The names should be in by now just to keep faith with the public.

There is an oldish media story about the main event, where an opponent is named for Haumono, but it is more of a puff piece for that said fighter:

Luna Park's old motto was "Just for Fun" and seems rather appropiate due to the continuance of "TBA".

Haumono 23-2-2 (20 KOs) will fight Poland's Marcin Siwy (13-0, 6 KOs) at Sydney's Luna Park on February 17.

"I've trained very hard in America," said Haumono, who has worked at the Long Life Fighter Gym in Las Vegas, where Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard were regulars.

"I'm ready for this, no-one is going to stop me.

"The Polish heavyweights are very strong.

"I want nothing less than a knockout."

"Solomon Haumono would greatly enhance his chances of fighting Joseph Parker if he can get himself ranked in the IBF and the WBO and the WBC," Duco Events' director Dean Lonergan told AAP.

"Also Solomon has been off the map for quite some time, so what he needs to do is get himself in the media.

"If Solomon can make a big enough case for himself in the ratings and the media, it's a fight we'd look at, even after Joseph Parker potentially becomes the heavyweight champion of the world."

Looks like this promotion has gone the way of Luna Park's big dipper!

And Solomon is still demanding that Parker shape up to him, but Parker's people are not the best bit interested despite Solo's grumbling.

Solo just can't seem to take a trick.
