I have heard Sam has had his number one ranking in the IBF stripped, putting his shot at Sturm in jeopardy. The reason is basically he cannot fight for another regions title (PABA) without defending or instead of defending the IBF regional. Because he fought Sherrington the IBF have stripped him. IF this is correct what the hell were Sams management thinking? Or were they fed some crap about getting a crack at Fletcher or Murray. Can anybody confirm or deny this? As a long time, staunch supporter of Sams I will be gutted if this has happend!!!!

I can confirm this, Soliman knows nothing about being stripped by the IBF, because it is only a lie, more garbage started by the resident fool, with nothing more to do than try and cause drama, the resident fool, tries to make everyone believe that he knows everything that is going on, when infact, he simply makes up stories as he goes.

Soliman, has a letter from IBF President Lindsay Tucker confirming he is ok to challenge for the WBA-PABA title, so where this garbage originated is easy to see. It is just one jealous trouble making goose, who wants everyone to believe he knows everything that is going on, there is absolutely no truth or substance to his statement on another forum, and he has again, been found out lying and making up stories.

I can also confirm that Sam Soliman, has now become the Mandatory challenger to Jarrod Fletcher for the WBA-PABA title, and this fight must happen sooner than later.

If that is fact, I am over the moon. Would much rather see Sam v Sturm than Sam v Fletcher, unless Fletcher defeats Murray, whenever that happens.

IBF President Lindsay Tucker

Ouch!

Fletcher announcing a big fight this week. Will take place early next year in Europe.

So Fletcher fights Murray and Sam fights Sturm. The world has returned to normal !!

It's all good, false alarm raised by resident know-it-all dagoose.

That's why I gave it lower case letters, I didn't want you to tarnished by implications to our resident fuckwwit

I got the info third hand from someone who had heard through another forum. Hence why I posted it on here to try and get some facts. Any idea when Sturm must defend the belt against Sam by? Would Melbourne generate enough money to have the fight in Australia? or maybe Felix vacates and Sam and Daniel can fight for the vacant IBF title (yes, dreaming I know).

From the IBF rules it looks like he has 6 to 9 months.
Due to his injuries it seems unlikely but Barker could enforce his rematch clause.

Sturm generates too much money in Germany to travel for any current middleweights.
Sam will be making another trip to Germany.

Is that so?

well, is it not?

Whether Fletcher wins or losses in WBA world title challenge come Feb 1, PABA title will become vacant.

Then it is clearly vacant to #'s 1 and #2 challengers does it not

Some PABA interim titilsts remained as such for yonks. Dianever Orcales was one of them. He was eventually elevated to full champ, but only 'cos champ was elevated to "super champ". At all times Vocale guaranteed he'll get a shot at him, which never eventuated.
He was then demoted to #1 contender (in recess) – whatever that means? And then got a shot at the full title last Friday in Sydney at short notice.
Talk about a frigging outright con.
