Soloman has a name in NZ, just not much of one in boxing. He was a rugby league player prior to his boxing career, so any rugby mad Kiwi (pretty much the entire country) should know who he is. He's also been pretty heavily hyped in Australia, and there's nothing the Kiwi's love more than taking out an Aussie, so I would imagine it'll generate a lot of interest there.
Interesting fight for Soloman to take at this stage of his career. If they intend to go through with the fight, it shows he's serious about making some noise IMO. I haven't seen his last fight, but if he gassed as easily as I've read on here I give Chauncy a real chance to outwork him for a UD.
Best of luck to both guys. Hopefully it leads to bigger and better things for both.
