations from Team Soliman to the IBF after US drug testing cleared Soliman from taking any illicit substances under IBF drug protocols, following his unanimous decision win against Germany’s Felix Sturm (37-4-2, 16 KOs) in Dusseldorf on February 1, 2013.
The IBF decision upholds the result of the Soliman/Sturm fight, despite Germany’s local boxing association, the Bund Deutscher Berufsboxwer (BDB), announcing a ban of nine months, claiming Soliman had taken a performance enhancing drug.
“My determination to become the IBF world middleweight champion is unwavering,” Soliman said. “I’m back on track, and it’s a good feeling. I’m only two fights away from tasting the glory. I’m training hard and am in the best form of my boxing career. Plans are well underway for my next fight. My management has received interest from three of the top five contenders in the middleweight division who want my number one spot.”
“The IBF’s decision acknowledges I did not knowingly take any substance that was performance enhancing, and that I did not take any substance that was listed as banned in the IBF bout agreement that I signed for the Sturm fight. I am extremely grateful and relieved with the result. In relation to the BDB it is an ongoing legal case and therefore I am unfortunately not in a position to comment about this,” Soliman concluded.
Soliman’s manager David Stanley said: “IBF president Daryl Peoples, Championship Chairman Lindsey Tucker, ratings Chairman Anibal Miramontes, and IBF legal counsel Linda Torres, showed stand up leadership in bringing this to a conclusion.”
Team Soliman has brought together a team of lawyers from the USA, Germany and Australia to fight the BDB appeal. Sturm has been given the number three position and will fight unbeaten number four middleweight contender Predrag Radosevic (27-0, 9 Kos) in Dortmund, Germany on July 6 in an IBF title eliminator for the number two position.
Dave Hedgcock, Soliman’s trainer of two decades, said he was glad to see the IBF matter resolved. “The record speaks for itself, Sam has not lost in five years. We are looking forward to our next fight, which will be announced shortly,” Hedgcock said.
